Uniform on the job is of course just something one has to do, same as wearing business attire during the application process. Of course with the bad form fitting and quality of the stuff the company gives us i can't be bothered to go beyond the minimum required by the uniform manual.
During flightschool i couldn't have cared less. Went to a flightschool of one of the major legacy airlines in europe and there was no school uniform so we usually flew in sneakers, shorts and t-shirts. It was darn hot in arizona during the summer after all. Of course, many of us, including myself, initially bought the airlines flight suit and wore that during flying. I stopped doing that after i had an unplanned layover in palm springs due to the aircraft being AOG. Having nothing to wear except that weird jumpsuit was kinda bad during that evening, never wore that thing again
