Work Clothes

Depends on your chart of accounts. Select an appropriate existing account, or create a new account if you need to keep track of that expense.

Supplies may be a good choice. Uniforms may be another.

Most likely as an expense.

If one is required to purchase and maintain (eg. have cleaned at cost) I would put that either to an existing "Other Expense" account, or create an expense account called "Work Clothes Expense". I would then expense the purchase, alteration and repairs, and cleaning expenses to that account.

As with other posts, I do however strongly suggest you speak to your accountant prior to implementing any changes.

Stephanie, I always recommend that no one use "Other Expense: or "Miscellaneous Expense". In the US, IRS really likes to launch into and tear this type of account apart looking for personal items among other things.
