"Clothing
You cannot claim for ordinary clothing which would form part of an ‘every day’ wardrobe even if you would not be likely to wear your working clothes anywhere
other than at work."

Unless it was a necessary uniform or protective clothing, and can't see how it would be for a contractor, can't see HMRC allowing it. Others in news with good cases haven't got away with it. Probably on here somewhere:
