If you are not going to wear long work pants, at least get a pair of shin guards to protect your legs from rocks and other flying debris. Shirts: Brightly colored shirts give a professional appearance. A short sleeved shirt is great for work but when the sun is shining sometimes you need a long sleeved shirt.
