I tend to brew more often at club gatherings than I do at home... so I'm usually dressed to travel. Jeans or overalls (shorts in the summer), tennis shoes, and a t-shirt.

I keep a pair of Ove Gloves in my back pocket at all times on brew day. Never know when someone is going to need a hand moving something heavy and very hot. They do alright for insulating againts hot kettle/lid handles - but they're useless if you splash boiling liquid on your hands. Seeps right through and then sits against your skin until you can get them off.

Now that you mention it... perhaps it would be smart to invest in some decent waterproof insulated gloves one of these days.

Jeans t-shirt and tennis shoes and a hoodie if its at night and chilly. But I do have/use a pair of long silicone oven mits I use for BBQing to move the brew kettle around.
 
Never really thought about "dressing for the occasion" when brewing. The Sudsypaul outfit might come in handy however if I keep getting interrupted. Think that should make for a very quiet brew day (after the initial sounds of people running and screaming of course)
 
I want to get me some white rubber boots like the aligator wranglers use in Swamp People those would be so cool!!!
 
A pair of shorts and a sleeveless t-shirt, barefoot. I cannot wear shoes, so if it is really cold I might wear slippers. This is pretty much the only thing I ever wear, although I do wear rubber river sandals if I leave the house.
 
Shorts/jeans and T-shirt/hoodie as is appropriate for the weather. I wear flip flops if it's warm enough. I don't own any water proof footwear.
 
Racing shirt and jeans. The next day my dirty clothes smell up the whole house with homebrew, kinda like potpourri
 
I brew in a garage in colorado with propane so the door is always open. I try to wear long quick drying pants, flannel shirt, chacos or skate shoes depending on the temp. I'm all for safety from glass and fire, but I use mainly better carboys and kegs to avoid shards of glass.
 
My gear at home has suffered from me working part time at a brewery. Now just out of habit I wear rubber boots, jeans, & dickies work shirt.
 
I'm usually a t-shirt/shorts/flip flops/barefoot brewer, I'm sad to say, but a nasty incident with my younger brother and a glass carboy has me wearing closed toed shoes most of the time these days
 
overalls and boots. received some 2nd degree burns once and learned my lesson. its kind of like putting your uniform on before playing in a sports tournament. gear up and kick ass. mmmmkay
