What is a common name for a uniform for PE classes?
Can we use all the expressions above? Which verb is suitable in each sentence?
1 is the best if you mean clothing specifically for PE class.
2 could work, too, if you spend your whole PE class running track or around a particular running course.
3 is not specific enough. There are all kinds of uniforms, but you want to specify which type.
4 could work as long as it's not for any particular sport. Basketball, football, tennis, etc. -- each one has a different type of uniform.
5 means you aren't dressing for work or a formal occasion. This phrase has nothing to do with PE. It's usually used when men aren't wearing suits, but they aren't wearing very casual clothing, either.
