If my PC is usually a jeans-and-t-shirt-guy is wearing a suit, I'll have a suit desc, but I'll also mention that he's wearing a suit in my intro-pose. Just one little mention, not any detail about the suit (unless it's bloody or rumpled or something very distinct).
For me, it's not about whether the outfit is unusual to the character, but to the situation. If you turn up to dance club in a suit and tie, that's kinda unusual and bears mention. Otherwise I'll assume you're in "club clothes" and frankly don't give a crap whether it's jeans or cargo pants or what kind of shirt you're wearing.

@faraday Pretty much. I may just have spectacularly bad luck with dice, but that always struck me as - well, what you describe, a routine task for their job. It gets worse because they're a lot more heavy-handed on the roll penalties than they are on the roll bonuses, and every task from the 'this is the simplest thing you could ever possibly do' to 'this is actually really hard' all have the same difficulty; one more or less dare not walk and chew gum at the same time, pretty much. It all doesn't quite work out so well as it should in the end.
