<p>WASHINGTON -- Neither fashion Mecca nor fashion wasteland, Washington has its own idea of how to dress.</p> <p>A uniform of sorts emerges from this city of political leaders, civil servants, policy-watchers and lawyers. Think red, gray and blue.</p> <p>For men, especially on Capitol Hill, the safe bet for those wanting to blend in is a dark blue suit, starched dress shirt, plain tie and polished shoes. Aides often wear a blue blazer and khaki pants.</p>
