Contrary to other, albeit well-meaning advice posted on this web site, the revolution has no dress code.
Come as you are, suits, dockers, uniform, coveralls, or rags, everybody is welcome.
That said, I have some suggestions for sensible protest wear...
But be warned, this wardrobe may not end up looking pretty on teevee.
First:
Sensible shoes (boots are good... even as a dietary vegan I
depend on my rugged leather boots. After the first 10 hour day of marching and standing on concrete and asphalt, your feet will be one of your first concerns.
Thick denim canvas pants, coveralls are even better. You never know when you'll be dragged by your scalp on the street or shoved against some protruding piece of urban metal. Better your wardrobe takes the injury than you do.
Rain protection. Tough call here. Cheap disposable plastic crap destined to fail in the first 30 minutes or your best $300 REI jacket destined to fail when the cops drag you against the pavement? Better again to go with the the thick denim canvas, oil cloth they may have used to call it.
T-Shirts identifying your affinity group? AWESOME. The more of you there are, the more awesome. Especially when your group of (say orange and black) colors is followed by another group of fifty wearing red and blue (or whatever)
Colors? Colors are great, add a festive mood to any event, especially protests.
But when they come trying to pick YOU out of a crowd of hundreds or thousands, colors aren't your best option. Best to go with a drab khaki or grey or brown to better fade away.
Corporate logos on your outerwear? no comment

Background:
This is a side-debate that has been going on within the protest movement since probably there ever was a protest movement.
