They are deducted as miscellaneous itemized deductions and are subject to the 2% limit.  In TurboTax, go to:

Federal Taxes<<Deductions and Credits<<Click through 'covering more tax breaks' until you come to the section that asks ''Did you or your spouse use your own money to pay for job expenses related to W-2 income in 2016?'' 

Select Yes and follow through the interview.

You can deduct the cost and upkeep of work clothes and uniforms if you must wear them as a condition of your employment and the clothes are not suitable for everyday wear. The IRS says the clothing must be specifically required by your employer and are not suitable for taking the place of your regular clothing.
