But which expense detail type do you put the new uniform expense account under?

Since QBO requires a detail type for some reason, use Other misc service cost, then click in the Name block and change it to Uniform Expense

Clothing that can be worn for regular needs is not a business expense; safety gear and specialty items are business expense. Uniforms can be Advertising.

The IRS requires you to report the clothing expenses as a miscellaneous expense

This is something else to consider about employee uniforms, as this "expense" is not always an expense.

 

If the clothing being purchased is for employees to wear as part of their job (e.g. uniforms), then it would typically be classified as a cost of goods sold.  This is because the clothing is considered to be part of the product or service that the business is selling and so it is directly related to the revenue of the business.
