Math professors dress like slobs. Also I think there is impression among math people that the bigger hair you have in math - the smarter you must be =) Thank god for Einstein. If he had been more formal dresser - I might be shopping for a suit right now.
My typical uniform consists of rock climbing pants, a hawaiian t-shirt, and birkenstocks. During the summer. Also those weird math t-shirts are kind of cool to wear (the ones with Maxwell's equations or the Mathematica t-shirts).
Unfortunately I had math professors in college that also forgot to shower for like weeks. So in small classroom - the smell could get to be toxic.
