The Guru Take
No, there is no dress code. Up to your discretion as a driver.
Uber and Lyft do not enforce a dress code for their drivers, hence it is up to each driver's discretion what to wear.
However, as they work in a customer-facing service industry, there are expectations that the drivers dress nice, say collared shirts and khakis. For UberBlack and other high-end services, drivers are expected to dress nicer, say in a nice shirt, slacks, and potentially even a sport jacket. (or even in a suit).

I have had drivers wear everything from t-shirts and shorts, pajamas, and even a moomoo costume. (and it wasn't even Halloween) I love this about the industry, and I frankly don't care how they are dressed as long as they can drive and can get me to the destination safely.
I agree, but I will add "...as long as they are not smelly."
I hate to say it, but too many I have noticed do break this rule.
Yeah, I don't give a hoot what they wear. To be honest, I don't even pay attention. They sit up front, and I mean..I just see the back of his head.
When I think about it though, I think most drivers do dress nice. Hey, I guess paying respect and being proud of the job is a good thing.
So if they wear a t-shrit and jeans, they are not respecting you? or that they aren't proud of their jobs?
yep.
The UberX in my town wears a full-on tuxedo with a bow-tie. and you heard me right. UberX. Not even a Black. I first thought he was joking, and I've only ridden with him once, but when I told my friends about it, they were like, "yeah, that guy."
