From childhood to adult stage, Forrest Gump is always shown wearing a blue shirt.
Is there any reason?

1His son is also shown wearing the same kind of shirt at the end of the film. – Charles May 7 at 16:28
Have you ever watched the film and noticed that Forrest sports blue checkers a lot? This wasn’t due to laziness on the wardrobe team’s side; it symbolizes the many transitions in his life. He wears a different form of a blue checkered shirt in the first scene of each age transition in the film, to signify a change in time.
The movie ends with Forrest’s son similarly wearing a blue checkered shirt when he is getting onto the bus. Although the cast and crew from the film have not acknowledged why they did this, it became a fun Easter egg when it was discovered by fans.
