The Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2018 doubled the standard deduction and took away many of the old itemized deductions, including the itemized deduction for work-related expenses for W-2 employees. This benefitted many more people than it harmed, and maybe even you, since work-related expenses were only partly deductible, and only if you had enough other itemized deduction to make itemizing better than the standard deduction.
If you have incurred higher costs, you might ask your employer about reimbursement.
