• This article will show you how to make better
  choices when it comes to your work clothes.
• Buying workwear for your company, from PPE to
  promotional clothing, can be a difficult
  decision.
• Here are some helpful tips to save you time and
  allow you to focus on other aspects of your
  business.

Consider the image you want your work clothes to
project.

• When purchasing workwear, keep in mind that image
  is an important part of a company's success.
• Your employees will only have one chance to make
  a first impression, so it's critical that it's a
  positive one.
• It's a good idea to choose logos, colours, and
  designs that complement your brand image and help
  customers recognise you quickly.

Work uniforms are both fashionable and workable!

• It is also critical that your workwear actually
  does the job you need it to do there is no point
  in looking great if you are not safe or capable
  of doing your job correctly.
• The precise details will be determined by your
  job role industries such as building or
  construction workwear will require specific PPE
  to protect employees, whereas those working in
  hospitality will have more freedom with design
  and style, but will need to consider other
  factors such as plenty of pockets and an
  abundance of pens.

5
Purchase long-lasting workwear.

• You may be tempted to go for the cheapest deal in
  order to cut costs and maximise profit, but keep
  in mind the old adage that buying cheap may
  result in you buying twice! Workwear will be
  subjected to a great deal of use, wear and tear,
  and must be able to withstand the physical
  demands of a typical working day.
• With this in mind, it is critical to inspect the
  materials and ensure that they are tough, built
  to last, and will not need to be replaced too
  soon.
• Spending a little more on the initial investment
  can sometimes help you.

Climate and comfort

• It is also important to understand the
  environment in which the clothing will be worn,
  as this will influence both the design and the
  materials you choose.
• Employees need to be comfortable in order to
  perform well, so avoid thin t-shirts if there
  will be a lot of outdoor or freezer work, just as
  fleece jackets will not be required in a hot,
  busy kitchen!

How do your employees feel about their work
uniforms?

• Perhaps the most important factor to consider
  when purchasing workwear is that it is
  comfortable for your employees to wear.
• They are, after all, the ones who will be forced
  to wear the items on a daily basis, and there is
  no greater blow to morale than being forced to
  wear an unattractive and uncomfortable uniform!
  Furthermore, they are likely to have a better
  understanding of the practicalities of their role
  and will be able to provide honest feedback.

• An open discussion can lead to a purchase that
  everyone is happy with, which is a great way to
  boost team spirit, increase morale, and create a
  pleasant, productive working environment that
  customers will notice.

Use the free advertising

• Workwear is primarily intended to be functional,
  but that does not preclude it from being used to
  your advantage through subtle advertising! Make
  sure your company name or logo is clearly
  visible, and that any observer can immediately
  associate the staff member with your brand this
  is a simple way to boost your marketing at no
  additional cost!
