The right uniform goes way beyond appearance; it is an essential part of a brand & a team. Getting this right is a surefire way to build consistency in customer perception & touchpoints, support team building, as well as provide your team with the comfort they need for the best performance.
If you’re looking to get your workwear strategy right for 2025, there are a few things to keep in mind.
Essentials
A well-rounded kit is versatile enough to meet different occasions and conditions, while also maintaining brand integrity. Consider a variety of well-suited layers for the situations in which your team are likely to need them; for example, a basic t-shirt, transitional layers, and a jacket if your team are likely to spend a lot of time on their feet/travelling. If your team is office-based, don’t miss out on office essentials like notepads, mugs, etc. Assess your team’s needs to prioritise what items they need and anticipate demand.
Comfort & Performance
There’s nothing worse than a uniform that hampers you at your job. Make sure to consider your employees’ comfort when building their uniform, e.g. – pick moisture wicking fabrics if your team is likely to be performing physically demanding tasks. Picking stretchy & breathable fabrics would not only ensure comfort but also makes sure they can do their best.
Picking the right uniform is also an essential part of safety. Make sure to get well fitted hi-vis jackets for team members involved in roles where high visibility is required for safety.
Make sure to also get appropriate layers to suit the climate in which the team works. Doing this makes sure that employees can layer up for the cold without sacrificing the brand identity.
Sustainable Choices
Let sustainability be more than a buzzword by making it a part of your modus operandi. There are several ways to incorporate sustainability into your workwear. Using eco-friendly materials, such as recycled polyester and organic cotton, is a great way to reduce the environmental impact of your workwear and make it part of your organisation’s culture. Further, picking quality pieces ensures durability, eliminating the need to rebuy pieces & reducing waste.
