Winters are about to hit the American corporate landscape in the next few months. Fall is almost around the corner, and this is the best time to decide how to keep your workforce comfortable and warm for a smooth workflow. If your employees are comfortably attired, their performance is productive. If they appear chic, it will result in a good business representation. In any case, work uniforms are vital to enhance company performance and employees’ productivity. Here are some valuable tips to guide you in buying the right winter women’s and men’s work uniforms on a reasonable budget.
Jackets
Quilted jackets are functional and provide comfortable protection against the winter cold. Although you want to keep your staff warm, you also need to outfit them in lightweight clothes, making it easy for them to move around. Buy warm quilted jackets but make sure that their lining is 100% cotton. Cotton lining will keep the upper warm but lightweight and breathable at the same time. Moreover, these uppers and jackets minimize perspiration when your workers are doing hard labour in the winter season. Adjustable elasticated hems and cuffs are best to enhance flexibility in movement during work hours.
Pants
Legs are active when you are working. They are comparatively warm even in the cold season. Therefore, you do not require the unnecessary weight of warm clothes for pants. However, you must choose a fabric for your work pants that are sturdier to save your employees from cold. Half elasticated waistbands give extra space to move freely. Such pants easily accommodate the added bulk that many people gain on their waste-line during winter and lose when summer comes. You can add another plus point to your work pants by going for the triple-stitched garments. The triple stitches will give a heavier look to your pants without the heavy threads. Moreover, this type of stitch also makes strengthen your pants to withstand the tension during stretchy work postures.
Overalls
Overalls are fashionable and functional. They stylishly provide flexibility to a worker. Female employees especially prefer two-piece overalls because they can choose the bottom and top in different sizes to accommodate their body size and shape. The same feature helps to adapt to the changing temperatures as well. The two-piece overall in 100% cotton is an ideal choice to regulate body temperature. You can opt for footwear with extra padding if your region faces colder winters. Organizations located in areas that have mild winters can go with sneakers that are ideal in all seasons. However, you can layer up your feet with an extra layer of socks if you want more warmth on chilly days.
Footwear
“Thinking on feet” literally suits the work footwear. If you are not wearing the proper footwear, it becomes impossible to think straight due to the discomfort. Your winter footwear for your employees should have a design to offer comfortable warmth in the winter seasons. However, breathability is also a requirement so the employees can walk around comfortably.
Accessories
Many business owners think that accessories are a luxury for workwear. Very few businesses invest in adding accessories to their official uniforms. But some add-ons add value to employees’ appearance, especially in winters. For instance, neck gaiters for outdoor workers is a simple but functionally stylish option. They keep your necks warm. Likewise, thermal socks for employees who work in icy environments can have thermal socks included in their workwear. So, top up your workwear with suitable accessories for a stylishly comfortable workforce.
An additional layer
Some work environments are colder than others, particularly in the winter season. In such environments, it is better to add an extra layer to the uniform. Workers such as those in construction and farming field have to work both outdoors and indoors can work more efficiently if they have an extra layer of protection from cold in the winter. For instance, a thermal layer under the uniform is ideal to stay warm in cold conditions. Similarly, you can also invest in a mid-layer to keep your body temperature stable in style. A fleece can comfortably fit under the outer layer of uniforms. On warmer days, your employees can wear them as a final layer.
The visibility
Whether you are buying uniforms for any season, it is vital to keep your brand logo visible on them. Sometimes you purchase extra layers to transform your summer workwear to winter workwear. At other times you buy a complete set of workwear to outfit your employees in winter. It mainly depends on your budget. In any case, your brand logo must be visible on the most prominent part of your uniforms. Employees in uniforms are the front face of your company. Make your winter uniform purchase worthwhile for both your business representation and employee comfort.
