They also show discipline and that they belong to the same team. Hence, it is important the we choose the right fabric for the work uniform to ensure comfort, ease and a sense of professionalism and unity.

Importance of work uniform

Professionalism - First impression is the last impression. Your professional attire says everything about and thus must be looked after.

Trustworthy - Employees wearing branded workwear are more trusted by the customers as they are easily approachable. They seem to take pride in their work and thus look worthy of providing expected products and services.

Deduction of tax - A branded uniform can also be a claimable tax deduction* if the uniform is a set of clothing that recognizes your staff as employees of your business.

Time-saving - When you belong to a group/association/organization it is best suggested to have a dress code, or even better, a uniform so that the daily workers know what they are supposed to wear the next day too and thus keep their uniform ready beforehand, without wasting time.

What do you think is an ideal fabric for a uniform?

It is important to spend a good amount of time to decide and choose the right fabric and color for a work uniform. It should not only look good, but it should also be of good quality and be comfortable.

• Wash-ability – The fabric should be able to lock the color. Meaning, after washing, the color should stay as vibrant and original and must not fade away with every wash.

Durability – Since uniforms are to be worn for the whole day, many times of the week, they must have strong durability. Weathering or depreciation of uniform fabrics, dulling and fading of colour and outstretching of fabrics after multiple washes are some of the most common problems that arise in uniform fabrics. Therefore, it is important to use good long-lasting fabrics. Polyesters are highly durable followed by cotton and other synthetic material.
