Thankfully, that’s where we can help here at city workwear – not only do we have a comprehensive range of workwear to choose from, but we also stock a variety of personal protection equipment too. So with that in mind, here are five indispensable pieces of workwear that every professional in outdoor and commercial settings should consider.
High-visibility vest
A high-visibility vest is indispensable, especially in environments where visibility is critical, such as construction sites or roadwork areas. If you think you or your team are likely to be working in low-light environments, or getting projects done after dark, then it’s a good idea to take a look at vests crafted from durable, fluorescent materials with reflective strips to enhance visibility, particularly in high-traffic zones. Some high-vis vests also have additional features like adjustable straps and pockets for added convenience and functionality.
Sturdy work boots
Protecting your feet is absolutely crucial in outdoor and commercial environments where hazards like heavy machinery, sharp objects, and uneven terrain are common. To that end, you’ll want to ensure that everyone is equipped with a pair of sturdy workwear boots with reinforced toes and slip-resistant soles, to provide ample protection and support throughout the workday.
And while you’re on the hunt, you may also want to look for features like waterproofing and insulation for added comfort and durability in challenging conditions. (Let’s be honest, it’s not unusual for rain to make outdoor work very unpleasant, whether you’re on the ground or working at height!)
Robust work trousers
Robust workwear trousers are a must-have for any professionals in outdoor and commercial environments, offering protection and functionality without sacrificing comfort. If you’re looking at equipping your own team, you may want to look for trousers made from durable materials like canvas or denim, designed to withstand the rigors of demanding work environments. For added durability and utility, you can also consider styles with additional features like reinforced knees and multiple pockets – always handy, whatever industry or sector you’re working in!
Weather-resistant jacket
Weather conditions can rapidly shift outdoors, which can often present challenges for workers. That, of course, underscores the importance of a weather-resistant jacket in your workwear arsenal. For that reason alone, you’ll want to prioritise jackets crafted from durable, waterproof, and windproof materials. These fabrics act as a reliable shield against rain and blustery conditions, ensuring you remain protected from the elements' unpredictable nature.
And when choosing your weather-resistant jacket, don’t be afraid to explore the finer details. Adjustable features such as hoods, cuffs, and hemlines offer versatility and personalised comfort. By customising the fit to your liking, you not only enhance protection but also mitigate the risk of drafts and moisture infiltration, keeping you dry and comfortable as you tackle outdoor tasks.
