Modern workwear isn’t usually at the cutting edge of fashion trends. Most of it is drab, dreary and generic, and it can leave the wearer feeling demotivated when it should deliver empowerment in the workplace. The latest range of trendy and functional workwear available at engelbert-strauss.co.uk manages to deliver practical and aesthetic benefits in equal measure – keeping employees safe and looking their best at all times.
For workers performing a manual job that requires ease of movement, protection and lightweight layers, finding something that delivers all three can be a real chore. But it’s now possible to look fantastic and stay mobile thanks to a new selection of polo shirts, T-shirts and sweatshirts. Available in a myriad of colours, these garments allow people to express their individuality at work whilst remaining practical. Whether the wearer works in the great outdoors or in a pressure-filled commercial kitchen, there are stylish garments for every taste.
Work trousers are very rarely fashion items, as they need to deliver practical benefits. Where employees are working outside, they need to provide protection from the elements; they may also need to provide protection for the knees and hips. Thankfully, the latest range of utility and cargo trousers blend design and practical features seamlessly. There are high-vis options where roadside working is necessary, and bib and brace sets are ideal for builders, forest workers and skilled tradesmen.
A sturdy, waterproof jacket is often all that stands between windswept workers and a range of potentially dangerous medical conditions. However, work jackets are known for being rather dull and uninspiring. But with so many design and colour combinations now available, workers can now stay protected and looking their best at all times. Softshell jackets, fleeces, body warmers, high-vis options and multifunctional coats include a myriad of storage options, material types and design features for providing protection from the worst that Mother Nature has to offer.
The first priority of all workwear has to be safety, but that doesn’t have to be to the detriment of style. Work trousers, shirts and jackets have evolved over the years, and they are now as much about cutting-edge design as they are about practical considerations.
