Creating A Quality Women’s Work Uniform

Posted on 14/06/2022


Comfort, style, and safety. When working in an industry that requires manual labour, a combination of the three is essential to your overall performance. 
 
Women’s workwear has come a long way in recent years. As more and more women opt to enter what have traditionally been male-dominated workspaces, the demand for quality women’s workwear has skyrocketed. 
 
Today, we explore the three features that constitute what a quality uniform for women looks like in a modern day workplace. 

 

Comfort

If you’re going to wear clothing for at least eight hours per day, five days a week, you’re going to want to make sure that it's comfortable! 

Every little detail counts; the pockets, seams, zippers, hemlines, and most importantly, the fabric, all must come together to form a well-fitted, comfortable item of clothing. 
 
Take our Long Sleeve Hi-vis Women's Polo for example. A smart and functional choice, made with an extremely breathable fabric for a soft inner feel, this polo is the ideal choice for comfort and function whether you’re working in rain, hail, or sunshine. 

Our Lightweight Stretch Hi-Vis Kneepad Trousers are also a #1 choice for hardworking Kiwi’s! Triple stitched for increased durability, with provision for knee pads for extra comfort on the job.  These womens trousers are one of the lightest, most comfortable work trousers on the market!

 

Style

The workplace doesn’t have to be a fashion contest, but you can still do your job in style! This doesn’t have to mean wearing anything ‘loud’ or outrageous, but can just come down to wearing sleek, well-fitting, functional clothing. 

Westpeak’s Women's Ripstop Long Sleeve Shirt offers greater freedom of movement with mesh venting to increase breathability and X-Back reflective tape with double stitching increases durability and visibility. Not only that, but the two chest pockets and pen slot provide an ideal storage space for those who always need a spare hand on the job.

 

Safety

Working in the construction industry, or any other workplace that is labour intensive, we expect that you are fully aware of the importance of safety. 
 
The nature of the job usually means that there are a number of potential hazards that can occur on site, so it’s important to always take the appropriate safety measures to ensure that your safety comes first. 
 
Night shifts often come with an increased risk of potential hazards as visibility is lower. To combat this, Westpeak’s Breathable Day and Night Women’s Polo is a clear winner. The tyre-tread reflective tape doesn’t just look great – but also dramatically increases visibility in low-light conditions.
