Whether your business is just starting out, you’re rebranding, or maybe just looking to change up your staff uniforms, there are so many options out there it can quickly become overwhelming. Factors you will need to consider include the type of business, the functionality and level of comfort needed for the uniforms, and cost. To help take some of the stress out of your decision, here are five different options for uniforms. 

Coveralls

Workwear overalls are a classic uniform for jobs that can get a little messy, or where employees are working with their hands a lot. This is a great choice for mechanics, plumbers, electricians, truck drivers, etc. They are comfortable, made to last, and cost-effective. However, they are pretty casual looking and can also get hot in the summertime. 

T-shirts

If you are going for a casual look at your business, t-shirts with your logo on them are a simple, comfortable, and very inexpensive option. Many different food and retail establishments have their staff wearing t-shirts, but they work well for many types of businesses depending on the look you’re going for. They come in all different sizes and are simple to replace if lost or stained. If you’re on a strict budget, you may want to consider minimally requiring your team to wear any t-shirt as long as its a certain color. 

Suits

If your business is a little more elevated or you are catering to very wealthy people, you may choose to have all of your employees wear suits. Just remember that this is a pretty expensive option and that each suit will likely have to be tailored in order to fit correctly. 

Polos

A polo shirt is slightly more elevated looking than a t-shirt, but still an easy and cost effective option. You may choose to have plain solid color polos or ones with your logo printed onto them. It’s up to you. 

Workwear

Classic workwear such as the shirts mechanics are often seen wearing with their names embroidered at the breast are an excellent option for many types of businesses because they’re comfortable, easy to work in, and come in most all sizes. There is a reason these shirts have been popular for so many decades!

Button-Ups

If you want your employees to look a little more dressy or professional, but not in full suits, a classic white button-up shirt with black pants is an option. You can even add a black necktie to class it up even further. This is a go-to for many fine dining restaurants, but can work for any job where the employees won’t get too dirty. 

Don’t let choosing work uniforms become a stressful ordeal for you. Get rid of the guesswork and consider the options above. You may even want to poll your employees to see what they would prefer to wear. At the end of the day, you’ll choose whichever uniform is best for your unique business.
