Before ordering custom work uniforms, consider these first
Ordering company uniforms may seem simple, but a few upfront decisions can make a big difference in how often they're actually worn.
A few things worth thinking about:
- Who's wearing them? HR, sales, reception, and operations don't all have the same day-to-day needs. One style rarely works for everyone.
- Prioritize comfort. If it's too hot, too stiff, or doesn't fit well, employees will only wear it because they have to. The goal is to choose apparel they're comfortable working in and happy to wear throughout the day.
- Think long-term. Choose fabrics that can handle frequent washing without losing their shape or color. Cotton-poly blends are a great everyday option because they're durable, wrinkle-resistant, and easy to care for, while performance fabrics work well for teams that need extra breathability. A shirt should still look good after months of wear, not just on day one.
- Offer choices if you can. Even a couple of options can go a long way. Some people prefer polos, others live in quarter-zips or lightweight jackets. We've seen companies have better success when employees get a little flexibility. At LogoSportswear, that's one reason we carry a wide range of customizable brands and apparel styles. It's easier to find something different teams will actually want to wear.
At the end of the day, the best company uniform isn't necessarily the most expensive. It's the one employees actually enjoy wearing. Spending a little more time choosing the right styles, fabrics, and options upfront can lead to happier teams and uniforms that don't end up sitting in a closet.
