Working from home has become increasingly common over the last few years, and likely to become even more popular with the rollout of faster, more powerful 5G wireless networks.
Many small businesses find they save money on equipment, office space, and utilities when employees work from home, and by allowing remote work, they can access skilled talent in locations across the country and even around the world.
Remote work does have some drawbacks, of course. It’s more difficult to foster a sense of belonging when you’re working from your home office. Texting, video calls, and cloud-based project management software can all help keep remote workers connected, and promotional items also help remind remote workers they’re part of the team.
Comfortable shirts and work from home outfits are especially appreciated — both by employees working from home and clients who favor casual, comfort-oriented clothing.
Comfortable shirts for working from home
One of the great advantages to working from home — for the employee at least — is that every day is a casual day. Sure, they might need to toss on an office-appropriate shirt for that important video conference, but most of the time, remote workers can dress for comfort. Custom T-shirts are especially popular, as they’re both comfy and durable. Reward your work-at-home employees and clients with these comfortable shirts, all of which act as high-quality canvases for your logo or promotional slogan:
• The Bella + Canvas Unisex Triblend Tee?
• The Anvil Ladies’ Deep Scoop Half-Sleeve T-Shirt?
• Bulwark’s iQ Long-Sleeve Henley?
• The Ladies’ Heritage Blend V-Neck Tee from New Era?
• Champion’s Original Soft Wash T-Shirt?
Polo shirts are also popular, as they look more business-like when attending online meetings. Choose from these smart-looking comfortable shirts:
• Red Kap’s Performance Knit Twill Shirt?
• Hanes 50/50 ComfortBlend EcoSmart Jersey Knit Polo?
• Under Armour’s Men’s Corp Performance Polo?
• Nike’s Ladies’ Dri-Fit Micro pique Sport Shirt?
• The Ladies’ Silk Touch Polo from Port Authority?
Sweatshirts and pullovers
While sweatshirts are not always appropriate attire for most workspaces, they’re among the most comfortable clothes in the remote worker’s wardrobe. Well-suited for staying cozy when it's too warm to turn up the thermometer but a little chilly in the home office, these comfortable clothes also double as outerwear in the spring and fall, so you can count on them for plenty of promotional impressions:
• The Unisex Sponge Fleece Raglan Sweatshirt from Bella + Canvas?
• The Men’s Rocky Zip Hoodie by Alternative?
• The Ladies Garment-Dyed Full-Zip Hooded Sweatshirt by Comfort Colors?
• The Venue Fleece ¼-Zip Pullover by New Era?
• The Women’s Brushed Terry Heather ¼-Zip by Adidas?
Putting the finishing touches on work from home outfits
Comfortable shirts are the most popular work from home clothes, but that doesn’t mean they’re the only garments remote workers appreciate. So far, we’ve focused on the upper body, but if you’re sitting at a desk all day you need a well-fitted pair of pants as well. Popular culture may decrepit remote workers in their pajamas, but most of the work-from-home workforce prefer to get dressed, as it mentally prepares them for the day ahead.
That said, work from home pants tend to have a relaxed fit. Jeans and sweatpants predominate the work-from-home wardrobe, as well as light skirts and dresses for women. Here are a few suggestions to put the finishing touches on your employees’ work from home outfits:
• Carhartt Relaxed Fit Jeans?
• Edwards Garment’s Ladies’ Polyester Pull-On Pants?
• Dickies’ Women’s Denim 5-Pocket Jeans?
• Gildan’s Open-Bottom Sweatpants with Pockets?
Not all work-from-home gifts need to be clothing. Home office workers will appreciate
personalized pens,
calendars, and other office supplies, and a
promotional mug or
water bottle will help keep your remote employees hydrated and on-task. And just like any other employee, remote workers enjoy a snack every now and then, so why not show your appreciation for their hard work with some
assorted treats?
