Essential Workwear Staples for Fall
Fall workwear for construction and “blue collar” trades emphasizes comfort, warmth, and rugged utility. Anyone who’s ever had to work outside on a chilly fall day will tell you what a difference custom Carharrt jackets or warm coveralls can make. That’s always been the case, but the last few years have seen a shift in the popularity of fall workwear. Workwear is becoming more commonplace outside of worksites.
There’s a few reasons for this. With many office workers moving to remote work-at-home positions in 2020, comfort trumped all other work clothing considerations (admit it — you know at least one person who’s complained about having to trade in their sweatpants for work slacks now that they’re back at the office). Even before the pandemic, there’d been a switch from restrictive formal office dress codes to “professional casual,” and that trend shows no signs of slowing.
Outside of work, workwear is a functional choice that’s easy to style and incorporate into a casual wardrobe thanks to its flexible nature and rugged good looks. This creates new opportunities for promotional marketers, who can gift customized workwear to valued clients and customers while also providing employees with the clothing and work uniforms they need.
With all that said, here are some essential workwear staples for fall.
Custom Dickies Work Shirts
Smart and practical, a custom Dickies work shirt makes an excellent addition to the work uniform of warehouse staff, delivery drivers, and construction crews. Dickies shirts are wrinkle- and fade-resistant, and look good in a variety of environments. Add a couple of custom Dickies work shirts to your casual wardrobe for when you’re knocking around town, doing yard work, or letting your inner DIYer shine through.They look great with an embroidered logo on the left chest pocket.
Typical custom Dickies work shirts include:
Dickies Jackets and Vests
A shirt, no matter how well made, is rarely enough to keep you comfortable in fall’s changeable weather. As the season progresses, you need something a little warmer when playing or working outdoors. Dickies vests and jackets will keep the chill off when the temperature falls, and can be quickly doffed when the sun comes out or work raises a sweat.
Examples of Dickies jackets and vests include:
Dickies Coveralls
While workwear has made inroads into casual wardrobes, it’s unlikely anyone will be wearing Dickies coveralls to the office anytime real soon. If you’re a mechanic, however, there’s no better clothing to wear to work. Amateur mechanics also value the durability and clothing protection afforded by Dickies coveralls, and a pair can make a memorable personalized gift for the right client or partner. Choose from the following:
Custom Carhartt Jackets and Coats
Carharrt was one of the first workwear brands to become in-demand outside of the workforce, and it’s easy to see why. The company has a reputation for long-lasting, tough clothing that is also smart-looking and comfortable.
For your fall workforce, Carharrt coats and jackets are essential. For the man or woman about town, Carharrt jackets are the ideal foundation for building a casual wardrobe that hints at a hard-working trade.
Embroidered Carharrt jackets are one of the most popular pieces of promotional outerwear on the market, and often used as thank-you presents to high-end clients when sealing particularly lucrative deals, or given out as rewards to exceptional employees. Any of the following Carhartt coats and jackets will put your logo in the best possible light:
Custom Carhartt Work Shirts
Like Dickies work shirts, custom Carharrt work shirts are a mainstay of blue collar workwear. Carharrt shirts provide the toughness your workforce demands while looking sharp and professional. Why opt for a less durable shirt when you can own one that stands up to the worst you can throw at it and looks great wash after wash?
Popular custom Carharrt work shirts include:
Carhartt Baseball Caps
Want to take advantage of the trend towards workwear for your next fall promotional campaign but lack the budget to afford outerwear? Need that finishing touch on a Carharrt-based work uniform? Carhartt baseball caps are ideal for both situations. Like custom Carharrt jackets and work shirts, embroidered Carhartt baseball caps are tough and well-fitting. The front panels on these stylish caps offer a canvas that’s ideal for brand logos, while the caps are small enough you can transport them to your next convention or trade show with a minimum of fuss.
Examples of customizable Carhartt baseball caps include:
