The Importance of Layering Your Workwear this Winter
Layering, the system of combining multiple layers of clothing, involves adding and removing layers throughout the day, to maximise comfort. It’s something we all do throughout the winter whether we’re at home, going for a meal, out on a scenic walk or out and about. However, it’s not as common in the workplace – and we’re here to change that!
Layering your Workwear
Winter is approaching fast, so it’s important to ensure that your team has workwear is ready for the colder weather. Whatever industry you operate in and wherever you work, effective and strategic layering is a must. Doing this ensures that you insulate yourself and your staff against the cold weather outside, while still appearing tidy, professional and on brand.
At MyWorkwear, we offer a wide range of options that can be personalised from a choice of print and embroidery options, for the name of your company, and logo or even any additional branding. We look to ensure your team is comfortable, in quality workwear that promotes your brand identity. In the world of workwear, we have the perfect blend waiting for you.
The Three Key Layers of Workwear
Base layers
The base layer is like a foundation for a house. When choosing a base layer, it’s important to choose something that’s both insulating and breathable. This ensures the wearer is warm outside, and in cold environments. This also ensures they don’t overheat in warmer environments. We have a range of shirts, t-shirts, as well as polos, which add a touch of class for corporate or hospitality settings, as well as many other options available.

Middle Insulating layer
The middle insulating layer is what will primarily depend largely on the environment you work in. Those who tend to work more outside, moving around client sites, or working in cold environments, such as construction workers, gardeners, electricians, mechanics benefit from the option of sweatshirts, fleeces, and hoodies. Whereas, those who work in the office might prefer knitwear or soft-shell jackets, for a more smart and versatile look.

Outer Layer
An undoubtedly crucial layer for external and office workers alike, in protecting them from harsh conditions of rain snow, and strong wind, ensuring their workwear and uniform are protected, and kept dry. Depending on the working conditions you find yourself in you’ll be sure to find something for your team. In our wide range, we offer jackets of different styles and sizes, including bomber jackets, waterproof, insulated, and even HI-Vis Jackets.

Don’t forget the extras…
As you strategically layer your workwear to cleverly regulate your body in cold conditions, it’s crucial to address every aspect of winter warmth. Pay close attention to these essential accessories that complement your layered outfit, ensuring you stay not only warm but also well-prepared for the chilly tasks that lie ahead
Beanies or Winter Helmet Liners:
Protecting the crown of your head and your ears is paramount in the winter cold. A snug beanie or a winter helmet liner not only adds an extra layer of insulation but also keeps these sensitive areas shielded from the biting wind. Choose a style that complements your workwear ensemble, adding a touch of comfort and style to your winter gear.
Thermal and Insulated Gloves:
Your hands, often exposed to the elements, deserve special attention. Opt for thermal and insulated gloves that not only keep your hands warm but also boast waterproof qualities. This dual function ensures your hands stay dry, even in wet and snowy conditions, allowing you to work comfortably without compromising on warmth.
Durable, Slip-Resistant Boots with Insulation:
Your choice of footwear can make all the difference in navigating winter terrains. Invest in durable, slip-resistant boots that not only provide insulation against the cold but also feature waterproof qualities to keep your feet dry. The addition of good rubber treads ensures stability and traction, making them ideal for various work environments.
Thermal Socks:
Completing the ensemble, don’t forget about your feet. Thermal socks are a must-have to keep your feet warm and dry throughout the day. Their insulating properties and moisture-wicking capabilities make them an essential component of your winter workwear, ensuring that your feet stay comfortable in even the harshest conditions.
By incorporating these winter accessories into your layering strategy, you’re not just dressing for the season; you’re fortifying yourself against the elements. Elevate your winter workwear game, layer up intelligently, and accessorize wisely for a warm and productive season ahead.
