How to Choose the Right Summer Workwear for Your Team

  • Choose breathable fabrics: When the weather is warmer, fabric choices become more important than ever. Look for cotton, moisture-wicking polyester or odour reducing technologies to help regulate body temperature in the summer months.

  • Consider lightweight garments: Wherever possible, offer a lighter alternative to your standard uniform garments to allow for better airflow and all-day comfort

  • Think about fit: Consider offering looser alternatives to allow for ease of movement and ventilation

  • Select styles based on environment: Summer workwear isn't a one size fits all. Consider offering alternative garments for your different teams eg your office staff may require a different polo to your warehouse staff.

  • Prioritise durability: Your teams workwear will naturally be washed more frequently in the summer months so ensure you're choosing items with longevity and durability in mind.

  • Consider lighter colours: If your brand guidelines allow, opt for lighter coloured garments as they reflect heat better than darker shades

  • Check for practical features: Items within our summer all stars range offer specifc summer ready features such as such as UV protection, quick-dry fabrics or reinforced seams

  • Think about personalisation: Warmer months shouldn't mean your branding disappears. Choose garments that are made for print and embroidery.

Summer Workwear FAQs

What is the best fabric for summer workwear?

Lightweight and breathable fabrics such as cotton or moisture-wicking polyester are ideal for summer, helping to keep employees cool and comfortable throughout the day.

Are polo shirts or T-shirts better for warm weather?

Both are great options. T-shirts offer maximum breathability and comfort, while polo shirts provide a slightly smarter appearance for customer-facing roles.

How can I keep my team cool while maintaining a professional look?

Opt for lightweight garments in breathable fabrics, and consider layering options like polos or lightweight shirts that balance comfort with a professional finish. Moving from print to embroidery can boost the professional look of a more casual summer item.

Is summer workwear suitable for outdoor jobs?

Yes, many summer workwear options are designed specifically for outdoor use, with features such as UV protection, moisture-wicking materials and durable construction.

Can summer workwear be customised with our logo?

Absolutely. Most summer garments, including T-shirts, polos and caps, can be customised with embroidery or print to ensure your branding remains clear and consistent, whatever the weather.

How should summer workwear be cared for?

Follow the garment care instructions, but generally washing at lower temperatures and avoiding heavy tumble drying will help maintain fabric quality and shape.
