The Perfect Winter Wardrobe Doesn't Exi.... Winter Is Coming And Here Is Everything You Need To Know.

As we begin to head into the last months of Autumn, we become very aware of the approaching winter season and the conditions it will bring. While winter is one of the drearier seasons, that doesn’t stop blue-collar workers from heading out into harsh conditions every day and working hard.

During this season it is important for everyone, especially those working outdoors or in open spaces, to stay warm and healthy and protect themselves from the environment.

It’s crucial that all tradies learn to stay protected against any drops in temperature as cold weather can affect your body’s ability to fight off viruses and infections. By keeping warm, you can help yourself stay well this winter and stay comfortable at work.

To keep warm, you need to have the appropriate workwear for whatever the weather brings. The basic guidelines of what to wear are:

 

  • Layers: Wear plenty of thin layers rather than one thick one. There is no doubt that layering is one of the best things you can do to beat the cold. Your body loses most of its heat through your neck, head and feet. So, wearing a warm hat, keeping your neck out of the elements and selecting proper work boots is paramount to staying war
  • Fabrics: It’s also important to choose the right fabrics that trap heat easily, while allowing sweat to evaporate. Wool, polyester fleece and polypropylene are recommended, and it is advised that you don’t wear cotton if you are layering.

 

 

 

While it is easy to follow the basics, we believe in not only keeping warm, but looking stylish while doing it. A versatile wardrobe is key to successfully dressing for harsh conditions. Here is the perfect winter wardrobe that you didn’t think existed:
