• What are the trends in workplace uniforms and clothing for 2021? You could say there are two separate trends. • To a large extent, employee apparel in the present year, including hand gloves and face masks, is heavily influenced by COVID19 requirements; in other respects, uniforms are merely following longestablished trends that emphasize both utility and stylishness. Let’s have a look at 2021 fashion trends in the workplace.
• In December 2020, the Pantone Color Institute revealed its Color of the Year 2021. More accurately, they selected two colors: Ultimate Gray and Illuminating (bright yellow). The company chose these colors “to highlight how different elements come together to support one another.”1 • With this endorsement in mind, gray and yellow may be considered especially apt colors for employee uniforms and apparel for 2021.
• Gloves help reduce the transmission of contaminants—an important concern in the COVID-19 era. • Setting up a wall-mounted wire glove rack with disposable latex gloves gives employees easy access to this protective apparel. Nitrile gloves— useful for those with latex allergies— are available as well.
• The facemask is another important piece of apparel these days. Wearing one substantially reduces the likelihood of COVID-19 transmission. • Disposable masks offer a cheap, effective solution. However, reusable cotton facemasks look more stylish and may be better for customer-facing roles.
• The polo shirt has been a mainstay since Ralph Lauren popularized it in the early 1970s. It's easy to see why: The polo shirt is just the right combination of sporty and formal. That makes it highly suitable for the business casual workplace of 2021.
• Denim work shirts project a highly "professional" aura. That makes these shirts a smart choice for upper-level executives in 2021. • Denim work shirts offer an ideal option for companies that prefer a standard look for employees.
• Button-down work shirts are another option for business casual environments. • A button-down shirt isn’t quite the same as a button-up shirt. Both shirts have buttons down the entire front, but a button-down shirt has additional buttons on the collar to keep it in place. • Button-up shirts are generally considered more formal than button-down shirts.
• When it comes to pants, there are options for any type of work environment in 2021: o Dickies® Industrial Cellphone Pocket Pants – These have pockets specially designed for holding mobile phones. o Red Kap® Classic Work Jeans – With reinforced pockets made from heavyweight denim, these rugged pants are ideal for blue-collar workers.
o Edwards Washable Wool Flat-Front Pants – These 75% polyester pants are appropriate wear for a wide range of occupations.
