The leaves are starting to fall and the nights are drawing in… it can only mean winter is on the way. While curling up under blankets is an appealing thought, cosy clothing is essential to keep warm through the colder months. Winter can be beautiful and you can get out and enjoy it as long as you have the correct gear! The right winter apparel will keep you and your team happy, not only whilst working but also to enjoy the great British outdoors.
As the days draw shorter and the sky takes on a grey hue, brightening up your day with winter woollies and bright combos certainly helps to keep the blues away! Winter style doesn’t have to be all black and grey, so add a dash of colour.
Our top tips for winter weather:
1. Dress in layers. Layers insulate the body and make regulating your temperature easier. Thermals and base layers are great for outdoor workers. Thermal long johns are a great option for keeping legs toasty; coupled with a thermal top you’ll be onto a winning combo. Perfect for keeping your team warm and happy! For sports the Cool Long Sleeve Base Layer is brilliant. It comes in a variety of colours and has a moisture management system to keep you warm.
2. Wear thick socks. We all know having warmer feet helps to keep us warm, but do you know why? Here comes the science part: having warm feet opens up blood vessels and allows more efficient blood flow around your body which redistributes the heat. This encourages better sleep, revitalises waning energy levels and helps keep you comfortable, fit and well. These thermal socks are really comfortable and durable and marry well with outdoor boots.
3. Keep your head and neck warm. Winter woollies are a firm favorite and we have some super scarf and hat combos that are sure to keep those chills away. Sets were very popular last year and we predict that these, along with our vast range of bobble hats, will be favoured this year. You may not think you can get branding onto bobble hats, but you can! Many of them can be embroidered and make your logo really stand out. Keep your brand trendy with fashionable accessories!
4. Add a bodywarmer to your team uniform. Bodywarmers are a great way of having your arms free to move around and work with ease whilst insulating your lower back which we often forget about and lose heat from. Stylish and practical, our vast range can be as flexible as you wish with bright, on-trend colours. Amazing brands such as Regatta keep your team smart, efficient and more importantly warm at work.
5. Keep your sleeves covered. Upgrade from short sleeve polos to long sleeve polos, or swap to a rugby shirt for the winter months. Thicker material equals you being warmer. Plus long sleeved shirts are perfect for layering! You can add a knitted jumper and a coat for maximum warmth.
