Womens Workwear FAQ
What makes good ladies workwear?
Women’s trade workwear should be durable, flexible and comfortable. Whether you’re bending, stretching, crouching or climbing — your work gear needs to be ready for a demanding worksite.
Our work pants womens range covers a variety of brands that offer reinforcement in all the right places, with other essentials like a comfortable waistband and breathable fabric to keep you cool even on those hot days.
Also, look for utility, with a design that makes it easier to store all the little extras you need throughout the day. For example, pockets are a must-have, and a pen slot means you’ll always have one handy for those quick calculations and measurements.
For shirts, look for a lightweight cotton fabric with cooling vents and visibility, and reinforced stitching to keep it lasting longer.
How should womens workwear fit?
Workwear for women should be comfortable to wear. Look for shirts and pants that are loose enough for movement, but not too baggy that they could become a hazard on the worksite.
Women's work shorts usually sit just above the knee. They’re long enough to give protection, without getting in the way. When full coverage is required, opt for pants instead.
Some designs are unisex, but dedicated workwear in women's styles are made differently. The cut and length account for shape and ease of movement, but quality and strength of the fabric remain the same.
How do you choose womens hi vis workwear?
Wearing high-visibility women's workwear is an important safety measure. These clothes are visible in low-light conditions, on worksites and on busy roads.
When choosing a work shirt, make sure it’s high visibility compliant. In Australia, there are three compliance standards:
- Class Dfor daytime wear
- Class Nfor nighttime wear
- Class D/Nfor day and night wear
We stock shirts that tick all of the boxes with fluoro yellow and orange beauties that can be seen at a distance.
How long should women's work wear last?
There are different factors that can impact the lifespan of women's work clothes. The type of work you do, how often you wear them, and how you wash them all matter.
When it comes to workwear, women’s ranges are made to be durable and will withstand much more than other pieces you’d find in your wardrobe. You can expect your pants, shirts and boots to last at least 6 months with heavy-duty use.
High-vis workwear does require special care, so you need to look after it. Abrasives and chemicals can damage the reflective material — so stick with water and a mild soap to keep it doing its job.
And remember — always read the manufacturer’s washing directions to keep your workwear in good shape.
