This is why it uses its know-how to make work tops adapted to different sectors of activity, including the work shirt.

How to choose your work shirt?

The first thing to take into account is always the choice of clothing adapted to the field of activity of the worker. Then come the other equally important elements such as the choice of fabric, buttons and sewing.

You have to make sure that the textile is of very good quality, slightly thick and soft to the touch. Be sure to choose a shirt with a higher cotton content rather than polyester.

As for the buttons, they can be made of natural materials: wood, mother-of-pearl or bamboo. They can also be plastic. The latter is done for purely aesthetic reasons.

In terms of seams, it is advisable to favor shirts with at least 8 stitches per centimeter. These stitches allow the shirt to last longer. Moreover, if the shirt has special seams in the back, you will benefit from great ease of movement. This is one of the essential points in the professional world.

You also have to consider the color of the outfit, as not all shirts are wearable to work. Choose classic or solid colors, such as white, black, blue or gray. The essential checked shirts are part of the workwear outfits to put in your dressing room. Avoid models with very colorful patterns.

For women, choose a model adapted to your morphology. Blåkläder offers shirts with adjustable cuts and long collars to accompany you throughout the week. They can be personalized with the image of a company, which is a real communication medium.

Which material should be highlighted for the work shirt?

The choice of material is essential, because the protection provided by the shirt depends considerably on this element. The most common are:

• Cotton: this natural vegetable material makes the outfit comfortable and pleasant to wear. In addition, cotton has a high absorbency. It is resistant to washing (even at high temperatures), which ensures its durability. This fabric does not charge with static electricity.
• Polyester: this synthetic fiber makes the outfit very resistant to friction, chemical agents and traction. It is appreciated for its good elasticity and its lightness. It is a wrinkle-resistant and easy-care material. It keeps the body warm when the temperature drops. Moreover, it is easy to maintain. Another advantage and not the least: this textile is easy to maintain.

Fabrics are not made for every figure. Other fibers such as poplin or linen are more suitable for a tall body, as they are very breathable. If you are prone to perspiration, shirts made from these materials are your perfect allies.

The different types of work shirts

Work shirts can be short-sleeved or long-sleeved. Your choice is made according to its use.

Long-sleeved models are more suitable for professionals working in a company, as they are more elegant and practical. You can pair it with jeans or work pants for added security.

On the other hand, short-sleeved shirts are rather reserved for all those who wish to adopt a casual style in the context of their work. They provide good ventilation during the summer. On the other hand, it is always possible to roll up the sleeves when it is too hot.

Concerning passes, there is no strict rule. Each professional can choose them according to the desired styles or according to the shape of the face. For a wide face, opt for the point collar. It is the most widespread. If you have a thin face and a lean neck, consider a wider or Windsor collar. There is also the buttoned collar. If you have to accessorize it with a tie, bet on a circle.
