Choosing The Right Work Trousers

When it comes to work trousers, these are often one of the most crucial parts of workwear to get right. Poor material and they will tear easily and won't last very long. Too tight? Difficult to carry out the job, too loose? You may risk getting the trousers caught in dangerous machinery.

Therefore, making sure you buy the correct size, the suitable material and the style that suits your job is crucial.

This blog hopes to shed light on some of the considerations needed for buying a new pair of work trousers.

The Fit

As mentioned in our last article about choosing the proper safety boots, having the correct fit should be one of, if not the primary consideration. Too tight and you won't have freedom of movement; too loose and you risk the clothing being caught in machinery.

So you need to measure yourself before purchasing so you buy the correct size.

Work Requirements

Depending on the job you do and your environment, you may be required to wear specific colours as part of a brand uniform. 

In this sense, the company may provide workwear for you or give you an allowance to purchase the uniform you need.

So before you start shopping, it's worth finding this information out and then going from there.

Price

We would suggest focusing on quality over cost when it comes to price. If you purchase a pair of trousers for £10-£20, then the item's quality has to be questioned. Furthermore, once you buy the trousers, they may only last weeks or months before you have to buy a brand new pair.

However, you could spend a little more and invest in quality with the confidence and assurance that the trousers may last you for the next 3-5 years depending on the material, the brand and other factors.

Protection

Similar to boots, having added protection could benefit you in the long run. Work trousers that we stock often have added benefits such as being made from ripstop material that is reinforced fabric, made for outdoor conditions. Not only that, but some trousers are also flame retardant adding extra safety for workers in maintenance work and other industries.
