Workwear has always been known for its durability and practicality on-the-job. But for those who prefer to skip the transition from work to post-work activities or simply prefer the comfort of workwear all the time, it also doubles as streetwear.
However, some elements of workwear transition to streetwear better than others. Here are 4 accessories that transition from workwear to streetwear, blending performance with comfort and style:
1. Work Boots
Designed to withstand harsh environments, work boots are as durable as they come. Their robust construction, usually featuring reinforced toes and sturdy soles, makes them ideal for both heavy-duty tasks on-the-job and off. We’re fans of the rugged, practical look that work boots bring to any outfit– in addition to being comfortable.
2. Caps and Beanies
Essential accessories for outdoor work, caps and beanies protect you from the elements while keeping you comfortable. However, after work, these accessories are just as essential, keeping your face shaded from the sun or ears protected from cold temperatures and harsh winds.
3. Utility Pants
Originally designed for their practicality and durability, utility pants offer functionality and style outside of work as well. With multiple pockets and a relaxed fit, they’re both convenient and, dare we say, stylish.
4. Hardwear Belts
Built with everything you need and nothing you don’t, working belts are designed for tough environments without sacrificing on comfort. Its stiff performance stretch allows for bending and movement and locks out to support the weight of heavier apparel and tools, while its ultra durable buckle withstands more pressure than most zinc alloys.
While the workwear belt certainly functions as a tool, its comfortable fit and tapered buckle design provides the support you need any time of day. In fact, many fans of the hard belt say that they choose to wear them off-site as well as on because the stiffer webbing, enhanced grip, and anti-slip buckle mechanism provides the support they're looking for all day long.
While we can’t help you with the first three accessories, we can point you in the direction of our hardware belts, built to increase comfort and free the movement of those that go hard.
