Sharper Uniform Blog

You don’t have to be buying uniforms for your entire staff to appreciate some of the garments here at Sharper Uniforms. We have things that can be a staple in just about anybody’s wardrobe— from outdoor laborers to business executives. Our Roll-Up Long Sleeve Blouse makes an excellent addition to any woman’s wardrobe. Perfect for offices where business attire is appropriate, you’ll be glad you have a blouse that’s as comfortable as this one.

What’s so great about this blouse? Well, it’s got a beautifully feminine open neckline, and it’s made of soft combed cotton oxford. Our favorite part about the garment, though, is the fact that it can be worn either long or short sleeved. The sleeves have button closures that allow you to roll them up and still look chic and put-together. It’s perfect for the office— especially as the temperature fluctuates. If it’s a warm day outside, you can be sure that the air conditioning will be on in the building. Keep the sleeves rolled down when you’re indoors so you can stay warm. When you leave for the day, roll them up! It’s such a versatile garment.

Chefs don’t always get a lot of face-time with customers, but it’s still important that they look and feel their best when they’re on the job. Fortunately, SharperUniforms.com carries a great line of chef coats.

Cool Vent Chef Coats are made of comfortable moisture wicking material. They also feature a ventilation system that will keep a chef cool no matter how hot it gets in the kitchen. So don’t worry, the adage “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!” won’t apply to any of your chefs as long as they’re in these great chef coats.

Cotton Chef Coats are the next coolest coat. (We don’t mean cool like the Fonz from Happy Days— we mean cool as in comfortable.) Ours are made of either Egyptian cotton or cotton twill. You can’t go wrong!

Poly-Cotton Chef Coats are extremely durable. They’re perfect for line cooks or anyone else that might be a little rough on their uniform. Food stains are removed easily, so these coats are totally worth it.

Ladies Chef Coats… because how could we forget the ladies? These come in either the cotton or cotton-poly blend. They’re cut specifically for women, so your female chefs will feel fabulous.

Green Recycled Chef Apparel uses 20% post-consumer waste. That means your chefs will be helping out the environment when they wear these uniforms. They look and feel as great as our other chef coats, but they’re a little friendlier to Mother Earth.

Whatever you need for your chefs, you’ll find it at SharperUniforms.com!

Last time we talked a little bit about what it means for an employee to wear a uniform. Well, the benefits don’t end there. In fact, uniforms are just as important to the business owner or manager as they are to the employees. While employees find themselves with a renewed sense of teamwork, business owners get something out of it, too.

-As a business owner, you want your customers to have a pleasant experience at your establishment. There’s no way around it, customers are going to notice how your staff looks. With the right uniforms, you can ensure that your staff members always look their best. Sharper Uniforms has everything from maintenance suits to tuxedos, so that your staff will look appropriate all the time.

-Part of a successful business is having accessible employees. If your customers have a question and they can’t find someone to answer it, they just might walk out. Make sure your employees stand out with a great uniform.

-As your customers begin associating the uniform with your place of business, you’ll start having some brand recognition.
“Let’s go to that family restaurant down on Main Street.”
“Which one?”
“You know, the one with the servers in those cool red shirts!”
And with embroidery and heat seal technology, you can get your business logo put right on those “cool red shirts.”

For some people out there, the word “uniform” might bring up some unpleasant memories. These are probably the same people that had to wear uncomfortable school uniforms. We may be a uniform business, but we can totally understand why a teenager wouldn’t want to wear the same thing to school everyday! But the working world is a completely different story. Uniforms play several important roles in establishing an employee’s identity as part of the team.

-The main purpose of a uniform is so that customers can easily identify the employees. If one of your customers has a question, they want to be able to find the right people to ask! Uniforms definitely help with that. Wearing a uniform just makes it easier for the employee to do his or her job.

-Uniforms also take some of the thought out of getting ready in the morning. Just make sure your uniform is clean, throw it on, and go to work!

-Whatever the job is, wearing a uniform can help instill a sense of responsibility in all your employees. Employees that consistently adhere to the dress code will generally take pride in the work that they do.

-All of the uniforms at SharperUniforms.com are comfortable— so they make working a breeze!

We’ve been talking a lot about summertime lately. And with good reason! Around here, it’s going to be about 90 degrees this weekend. It’s got us all thinking about how to keep ourselves cool. Lucky for a lot of us, we can just jump in the pool to get some relief on hot days. But what about your staff? They can’t just stop doing their job. The next best thing is a Moisture Management Polo.

We’ve talked about these before, but they’re totally worth mentioning again. (Because, really, were you thinking about hot weather back in February?) Like we said then, these moisture management polos are on the cutting edge of clothing technology. And now that the weather is hot enough, you’ll really appreciate the science behind these things. They’re treated with the AP-360+ Fabric Shield. That means they actually block bacteria from causing odors in the garment. Your staff will probably be working up a sweat in the months to come, but these shirts will keep any of your customers from noticing that.

The technology behind the moisture management polos still blows us away. They literally act as a natural deodorant. (That doesn’t mean your staff can stop wearing their regular deodorant, though!) The fabric shield is actually made from crustacean shells, so it’s a nice green resource that isn’t going to hurt the environment.

A cool staff is a happy staff— and the moisture management polo shirts literally keep moisture off the skin. And that keeps everyone way cool.

Whatever your business, SharperUniforms.com has the right apron for the job. From our simple No Pocket Waist Apron to our Bib Aprons with Pockets, we have all the aprons you could possibly need. With the 4th of July coming quickly upon us, we thought it might be a good idea to highlight some of our fabulous American-made aprons!

American Flag Aprons
We couldn’t get away without mentioning these! This adorable three pocket waist apron has a patriotic American flag pattern on the pockets. What better way to have your wait staff celebrate Independence Day? All of your customers will feel the American pride with these great aprons. You can also get the American flag pattern on a three pocket bib apron. That’s just one more reason to let your staff show their true colors!

Bistro Aprons
It seems like bistros are all the rage these days, and Americans will be spending a lot of their summer hanging out getting some paninis and frappuccinos! You need to make sure your bistro staff is dressed for the occasion. Fortunately, our bistro aprons come in all shapes, sizes, and colors (fifteen colors, to be exact). So you’re sure to find the right color for your business!

Let your staff know that they’re important by outfitting them in the highest-quality aprons. Shop through the selection of aprons at SharperUniforms.com!

As summer is heading into full swing, the weather is really starting to heat up. It’s important to make sure that your staff still looks polished and professional as the mercury rises. Fortunately for the ladies, they have some options out there that allow them to show a little bit of leg in the summertime. (Don’t worry, we’re not telling you to wear Daisy Dukes!)

Flat Front Short
These comfortable microfiber shorts are ideal for women to wear to work in the summer months. They’ve got all the features of our classic pants, but they show a perfectly modest amount of leg. You don’t have to worry about your female staff complaining about being too warm. These breezy shorts are equipped with Moisture Wicking technology that draws moisture away from the skin. Everyone will be cool, dry, and comfortable in these stylish shorts.

Capri Pants
If your business requires your female staff to look a little bit more formal, then you’re in luck. Any of our pants can be tailored into a Capri pant! Just choose the pants that you’d like and select the “Capri Style” inseam. A Capri length is very flattering on women. They’re comfortable, and they add just enough summer flair to any uniform.

Everyone here at SharperUniforms.com wants your staff to look their best. One of the best ways to keep everyone looking like part of a team is with a logo on their uniform shirt. Having a logo also helps customers find your staff. If they make a mental association with a logo, they’ll have an easier time identifying the potential of your company and its services. We have two great options for getting your name out there!

Embroidery
We have a full range of embroidery and logo creation services, so you’ll certainly be able to find the option that works for you. You can choose up to three lines of embroidery text in several different fonts. If you have a logo design, SharperUniforms.com can create the embroidery for you! All you have to do is send us an electronic copy of the logo. You can get more details about this convenient service on our Embroidery Details page.

Heat Seal
Another great option for putting logos on uniforms is the use of heat seal technology. These heat applied transfers are made of non-fading, non-peeling, non-cracking material. When you use the heat seal logo application, you have a bit more freedom as to where the logo can be applied. You can put a logo on shirt collars, cuffs, pockets, and plackets. You can be a little freer with this kind of logo application, also. Your color selection is larger, and you can use some finer details. Learn more on our Heat Seal page.

If you’ve ever spent an extended period of time in a long sleeve blouse, you know how annoying those cuffs can be. Especially if you’re doing any kind of work with your hands. That’s why we have these Ultimate Ladies’ ¾ Sleeve Blouses. Here at SharperUniforms.com we understand what women are looking for in a work blouse, and we do our best to supply it! Ladies are rolling up their sleeves at work anyway, so these ¾ sleeve blouses are absolutely ideal. The shirt stays tidy, and your hands stay free!

When you’re putting in a long day at work, you want to make sure you stay looking your best from the moment you punch in to the moment you punch out. With some boxy men’s-style work shirts, you can end up looking wrinkled and sloppy before lunchtime. But when you’re wearing one of these blouses, you can rest assured that your shirt will stay neat all day. What makes it so special? This blouse has back darts that give you a sleek, polished look. The fabric stretches, so it moves with you as you go about your day. We think the best part, though, is the fact that it’s guaranteed to stay tucked in. You don’t have to worry about it anymore!
