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!

With summer coming quickly upon us, it’s time to think about getting your country club staff ready for the season.

We’ve got something here to suit every type of dining establishment— from formal to informal. With the right kind of uniform, you’ll ensure that your guests remember their day at your country club!

Uniforms have been around for centuries.  They tell people what the wearer does for a living.  There’s the old question, “Why does the fireman wear red suspenders?”  Well, firemen were traditionally uniformed in red suspenders as a way to indicate what they did.  Red represented fire, and they wore the red suspenders when they put it out.  Similarly, sporting referees wear those striped shirts for a reason.  Think about it— how many boxing referees got punched in the face before they realized that they should probably wear something that made them stand out from the crowd?

That’s the kind of thing you need to think about when you’re selecting uniforms for you staff.  What they’re wearing is going to tell your customers what they do.  People have intrinsic mental associations with colors.

Here are a few colors to think about:

• Red:  People associate this color with strength and health.
• Orange:  This color tells people that the person wearing it is adaptable and kind.
• Yellow:  Staff dressed in yellow will sent the message that they are knowledgeable and confident.
• Green:  This color signifies luck and ambition.
• Blue:  People associate blue with tranquility, devotion, and wisdom.
• Purple:  Purple represents power, imagination, and creativity, but it also gives off a negative vibe.
• Gray:  Staff dressed in gray will seem balanced and neutral.
• Brown:  This color makes people think of the familiar and comfortable.

Summer weather and warmer temperatures are here and it’s time that you adjust the uniforms for your staff to accommodate the change of season. With summer ushering in new weather, it’s important that your staff feels cool and comfortable.

Luckily, at ShaperUniforms.com, we carry new lightweight jackets that are perfect for being worn by a valet, doorman, or even the maintenance crew. These jackets, along with other finds from our outerwear selection are perfect for keeping you warm and safe from the elements when a cool summer rainstorm breezes through or just for when you need some extra protection from the wind. Plus, everyone knows that there are chilly days as spring transitions into summer and summer transitions into autumn.

Even though summer and warm temperatures are here, coastal cities with businesses on the shoreline or even country clubs that encounter cool mornings suggest that staff wear light jackets throughout the summer to protect from the windy and sometimes cooler temperatures.
