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.
