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!
