Everyone is environmentally conscious these days—and with good reason! We’ve only got this one planet, so we really need to take care of it. That eco-friendly mindset shouldn’t stop when you go to work. That’s why Sharper Uniforms has a line of ECO Green restaurant uniforms. These uniform shirts and chef uniforms are the perfect blend of style and comfort—and they’re so good for the environment. What makes them so eco-friendly? The ECO Green restaurant uniforms are made with 100% recycled polyester. And to top it all off, they cab easily be recycled again when you’re through with them. That’s something the world can smile about!

Here are some other eco-friendly tips for your business:
• When it’s not being used, turn off the equipment. This can actually reduce energy use by 25%.
• Encourage your employees to communicate via email. This way you won’t be wasting any trees.
• Print double-sided documents whenever possible.
• Be sure not to leave taps dripping. Did you know that if you waste one drop of water per second, that adds up to 10,000 liters per year? That’s 5,000 soda bottles!
• Find a paper supplier that uses as much recycled content as possible.
• Keep an eye out for green products like the ECO Green restaurant uniforms from Sharper Uniforms.

Make Mother Nature happy with your eco-friendly choices!

It’s not wishful thinking anymore! Spring is here, and the weather is finally starting to warm up. With that in mind, we thought it would be appropriate to reintroduce you to some of our great spring and summer uniform options. Ladies, take the time to add some cool comfort to your work wardrobe. It’s easy to do with these great options from Sharper Uniforms.

You can choose any type of our ladies pants, and we will tailor them into capris. How simple is that? When you’re choosing inseam options in our checkout, simply select “Capri Style.” Our capri style pants are hemmed to 21 inches long with a one inch vent on either side. Keep cool and look great while you’re on the job.

We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the wonderful moisture management polo shirts here at Sharper Uniforms. When the weather gets warmer, we all get a little hot—and that can leave you looking not-so-fresh. With a moisture management polo, you’ll look and feel cool thanks to the innovative moisture-wicking technology.

Last but not least, you’ll be able to beat the summer heat with great cargo shorts. These shorts are made with the same quality materials as our pants and capris, so you know that they’ll be able to withstand any job!

Now that spring is here, it’s time to order your warm weather uniforms from Sharper Uniforms!

If you are catering a New Years Eve party or planning a nice celebration for your employees, we have a few New Years Eve party ideas for you. Here at Sharper Uniforms we want you and your staff to look and feel their best in our uniform shirts and trousers—but we recognize that there’s also a time to let loose and party!

You could have a white New Years Eve ball. Make sure all of your party streamers, hats, confetti, and even finger foods have a white theme. Place little snowmen around as decorations. There are so many options when you use snow as the theme for your New Years Eve party.

Choose an era of time to feature—you could go with the 1920s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, or 1980s. The ‘20s were the era of the flapper, the ‘50s offered poodle skirts, the ‘60s were fun for the hippies, the ‘70s had disco, and the ‘80s had huge hair! Celebrate another year while you ring in a new one.

With the tuxedo shirts and jackets here at Sharper Uniforms, it’s quite easy for men to dress up for a formal New Years party. Women would have to get gussied up in some evening gowns.

Most of all… have a great New Year!

Whether you work indoors or outdoors, the New Year is a time to amp up your wardrobe. Here at Sharper Uniforms, we have the new looks for the New Year that you are looking for! If you own any type of business, it’s important to make sure that your staff looks up to date when they are on the job. Your employees are the face of your business, and they need to look and feel their best.

Ladies Café Shirt for Indoor Jobs
The women on your wait staff will look great in the New Year when they wear these gorgeous café shirts. In fact, these are among the most popular shirts for restaurants. So you can rest assured that the women on your staff are entirely up to date and current for the New Year! These light and durable shirts allow for excellent freedom of movement. Available in eleven colors, your staff will love these garments.

Valet Reflective Insulated Jacket for Outdoor Jobs
One of our newest styles to get you and your staff through the cold winter months that come along with the New Year is the Reflective Valet Jacket. The great reflective qualities of this jacket will increase the visibility of your valet staff during dark winter evenings. Safety is as important as style!

The right uniform is a great way to keep your staff looking great and to create a recognizable brand. With the customization options available here at Sharper Uniforms, you can make all that happen. We have some tips to help you choose the right uniforms for your restaurant employees.

-Comfort is key. When it comes to restaurant uniforms, you want to make sure that your employees are comfortable. Ideally, when an employee enjoys what he or she is wearing, they’ll perform their job better.

-The right uniform can help boost morale. When you’re getting new restaurant uniforms, ask for your employees’ input. You probably won’t get everyone to agree, but this is a great way to get all of your employees involved in the process.

-All of the uniforms here at Sharper Uniforms have fabric that is easy to care for. This makes them ideal for the kind of work your staff will be doing. They’ll look clean and crisp no matter what they day holds for them.

-Think about your theme. You want to create something unique, but don’t go overboard. The theme and décor of your restaurant itself plays a role in what you’re doing. You could go with bright colors if that’s appropriate for your business; but there are also plenty of neutral colors to choose from. Your restaurant uniforms should go with the theme of the business, but they shouldn’t go overboard. Try to walk that line between something that matches the décor and what your employees prefer to wear. For example, if your restaurant has a lime green interior, try dressing your staff in a complimentary color instead of matching too much.

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.

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.

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.
