How to Choose the Right Size and Fit for Your Workwear

How to Choose the Right Size and Fit for Your Workwear

Jay Griffin |

When it comes to workwear, finding the right size and fit is essential for both comfort and safety. Ill-fitting workwear can restrict movement, reduce effectiveness, and lead to discomfort throughout the day. Here’s a quick guide to help you select the perfect fit, along with tips on where to find detailed sizing information for our FL Workwear products.

1. Why Size and Fit Matter


Comfort: Properly fitted workwear allows for better movement and flexibility, especially for physically demanding jobs. It prevents chafing, pinching, or any discomfort that comes from clothes that are too tight or too loose.


Safety: In industries where safety is a priority, loose clothing can be hazardous, while overly tight gear may restrict movement. Always consider your specific work environment when choosing the fit.


Durability: Correctly fitted clothing not only looks better but lasts longer. Ill-fitting garments are more prone to wear and tear, particularly in high-stress areas like seams or knees.


2. Understanding Workwear Sizing


Workwear sizing can vary across brands, and here at FL Workwear we are no exception. Here’s what to look for:

Measure Yourself: Before choosing any gear, measure your chest, waist, hips, and inseam. Compare these measurements to the sizing chart provided on each product page.


Check the Fit: Workwear usually comes in regular, relaxed, or slim fits. Consider your job’s physical demands when selecting a fit. Relaxed fits offer more room for movement, while slim fits are ideal for less physically demanding roles.


3. Where to Find Sizing Information on our site


We provide detailed sizing charts and fit guides on our website for each product. To ensure you get the right size:

Product Page Sizing Guides: On each product page, you’ll find a comprehensive sizing chart specific to that item. This will help you match your measurements to the available sizes.


Fit Descriptions: Many FL Workwear products include a fit description (e.g., regular, relaxed), so you can see how it’s meant to fit based on your work needs.

Customer Reviews: Don’t forget to check our customer reviews for insights into how the product fits in real life. Many reviewers mention if the sizing runs large, small, or true to size.


4. Tips for Finding the Perfect Fit


Allow Room for Layers: If your job requires layering for warmth, consider going up a size to ensure comfort without restricting movement.


Test for Mobility: Make sure you have full mobility when wearing your workwear. Try out typical movements like bending, squatting, or lifting to ensure the gear moves with you.

Choosing the right size and fit for your workwear is crucial for performance and comfort. Be sure to check our product pages for detailed sizing charts, fit descriptions, and customer reviews to make the best choice. With the right measurements and some consideration of your job’s demands, you’ll be ready to tackle any task with ease and comfort.
