Workwear - statistics & facts
To some, the word workwear might refer to office-appropriate attire or clothing one wears to their workplace, however, in terms of fashion it takes on a whole new meaning. Hailing from clothing once made for manual workers such as carpenters, mechanics, builders and the like, the brands behind the garb now cater to a much different and more fashion-forward audience. With lines often including flannel shirts, robust canvas jackets, and baggy yet durable trousers, brands such as Carhartt, Dickies, and Levi’s just to name a few have made their way onto the streetwear scene, driving interest particularly, but not exclusively amongst young men.
