We Wear White after Labor Day

Wear white with Service Uniform

We’ve all heard the rule “no white after Labor Day”, but does anyone follow it? At Service Uniform, we did a little research to try and figure out where this fashion rule came from.

Here are two theories:

Theory 1: Rich people wore white.
There are a lot of theories that go back to the late 1800s. Tensions were high after the Civil War and many rich families tried to show off their wealth through their extravagant clothing. It’s rumored that groups of well-off women would come up with fashion rules to tell the wealthy from the “imposters”.

Theory 2: White has always been summer fashion.
Everyone knows that white clothing reflects the summer sun better than dark clothing. Some people think that the fashion rule came from people naturally shedding their light colored clothing in the fall for darker shades. Sounds simple enough.

Whatever the reason, we think that fashion rules can be broken if it’s necessary for your company. At Service Uniform, we understand that your company is different from the rest. That’s why we’re determined to create the right image for your company. So whether that image includes red, navy, or even white, give us a call and we’ll put together the right uniform rental plan for you.

That First Day of School Feeling

/in , , /by

It may have been a while, but do you remember the first day of school as a kid? After a long summer of running around bare foot in shorts and a tank top, mom and dad would take everyone shopping for a new wardrobe. Although new clothes weren’t nearly as fun to show off like the scrapes and scars from your summer activities, new clothes transformed you from a wild child into a proud student.

Vintage Nurse
This uniform dates back to either the 1930s or the 1950s. The long, fluffy skirt mirrors the fashion trends for that time. Women wore long skirts to cover their legs and the shape of the skirt was meant to make the waist look thinner. Oh, and don’t forget about the puffy sleeves! Shoulder pads and full sleeves were meant to give the illusion of broad shoulders. They were really popular for petite women or those with sloping shoulders.

Airline Flight Attendant
Worn somewhere between 1930 and 1932, this uniform was worn with a cape that went down to the back of attendant’s legs. Made of wool and synthetic fabric, this uniform was very heavy and not very popular among employees. Could you image wearing this uniform on a hot, summer day? And how many customers do you think got a bit cape in their face?

Mechanic
Some things just never go out of style. These vintage coveralls are not very different from what we wear today. These coveralls were popular for the “cigarette” pocket on the front. Styles today are similar, but without the fancy stripes.
