Many of our styles are unisex fit, however certain styles require a fit that is more tailored to women’s shapes to allow them to not only feel comfortable, but know that they look good too.
What workwear options do you offer female tradespeople?
Is there a demand for womenswear in the workwear market?
Ladies Pro Polo is our most popular option for women – it’s available from XS-4XL and we are adding new colours for 2021. The RX105F Ladies Pro Polyester Polo is fashioned from a piqué knit, enhancing quality and durability and is made in a feminine and modern fit. Our third most popular option is the quality RX500F Ladies Pro 2 Layer Softshell Jacket ideal for keeping warm outdoors while creating a smart and professional uniform look.
AWe are always looking for ways to improve our product offering and this includes women’s fit. Each year we review trends and feedback in order to consider expanding our offering in any areas where there is demand for a certain style or fit. We are launching three new colours in the RX101F Ladies Pro Polo in 2021 and this was as a direct result of feedback from our PRO RTX customers.
