A Focus on Workwear

Taking its inspiration from items originally created to cope with the strains of a heavy, manual workload, the world of workwear has become inextricably entwined with that of streetwear in the modern era and the focus of the designers at its forefront have shifted. No longer restricted to serving purely utilitarian purposes, the majority of workwear produced today is done so with a keen eye on the latest trends and without sacrificing the durability that helped to bridge the gap between utility and style. The reappearance of staple pieces such as chore jackets, denim shirts and cargo trousers has introduced a distinctly practical touch to otherwise relaxed outfits.

One name in this space with a growing reputation is Stan Ray. Founded in Texas, 1972, the brand has continued to go from strength to strength ever since based on the quality of their workwear. Styles that were originally designed by the brand to combat particular problems or needs within the world of manual work have now been almost entirely repurposed by a modern audience with more laid back requirements, while remaining practical for almost any occasion or conditions you can throw at them. Their "80s Painter Pant" and "CPO 2 Pocket Shirt" have proved particularly popular.

Gramicci bring a unique approach to their collection of workwear. Since 1982, the brand has focused on bringing their Californian flair to garments that were originally designed to endure rock climbing and the most physically demanding outdoor activities. While the initial fanbase had a primary focus on performance and utility, the collections were quickly adopted by both skater and surfer subcultures around the region, cementing the brand's position as an emerging name across streetwear and workwear for years to come.

The workwear trend continues to gather pace; valuing functionality and durability alongside the timeless style it presents. Premium materials and the high level of craftsmanship that goes into the production of each garment allows the wearer to enjoy each outfit for years to come while also maintaining environmental consciousness.
