The best workwear clothing for builders

The importance of quality workwear for builders

When it comes to builders’ workwear, it needs to fulfil several functions.

1. It needs to be functional, allowing you the freedom of movement to work in comfort.
2. It needs to be durable; able to withstand a few scrapes and knocks here and there.
3. It needs to be practical, being fit for purpose while allowing you to look the part.

Where possible, as with buying tools, we recommend buying the best quality you can afford. Buying a selection of top-quality workwear items that will last is more economical than buying cheaper items that are likely to wear out and need replacing much more quickly.

Our partners at Workwear Giant have helped us create this article on the best workwear for builders, so whether you’re on or offsite, we’ve got you covered.
