I Love To Wear My Workwear Now

I have worked in an MNC in Melbourne, Australia for the past year. When I started working I was in total awe of the MNC culture, from their ethics to their uniforms. With time, the initial excitement faded reality sunk in. The work load increased and so did the expectations of my seniors. Then came a time when I literally started looking for reasons to go to my office. After a lot of deep thought and chit-chat with fellow colleagues, I came to realise that the majority of tmy peers felt the same!

It was then that we all started seriously thinking about what change could be done to make the office environment more interesting. We realised that neither the quantum of work nor the bosses could be changed - the only thing we could change was our workwear. Upon this realization, we had a round of discussions with our bosses. The outcome of those discussions was giving me the responsibility of thinking about what changes could be made to our uniform. Lucky me!

I came across a Fashion Designer who himself gave me the reference of The Uniform Super Store, an online portal that deals with corporate uniforms in Sydney and the whole of Australia. One look and I was immediately impressed! Their catalogue had the best designs and patterns that I have ever seen as part of a workwear collection. Instead of the usual bowties, scarves and black-and-white combinations of formal attire, they had patterns in embroidery, graphically printed shirts and a bright combination of uniforms.

The Uniform Super Store had something for every field of work. I saw the most amazing collection of chef uniforms, corporate uniforms for women, hospitality uniforms, Salon uniforms for Australia and corporate uniforms used in Sydney. Their association with the best brands in fabric was clearly visible. I knew the Uniform Super Store was equipped with the best range of uniforms to accommodate the changes that I needed in my office. Not only did they have the best range of uniforms I had seen, they also offer a 24 hr helpline. This was a fantastic service as it gave my boss the opportunity to contact them directly if any queries arose regarding my choice of uniform. It also gives the added reassurance that you can always speak to an expert team member regarding any queries you have wherever you are at anytime.

I then showed the online store portal to my boss, needless to say he was instantly impressed! After discussing the issue in the next board meeting, it was decided that our boring workwear would be replaced by the vivacious attire from a collection of The Uniform Super Store. So now, our uniforms have embroidery on them on Monday and Tuesday, a vibrant color combination on Wednesday and Thursday, and an informal message printed t-shirt and jeans on casual Fridays!
