Cutting-Edge Corporate Clothing by XCO Group

 

The midwinter season and its bitingly cold temperatures are upon us again in the sub-Saharan part of Africa, specifically in South Africa’s inland areas and the Western Cape region. Your personnel are undoubtedly dressing for workdays in their warmest possible winter woollies and, wherever possible, thermal undergarments too.

 

All these efforts are directed towards achieving one goal – insulating their bodies from the cold and remaining sufficiently warm and comfortable to enable them to focus on work, rather than attempt to keep warm by escaping bitterly cold temperatures.

 

So far, the winter of 2021 has produced exceptionally cold weather. It’s difficult enough to get out of a warm bed to go to work when it’s freezing outside and more so if one’s corporate kit isn’t weather-appropriate.

 

 

With multiple cold fronts on the loose, daytime temperatures bring little real relief from the cold. In fact, weather stations warn the public to anticipate sub-zero overnight temperatures of up to -50C and lower in various parts of the country.   

 

Inevitably, this begs the question – does your company’s preferred corporate clothing dress code include warm attire, as well as typical winter accessories that are designed to help corporate clothing wearers keep out the cold?

 

Selecting Corporate Clothing

 

Perhaps you’re guilty of an unintended oopsie, an omission in this regard. Admittedly, it’s not easy or particularly top of mind to select and include winter clothing if one is assembling a range of corporate clothing at the beginning of the year, during the balmy heat of a sunny South African summer.

 

Warm winter woollies are most probably the last thing on anyone’s mind when it is hot. Just the mere thought of winter clothing is downright off-putting. Nonetheless, winter follows summer, season after season, year in and year out. As such, some winter garments should be included.

 

Layering and Options to Mix and Match

 

There’s a lesson in this for all corporate entities and organisations which have a corporate clothing dress code or uniform that they expect their employees to wear. Ideally, management should select corporate wear that offers their well-dressed personnel the opportunity to mix and match their corporate wardrobes for both winter and summer wear. Layering garments is not only fashionable, but it also works well and offers a practical seasonal solution.
