What are the Best Work Trousers?

It's a natural question to ask. The truth is, there is no "perfect pair", at least in the universal sense. There are, however, perfect work trousers for each person.

For example, you might go for some cargo work trousers because you work in construction, and need plenty of pockets for tools and knee pads.

You might be a farmer or work in agriculture, so waterproof trousers are usually the obvious choice to get reliable protection against wet weather. You also might have a reliable pair of work jeans to see you through those days when it's finally stopped raining.

Or if you're in a warehouse, joggers might be allowed as part of your workwear, so you go for these for maximum flexibility and freedom of movement, particularly as you tend to be quite active throughout your shift. 

It's all about what works best for your job site.


What Footwear to Wear with Workwear Trousers

The good news is that most of our work trousers match most of our work boots.

Cargo trousers are versatile and usually have a looser fit, so they pair well with chunkier, heavy-duty boots like steel-toe or composite-toe boots. Same with jeans or joggers. For slim fitting trousers, lighter and more streamlined footwear like safety trainers works best. These trousers have a more fitted silhouette, so bulkier footwear can throw off the balance.

Of course, waterproof work trousers should be worn with waterproof work boots or wellies. No point in keeping your legs dry if your feet are going to end up soaking wet!

You can also easily pair all of our workwear trouser range with any of the work shirts: polo shirts, t-shirts, fleece-lined shirts - you name it.


Fit and Sizing Tips for Mens and Womens Work Trousers

Start by measuring your waist size and leg length accurately. If you’re between sizes, it’s usually better to size up slightly for a bit of extra room.

Elasticated waists make certain types of trousers a bit easier to fit, as do adjustable cuffs. So take a look at the features for each pair to take these into consideration.

Whether you'll be working around machinery matters too. If you operate a forklift, for example, you can't have too baggy clothes in case the fabric gets caught. If you want to have a standard pair of work trousers then some waterproof overtrousers, the first pair should probably fit a little more slim fitting so you can comfortably get the overtrousers on.


How to Care for Your Work Trousers

The trousers you wear for work will likely need washing more often than your everyday weekend jeans, particularly if you work an active, physical job. So it's always worth having a few pairs in rotation throughout the week.

When it comes to washing, first check the care label for specific washing instructions, particularly if they are waterproof trousers.

Generally, it's usually best to wash them in cold water to prevent shrinking or fading, especially if they’re made from cotton or a blend. Avoid overloading the washing machine, as too much friction can wear down the fabric. For stains, spot clean them before washing.

Drying them on a low heat setting or hanging them to air dry is ideal, as high heat can damage the fabric and weaken any elasticated parts.
