Great news, in person learning is back in vogue for Fall 2021. As educational institutions get back at it, I’m sure most will take a look at their uniforms after they’ve had an 18 month hiatus and realize … well they look a bit shabby! And, let’s face it, everyone wants NEW clothes for their first day back…even if it is a uniform.

You know most people think that uniforms are just for the kids in K – 12 learning, when the reality is all staff should wear uniforms to build their brand. Competition is fierce in education and honestly if staff were outfitted correctly in fashionable styles like these here, everyone would commit to their school, college or university.

And, don’t forget about staff that make an impression on parents when they tour a campus. For example, universities will outfit their orientation staff in a branded polo and chino shorts to provide a first and lasting impression for the students and parents. While they are on campus this same group will eat at one of their cafes so it is critical dining staff’s uniforms say “not only does our food taste great, but we maintain a high level of quality service that includes cleanliness and fashion.”

Education offers a vast opportunity to sell uniform programs. Right now is the best time to contact your education clients to discuss a uniform refresh.
