Edwards Garment is Ready to Dress Your Team in Fashion-Forward Styles

From tradeshows to the concierge desk, team uniforms help play an important role in showcasing your brand identity. Long gone are the days of everyone wearing the same oversized polos; team uniforms have evolved to adopt more retail-inspired looks for the modern employee. Speaking of team uniforms, Facilisgroup just got a batch of new team apparel for upcoming tradeshows and events, fulfilled by top supplier Edwards Garment. We spoke with Brian Deissroth, Director of National Accounts for Edwards Garment, to give us a rundown on what went into picking these pieces and some dos and don’ts of selecting the right team attire. Plus, check out the sleek team apparel they provided us above.

The Folio: Why is it important to have the right team uniforms?

Brian Deissroth, MBA, Director of National Accounts, Edwards Garment: Crafting a team uniform is vital; you want the wearer to not only be comfortable with the work they are doing, but you also want the garment to stand up to the demands of the job. Think about what your team’s uniform needs are. Do they move around a lot – then look for a uniform that focuses on ergonomics. Are they in an environment like a kitchen where grease and food get on the apparel continually? Then focus on styles that have outstanding features like moisture-wicking and soil-release properties. The look is important, but function and comfort are key.

The Folio: What goes into crafting the right team uniforms?

Brian Deissroth: In addition to having apparel that functions and is comfortable for the wearer like previously mentioned, think branding as well. Uniforms give off a cohesive look for your employees. Think of how hard it would be to know who works at a retail location if their employees weren’t in brand-focused apparel!  Branding, function, performance, fit, comfort – these are all important reasons to choose the right uniform for your team.

The Folio: Tell us what went into your recent collaboration with Facilisgroup’s team uniforms.

Brian Deissroth: Our recent collaboration efforts with Facilisgroup focused on several key factors. We wanted the Facilisgroup team to wear uniform pieces that were fashion-forward, sustainable, retail-inspired, professional, functional, and comfortable all at the same time. These factors help provide Facilisgroup with a cohesive look while providing the team with functional and comfortable garments!

The Folio: What are some of the dos and don’ts of selecting the right team uniforms?

Brian Deissroth: Don’t think one-dimensionally. Focus on all the elements of selecting the right team uniform not just one. For example, price point. Pricing is important, but if you focus just on pricing, you will be giving up performance, comfort, and other features that are vital to selecting the right uniform or apparel program. Also, make sure your apparel options are on trend. Apparel trends change quickly, and you want to partner with a supplier who keeps the ever-changing trends in fashion and retail top-of-mind, so your team looks their best and is not known for being in outdated uniforms.
