Is your team uniform winter-ready?
When it comes to your everyday uniform, the secret to comfort in winter is in layers, especially in Brisbane’s ever-changing weather. Layering keeps the body insulated from the cold but also allows your staff to stay productive and presentable.
Brisbane's subtropical climate poses a unique challenge for tradespeople and business professionals alike—how do you stay comfortable and protected in your uniform while maintaining a professional appearance year-round?
Here's our practical guide to layering your uniform, including our top all-rounder picks.
1. Start with a breathable base layer.
Why it matters
In Brisbane’s warm and humid conditions, performance and moisture-wicking fabrics are essential. Look for cotton and polyester blends. Newer designs also have anti-odour or antimicrobial layers, especially useful for long shifts in the heat.
Layers should start from thinnest to thickest, and tightest to roomiest.

2. Mid-layer Uniform shirt for insulation and versatility
Why it matters
Brisbane winters may be mild, but early mornings can still be chilly - especially for tradies starting before dawn. A versatile mid-layer keeps you warm without overheating once the sun comes up. Softshell vests and lightweight pullovers are versatile options. Depending on your industry and staff’s needs you may need to provide additional layers for optimal warmth and comfort.

3. Outer layer for protection and durability
Why it matters
Brisbane’s weather can turn quickly, with sudden rain storms or windy afternoons. An outer layer protects you from the elements and adds a professional touch to your uniform. Consider hi-vis rain jackets for work sites (mandatory in most cases), waterproof shells for outdoor teams, and branded windbreakers for corporate staff.

4. Top your layered look off with accessories
Why it matters
Custom-branded accessories are a great way to enhance your business’s professional image—especially in front-facing customer roles. Proper footwear and smart accessories complete your uniform and play a key role in safety and comfort. Think steel-cap safety boots for tradies, breathable socks, and beanies for warmth.
