When searching for work clothes, look for durable fabrics like CORDURA, Teflon and ripstop that resist displaying early signs of wear and tear and details like YKK zippers and reinforced knees that'll help the workwear stand the test of time. You can even make spending long days on the job more comfortable by selecting clothing with fabrics enhanced with moisture-wicking and heat-retention technologies. If your job takes you through potentially hazardous conditions, look to flame-resistant work clothes.

Get down to business in styles that are most appropriate for your profession. Button-down shirts and pleated pants combine the durability you need with the professional look you want, so you can seamlessly go from working on the jobsite to conferencing with clients back at the office. For a more casual appearance, check out the T-shirts, jeans and cargo pants that pair well with your work boots, and browse work bibs and coveralls and work jackets and vests that provide an added layer of protection against the environment.

Gear up with baseball caps, beanies, fleece hats, bandanas and gloves that can handle the job and the elements. Hats with earflaps made from soft, knit fabrics will help keep you warm in the winter, while baseball caps made with breathable mesh help your head stay cool in the heat. You can also prevent sweat from getting in your eyes with a bandana that's light and comfortable. Adjustable ties and closures help ensure your hats and gloves fit just right.
