Workwear Trousers
Choosing a new pair of work trousers can be tough.
With such a large selection of workwear available to buy online, we’ve created this useful guide to help you find the perfect pair of work trousers that meet all of your requirements and best suit your needs.
Budget
The first thing to decide is how much you want to spend on a new pair of trousers.
You probably have a price range in mind but remember that cheap work trousers may not be as suitable as a good pair of premium, branded work trousers.
Better quality materials, craftsmanship and specialist functionality will usually cost a little extra but it can be more economical if they last the test of time.
Trade Specific Requirements
Does your workwear need to meet specific rules or regulations?
Do you need high visibility trousers, flame retardant workwear, cut protection or perhaps even an ID-card holder?
If your work is general then most types of durable work trousers should be suitable.
If you work in areas such as; joinery, building & construction, highways or rail maintenance etc then you could require trade specific clothing.
Different levels of protection, safety, visibility etc are required under EU legislation.
Our work trousers display the relevant EN specification symbols, which explain the personal protective level given to each item.

Things to Consider
There are additional things that you should consider before you choose a new pair of trousers for work.
We have compiled a list of popular requirements to bear in mind when buying work clothes and to help you select the perfect pair of work trousers.
Convenience– Look for multi pocket trousers with tool pockets + additional pockets, trousers with holster pockets, mobile phone pockets, loops, tool holders etc like combat pants or cargo trousers.
Added protection - Trousers with knee pads or reinforced areas like knees, rear or seams can be essential for joiners, carpet fitters, site workers etc
Climate– Do you need lightweight or heavyweight trousers, breathable work trousers for hot weather work in summer or thermal cold weather trousers for winter work. If you work outdoors then waterproof trousers or windproof trousers may be the answer.
Size and Fitting - Baggy, standard or tight fit, using with or without a belt or elasticated waist?
Flexibility in areas such as crotch or waist can allow extra freedom of movement.
Stretchable trousers or pre-bent knees can assist with bending, kneeling or crouching - these are all important considerations to keep you comfortable.
Different workwear brands may be slightly different in sizing, check out our handy workwear size guide here:

Specialist work trousers – Do you need trousers with specific requirements, designed for different professions; cut protection trousers, welder's pants, flame retardant, heat retardant, mechanics trousers, waterproof, thermal, chef's trousers, or hi-vis trousers in bright colours.
