Determine waist fit and length
Measure using the points in the relevant size chart and check whether it gives body or garment measurements. Check the waistband while sitting and the leg length with your usual footwear. Going up an overall size is not a targeted substitute for a different length or cut.
Choose pockets to suit their contents
List which items you are actually permitted and expected to carry. Compare pocket size, fastening and position; the contents should not cause unnecessary discomfort while sitting or walking. Workplace rules on carrying items or cleaning take priority.
Care and combinations
Match trousers and top as a combination and check that they overlap properly during movement. Follow the care label and your organisation's requirements for washing and drying. Material or colour alone does not establish hygienic suitability.
Suitable tops and alternatives: Workwear for Medical & Care, Work coats and Workwear.
