Where can I buy business wear?
Classic business attire means: men wear a dark suit with a shirt and tie; women wear trouser suits or suits. This formal type of business attire is increasingly being replaced by informal looks, not least due to hybrid and flexible workplaces. Nevertheless, whenever workwear is intended to serve image and prestige purposes, the tried and tested is used. For important appointments, customer meetings, negotiations, in high-profile positions, at the reception desk of a company or a hotel, classic business attire is still often worn today.
The employer often provides business clothing to ensure a uniform look for the team. Business clothing can - traditionally - be purchased, but it can also be rented. The advantage: if a company hires business clothing, it is often possible to purchase laundry care as a service.
If you are looking to buy business clothing, you will find it in local department stores, boutiques or on the internet. Of course, it should be noted that the stationary retail trade often only stocks a limited range of garments, materials or sizes, which sometimes does not cover all requirements. By contrast, the selection on the internet is often (unmanageably) large. The disadvantage: there is no advice on the internet, and the purchase decision is made only on the basis of appearance and price. Unlike leisurewear, however, workwear should fit well and it should be easy to obtain a replacement of the same quality. During a consultation, a lot of useful information can be obtained, which can sometimes save costs.
What is business fashion?
Business attire is a formal and business-like outfit. For men, this by definition means a suit, tie and clean, closed shoes. Business attire for women is a bit more relaxed: ladies can usually play around with their clothing a bit more. Classic business attire for women includes a pantsuit or a skirt suit and, as with men, closed shoes.
In everyday working life, this strict dress code for business attire is often found in an upscale environment, for example in the hotel or restaurant industry, or in financial services such as banks and insurance companies. These are companies that want to convey traditional values and the image of the successful business man or woman through their work attire. However, business fashion has also changed significantly in recent decades with the transformation of the business and working world, and with it the clothing style of employees. Far less strict styling variants such as smart casual, business casual or business attire have emerged and are increasingly common in today's working world.
Business clothing can be bought or rented flexibly. We would be happy to advise you on our range.
Who wears a uniform?
Uniforms are worn by people who want to or need to represent a certain status in their profession. A uniform usually consists of headgear, outerwear, trousers or a skirt, and shoes. The uniform indicates the wearer's function and whether they belong to an association or an organization. Badges or national flags, which are usually attached to the outerwear, support the desired symbolism of the clothing. Wearing a uniform emphasizes the professional role. Many uniforms have less practical function than symbolic and group-building function. For example, the esprit de corps is to be developed and strengthened by wearing a uniform. In contrast, fire protection is a special function of the uniform for fire department uniforms.
Uniforms may be prescribed by the employer, as for example in the public sector, or customary, as for example for pilots. Soldiers, members of auxiliary services and law enforcement officers on foreign assignments are also obliged to wear uniforms under international law.
The term “uniform” is derived from the Latin-French term “uniform”, which describes clothing that is of the same type and visually uniform. In Austria, the term “outfit” is used for this.
What should women wear for business?
In business, women traditionally wear a pantsuit or a skirt suit and closed shoes. Unlike men, however, women have a less strict dress code when it comes to business attire, and they are allowed more variety and leeway. Nevertheless, the outfit should be well-groomed, fit well, and look high-quality and elegant.
However, many women today consider overly formal or delicate business attire to be impractical, given the hybrid forms of work in which people switch between home office, office and co-working spaces.

In some professions, such as the civil service, uniforms are mandatory; in others, they are common and help those wearing them to carry out their duties. International law requires soldiers, members of aid organizations and law enforcement officers on foreign assignments to wear a uniform

Why are there uniforms?
Uniforms exist for many different reasons: Uniforms can have a special protective function, such as in fire departments; they can be worn for hygienic reasons, for example during rescue operations or in hospitals; and they can help the public to immediately recognize that a person belongs to a certain professional group. In some countries, school uniforms for children are also common in order to increase a sense of community.
What all uniforms have in common is their group-building effect. People who wear a uniform feel that they belong to a group. This increases self-confidence and conformity to the supposed values and rules that apply to the uniform wearer. Wearing a uniform brings everyone up to the same level and promotes attitude and motivation for the job.
This also describes an essential and overriding reason for uniforms: By wearing the uniform, the individual is supposed to embody his or her profession or task and place special emphasis on his or her task as a functionary.
