Back to the 80s: where standing out was the norm  

The 80s were a celebration of bright colours, bold fashion and unforgettable personalities. MTV brought music and style into our living rooms, with stars like Madonna and Michael Jackson setting the tone. Neon was the colour of the moment - from sports outfits to streetwear, these vibrant hues were everywhere. Everyone wanted to stand out and make a statement with those bright colours. And although fashion has changed a lot since then, neon is still alive and kicking. Indeed, it is making a smashing comeback, not only in fashion, but also in practical applications such as workwear! 

From fashion icons to the essence of safe working 

What started as a bold fashion statement in the 1980s, neon found a much more practical application. After all, neon is not only fun to look at, it also plays an essential role in the world of safety. Neon colours - with their high visual impact - have become crucial in sectors where visibility is vital. Think of construction workers, road workers and other professions where people often work in dark or dangerous environments. Here, neon is not just a colour choice, it is a necessity. The bright colours make people highly visible from a distance, which can prevent accidents.

Neon clothing for maximum safety

At CWS Workwear, we understand how important visibility is in the workplace. That is why we supply and maintain workwear with high visibility (neon) stripes. These reflective and brightly coloured accents ensure that our customers can not only work comfortably, but are also safe in dangerous conditions. Our collections are designed with attention to detail: durable fabrics, reflective materials and optimal fit ensure that workers can focus on their work while their safety is guaranteed. We combine the iconic neon look with the latest safety standards, making workwear both functional and stylish. 

Safety with a colourful twist

When designing our clothes, we combine the best of both worlds: safety and style. Neon accents, such as the reflective stripes on our workwear, ensure maximum visibility at dusk and dark. But besides safety, these accents also add a unique visual element to the workplace. Workwear does not have to be boring - it can be an expression of team spirit and even an extension of corporate identity. Neon colours not only bring protection, but also a fresh, modern look that stands out, just as it was intended to do in the 1980s.
