Fundamentally, corporate clothing, like the ranges of fine workwear, which are manufactured by Barron and supplied to business entities by Pretoria’s Best Clothing and Gifts, is often also referred to as a uniform. This begs the question: Are uniforms and corporate clothing one and the same thing, or is there a difference? After all, both types of garments are worn by people when they go to their place of work, where they perform the duties and tasks that are assigned to them by their employer. Is there really a difference between the two, or is it just a matter of semantics? In all likelihood, it’s probably a combination of both factors.
Uniforms vs Corporate Clothing
It is true that both terms are often adopted and used interchangeably, but strictly speaking, there was/is a subtle difference. Here we look at some differences and similarities:
- Both a uniform and a corporate outfit are issued to employees by their employer, with the proviso and expectation that each is worn while the former is on duty, at work
- In South Africa, in Pretoria and elsewhere, uniforms definitely refer to school wear, the outfits worn by organisations like the boy scouts, and the members of formal official bodies, such as the South African Police Service, all branches of the country’s military forces, security guards and allied security services, firemen and women, paramedics, and nurses.
- Uniforms within most of the organisations mentioned above are formal, without permitting the wearers an option to vary or personalise their attire from the proscribed norm.
- Corporate wear refers to the attire worn at work in a business environment.
- The degree of corporate garment formality may vary, depending on the working environment or the occasion.
- Both types of garments may well be known as uniforms, but a uniform, per se, is not necessarily regarded as corporate clothing.
