Not Just Fit for Purpose, but Fit With Purpose

Ladies, rejoice! Gone are the days of being swamped in a men’s size ‘Small’.

We are excited to introduce to you a revolutionary range of female workwear: Mascot Accelerate for Women.  The result of a comprehensive study on women’s figures and clothing fits, this range also provides two custom female fits: pearl and diamond.

Read on to find out more about the importance of female-specific workwear and how the Mascot Accelerate for Women range is transforming the workwear landscape.

 

 

The Importance of Female Workwear

 

Historically, industrial workplaces have typically been dominated by a male workforce and this trend has been reflected in workwear. Although a lot of the industrial workwear is unisex, it has tended to be tailored more towards men’s bodies than women’s. As women’s and men’s bodies are shaped differently, so should their workwear be.

 

The Need for a Female Fit

 

Many women have been faced with the prospect that there are only men’s sizes available in their corporate workwear. For these women their only choice may be to wear a men’s size Small, only to be swamped by baggy polo shirts or drown in extra-long trousers.

Men’s workwear sizes are even more problematic for any women who are petite in height but curvy in frame. These women may have to choose a larger men’s size for their curves, leaving them with garments that are even longer in length. They may have no other option than to wait to have their garments professionally altered.

 

 

Not Just Fit for Purpose, but Fit with Purpose

 

We believe it is vital that everyone feels comfortable in the workplace and this starts with your workwear. If you are wearing ill-fitting garments that restrict your freedom of movement, you may not merely feel uncomfortable, but your workwear may be actually hindering you from efficiently completing your daily tasks.

 

Looking the Part Means Feeling the Part

 

As many companies push for greater Diversity & Inclusion in the workplace, we believe it is paramount that every organisation considers the importance of female-specific workwear.

If a female worker’s only option is to wear ill-fitting workwear sizes, they may feel that their organisation is not catering to their specific needs.

 

 

Corporate workwear is intended to exude professionalism and pay testament to an organisation’s brand. Ill-fitting workwear can actually have a damaging effect on an employee’s morale, as they may feel that they do not look professional in their extra-long garments and therefore no-one will take them seriously. This is a critical concern, as many women in male-dominated industries may already feel a greater pressure to be taken seriously, compared to their male counterparts.

 

One Size Doesn’t Fit All

 

Even if your organisation provides female-specific workwear, it is important to provide custom fitting options as women’s bodies do not come in one shape or size. This is why we are proud to advocate the Mascot Accelerate for Women Range as it not only provides two custom female fits, but it is also backed by research into thousands of female figures from numerous different industries.  

All garments in the range are tailored to female bodies with well-defined waists, chest and hip sections. However, the most innovative features of the Mascot range are the two custom fits: Pearl and Diamond.

 

 

The Pearl and Diamond Fits: The Crowning Jewels of the Mascot Accelerate Range

 

The Pearl fit is specifically designed for women with a difference of less than 20 centimetres between their waist and hip measurements. Apple, rectangular and athletic body types are more likely to want a Pearl Fit, as they typically have less variation between their waist and hip measurements.

 

 

The Diamond fit is specifically designed for women with a difference of more than 20 centimetres between their waist and hip measurements. Pear and hourglass body types are more likely to want a Diamond Fit, as they tend to have well-defined waists and curvier hips.
