Hoodies, T-Shirts or Gilets? Choosing Team Clothing for Your Business

Branded hoodies, T-shirts and gilets

Branded clothing makes a team look united, professional and easy to recognise. But which garments should you choose? It depends on the work you do, the time of year and the impression you want to give. Here's a quick guide.

T-shirts

Branded T-shirts are the most versatile option.

  • Best for: gyms, cafés, events, summer work, volunteers and giveaways
  • Why: affordable, comfortable and a big print area front and back

Hoodies

Branded hoodies are warm, relaxed and always popular.

  • Best for: clubs, creative teams, warehouses, outdoor work in cooler months and merchandise
  • Why: people love wearing them outside work too, which means more exposure for your brand

Gilets

Branded gilets look smart and keep your core warm while leaving arms free.

  • Best for: trades, estate agents, farm businesses, event staff and anyone in and out of vehicles

Jackets

Branded jackets are for teams who work outdoors year round, such as landscapers, builders and site managers.

Caps and hi-vis

Caps finish the look and keep the sun off. Hi-vis vests are essential on sites and at events (see our hi-vis guide).

Building a team wardrobe

Many businesses choose a combination: T-shirts for summer, hoodies or gilets for winter and a jacket for bad weather. Using the same colour and logo position across everything keeps your team looking consistent all year.

Tips

  1. Choose a garment colour that makes your logo stand out.
  2. Put a small logo on the chest and a larger one on the back.
  3. Order a range of sizes plus spares for new starters.
  4. Check your logo is a high-quality file. Read our logo tips.
