What to wear?

Post by cjpinky »

I’ve just got my start date and I start in just over a week. I haven’t got a uniform form yet and have been told it will come in the post with my contract. I doubt that I will get my uniform in time for next Tuesday when I start so what will I need to buy to wear until I get my uniform?
Thanks

What to wear?

Post by fb1969 »

Loose fitting, comfortable clothes that are suitable for whatever the weather throws at you. Not jeans as they cling to you in the dry and hold water if (when) it rains. Comfortable and supporting footwear that will hopefully last a fair time before the grip on the sole wears out. Plenty of pockets. Several loose fitting layers for your top half are better than a couple of thick items - you can always take things off if you get too warm.
