Tradie Women’s Work Pants: The Ultimate Guide

 In Materials

Workwear specifically designed for women in the trade industry, including tradie women’s work pants, offers several benefits for the wearer. A good pair offers comfort, improved performance, and safety, ensuring no restriction in movement, which is crucial in preventing injuries.

As a specialist supplier of trade workwear in Perth, Workers Shop understands the needs and challenges of female tradies searching for comfortable, durable, and functional workwear. That’s why we have created this guide, which aims to help your search for work pants for women, whether you require cargo, stretchy, or cotton pants.

 

Tailoring Workwear to Meet Tradie Women’s Specific Needs

The Industrial Revolution in the late 18th and early 19th centuries opened the floodgates for women to enter the workforce in unprecedented numbers. Up until the early 20th century, however, workwear, including women work pants, shoes, and suits, was based mainly on existing workwear for men.

There were minimal options, leading to problems like ill-fitting clothing and size range restrictions. With off-the-shelf workwear, accommodating size and requirement differences caused the female workforce to complain about discomfort and substandard performance.

The wearer’s safety was also a considerable matter. Certain industries found it difficult to offer women suitable workwear to meet safety standards and regulations.

More hardworking women in the 1960s and 1970s embraced pantsuits, trousers, and cotton work pants in professional environments.

Finally, women’s workwear saw a massive turn in the late 20th century, allowing for more diverse and industry-specific clothing, including different colours like grey, white, and blue work pants.

Finding the Perfect Fit for Women’s Tradie Work Pants

Thanks to the evolution of women’s workwear, female tradies can choose from various types of tradie work pants, including:

 

Cargo Work Pants

Women’s cargo work pants have multiple pockets to carry tools and other small items. They may also come with flaps and closures.

 

High-Waisted Work Pants

Women’s high waisted work pants feature a waistline sitting above the natural waistline, generally atop the belly button.

 

Stretchy Work Pants

Stretchy work pants use fabrics like spandex or elastane to give that added stretch for increased comfort and flexibility.

 

Hi-Vi Work Pants

Unlike typical black work pants for women, pants with high visibility have reflective materials. This characteristic is often valuable for environments such as construction sites requiring extra worker safety visibility.

 

Flame-Resistant Work Pants

For women working in areas with high fire risk, these pants should be worn to protect them from heat and flames. They come with fabrics that do not react even when exposed to high temperatures and sometimes sparks, such as those from welding tools.

 

Breathable

Stay cool with this type of workwear pants. Huge bonus if it also has moisture-wicking properties, such as cotton work pants.

Women's Tradie Work Pants come in a variety of styles with durability, functionality and comfortability.

 

Combining Style, Comfort, and Functionality in Women’s Work Pants

Contemporary fashion is not just about style and aesthetics; in fact, more emphasis is placed on functionality, comfort, and safety. Tailored workwear, especially tradie women’s work pants, considers different body shapes and sizes to help enhance the wearer’s performance and productivity.

The following features make women’s pants more comfortable and functional:

  • Elastic Waist work pants with drawstrings, side tabs, or inserts for tightening or loosening waistbands
  • Belt Loops for more adjustability using a belt
  • Customisable Fits to suit more sizes and match other requirements of the wearer
  • Adjustable Closures around the wrists or ankles for more security and personalisation

The best work pants for you will depend on your job and its clothing requirements, along with your preferences. But whatever you pick, make sure it is the perfect fit for reduced discomfort and even give you a more flattering silhouette.

Workers Shop’s quality pants for women offer ergonomic features, such as adjustable rise heights, curved waistbands, and darts to contour around specific body areas. Together, they give wearers optimum comfort even when the pants are worn for an extended period.

 

Functionality and Durability Considerations

Trade jobs are rigorous and demanding, therefore requiring rugged, long-lasting pants. These pants should not rip easily despite the constant movement in order to support performance and enhance your efficiency as you work. Additionally, women’s pants should offer additional protection with their safety features, which can be helpful in mitigating workplace hazards.

Pants’ durability is essential, determining whether the workwear can withstand impacts, abrasions, and even exposure to piercing objects. So, here are some key durability and functionality features to look for when shopping for new pants:

  • Reinforced Knees: With strengthened stitching for the knees, which are deemed high-stress areas, women’s pants can become more durable and long-lasting.
  • Multifunctional Pockets: Pockets should not just be durable but also have the right size and placement. KingGee Ladies Workcool 2 Taped Pant is an excellent option with 10 deep multifunctional pockets where you can fit your tools. Have a look at Workit Women’s Cargo Taped Pant, too, which has two front pockets, back patch pockets, and internal pockets on both legs.
  • Heavy-Duty Material: Durable materials, such as heavy-duty cotton, blended fabrics, and ripstop fabrics, are brilliant choices that can withstand the demands of the industry. Hard Yakka’s Raptor Cuffed Taped Pant, available at our store, is made with rich ripstop fabric that prevents ripping and tearing.
  • Anti-Bacterial Treatment: Check out Bisley’s cotton pants with reflective tape, which have patented Fresche bacterial treatment that works against fungus, mould, mildew, and odour.

At Workers Shop, you find quality work pants for women you can easily care for. The fabrics used are primarily machine-washable and can resist fading and stains, guaranteeing longevity.

 

Meeting Safety and Compliance Requirements

Tradie work is challenging and can be risky at times. Ensuring that you wear clothing that meets safety and compliance regulations can maintain your well-being and the safety of the work environment. Accidents can happen, leading to injuries or even death, which can be prevented or at least have minimised impacts when suitable work clothing is worn.

Tradie pants may seem insignificant, but they are designed to protect you against certain workplace hazards like flames and cuts from sharp objects. Trade industries have strict regulations and safety standards, including AS/NZS 4399:2017 for ultraviolet protection and AS/NZS 1906.4:2010 for hi-vis garments that you must abide by.

At Workers Shop, we carefully choose all types of workwear on the website. That’s because we prioritise the safety and well-being of the wearer by providing work pants that meet Australia’s work safety requirements. These pants are made with premium fabrics with resistance to tears and punctures. They comply with safety specifications required by law, such as high visibility (for example Hard Yakka Stretch Cargo Cuffed Pant with reflective tape above and below the knees) and flame resistance (like the Hard Yakka Ladies FR Taped Pant) as specified by the industry.
