Inefficient Workforce? The Hidden Cost of Uncomfortable Uniforms – Discover Function+ Fabric for Premium Corporate Uniforms 2025

The true cost of a company uniform doesn’t lie only in fabric prices or production fees.
It also hides in lost productivity, decreased employee confidence, and a weakened brand image caused by wrinkled, stiff, or uncomfortable outfits.
That’s when Function+ fabric stops being a mere option — and becomes a strategic investment in the greatest asset of every business: its people.

The Overlooked Truth: Uncomfortable Uniforms Are Draining Your Team’s Performance 

A 2024 Forbes survey revealed that 91% of office women struggle with work attire that’s uncomfortable or hard to mix and match.
This highlights how critical — and urgent — comfort has become in the modern workplace.

Ms. Lan (25 years old, office worker) felt extremely self-conscious whenever her clothes got wrinkled right before a presentation or an important meeting with the senior executives.

A hot, rigid, sweat-trapping uniform may silently harm your team’s performance:

  • Loss of focus: Constantly adjusting their clothes, feeling itchy or sticky, employees lose concentration on their main tasks.
  • Reduced confidence: Imagine a sales rep meeting a key client with sweat-stained clothes — it directly impacts business results.
  • Psychological impact: Wearing poor-quality uniforms daily can signal that the company doesn’t truly care about staff well-being, reducing morale and loyalty.

The Old Mindset Trap: Why Focusing Only on “Cheap Uniforms” Is a Strategic Mistake

When asked how they choose uniform fabrics, many companies still prioritize low cost above all.
But that short-term thinking often leads to long-term losses.

A Randstad US survey showed that 38% of employees aged 25–35 have been reminded by HR to “dress more professionally.”


This reflects the tension between comfort (employees) and professionalism (companies) — something cheap fabrics fail to balance.

Let’s compare the old mindset vs. modern approach to choosing uniforms:

Old Selection Criteria Modern Selection Criteria
Top priority: Lowest possible cost Top priority: Balance between price, performance & long-term value
Material: Traditional Kate, Kaki, Polyester Material: Natural fibers, Improved Polyester, Multi-functional Function+ fabric
Focus: Basic durability, colorfastness Focus: Wearer comfort, smart functionality, modern aesthetics
Result: Employees feel awkward, brand looks unpolished Result: Employees feel proud, stronger internal culture, elevated brand image

Function+ Uniform Fabric – The Perfect Solution for “Brand & Performance”

More than a stylish fabric, Function+ directly tackles the key problems of traditional uniforms.

ANTI-WRINKLE TECHNOLOGY: Employees can start their day looking polished — no ironing needed.   

BREATHABLE COMFORT: In Vietnam’s humid climate, this is a lifesaver — the fabric regulates body temperature and instantly absorbs sweat.

UV PROTECTION: Function+ uniforms shield the skin from harmful sun rays.

4-WAY STRETCH: Provides maximum freedom of movement, keeping staff comfortable whether sitting long hours or constantly on the move.

Industries That Can’t Ignore Function+

Each sector has specific demands — and Function+ adapts seamlessly:

F&B (Restaurants, Hotels, Cafés): Clean, crisp, and comfortable uniforms. Quick-dry and wrinkle-free Function+ fabric is ideal for chefs, servers, and front desk teams.

Retail & Showrooms (Auto, Fashion, Electronics): Staff move constantly and must maintain a fresh, neat look. Stretchy, breathable Function+ fabric ensures confidence all day.

Corporate Offices (Finance, Real Estate, Tech): High standards of professionalism. Wrinkle-resistant Function+ shirts, trousers, and skirts set the new benchmark.

Services & Logistics: Employees often work outdoors — Function+’s UV protection, quick-dry, and durability offer superior protection.

Expert Guide: Choosing the Right Fabric & Colors for Corporate Uniforms

Selecting the right material and color palette determines up to 90% of a uniform’s success.

  • For Polo/T-shirts: Choose knitted fabrics — highly breathable, stretchable, and naturally antibacterial with cooling features.
  • For Shirts: Opt for woven Function+ fabrics with high wrinkle resistance. Their smooth surface and structured form convey elegance and professionalism.

Color Guidelines:

  • Brand Identity Colors: Use your company’s signature tones for strong brand recognition.
  • Timeless Professional Shades: Navy, charcoal gray, white, black, and beige never go out of style and help accentuate your logo.
  • Color Coordination: Use contrast (light top – dark bottom) for a dynamic look, or monochrome tones for refined sophistication.

Investing in uniforms is no longer a cost — it’s a smart investment in company culture and brand reputation.
Let every employee become a proud brand ambassador — confident, stylish, and professional.
