Where Uniforms Are Heading

Dina’s Take on What’s Next in Design

At Dina, we believe a uniform should do more than just meet the basic needs of a workplace. It should support the way people move, work and feel throughout the day. With changing expectations and evolving industries, we asked our Business Development Specialist, Gloria Kandalaft, to share the key trends shaping the future of uniform design.

Comfort and style go hand in hand

“The future of uniforms is about smart design that blends both comfort and visual appeal,” says Gloria. “When a uniform feels good, people are proud to wear it and it shows.” Designing uniforms that allow for freedom of movement while looking professional has always been a focus for Dina. Stretch fabrics and modern tailoring help deliver that balance.

Technology fabrics are becoming standard

Cooling materials, odour control and anti bacterial finishes are no longer extra features. They are becoming essential for modern uniforms, especially in sectors such as healthcare and transport. Gloria explains, “Performance fabrics act as hidden safety features. They keep workers alert, reduce fatigue and improve wellbeing without being noticed.”

Uniforms are becoming everyday fashion

Today’s uniforms use softer materials, modern cuts and a focus on individual fit. For employees who interact with customers, this fashion influence boosts confidence and strengthens team identity.

Personalisation moves beyond logos

Customisation now includes practical details tailored to specific roles, climates or departments. This might include unique pocket placements, fabric choices or fits suited to different body shapes. “Customisation becomes a strategy,” Gloria says. “Uniforms become more practical and functional, designed around real world needs.”

Seamless transition from work to life

Teams want uniforms that last longer and adapt easily. Garments that maintain their shape and move with the wearer are in high demand. Employees want clothes that work at the office or site but also look good off duty.

The future of uniforms is about more than just dress codes

At Dina, we design uniforms that reflect identity, improve comfort and bring brand stories to life. We believe the best uniforms help people feel proud and confident in their work every day.
