Why not go for a spider man outfit just to spice up the days...imagine you could creep around firing off your own webs....that would be soooooooooo cooool...

A friend of mine has done reserch, and the one people show the most confidence in is light blue top dark blue bottoms.

The reason is that people asociate these colors with police and other emergency services.

Hence why I chose that theme.

I use dark blue and white piping and white and orange lettering s this is follows company colours, I thought of light blue but I thought it would show the dirt from cleaning so dark colour looks smart all day IMO

I've just switched to dark green tops, to reflect the "eco" image of the company!!

Green is apparently a good colour to use in marketing and advertising too,... as its often associated with positive things like health, well being, moving forward. Funny the little things that affect your every day decisions subconsciously isn't it?!

It's a nightmare for me to find a company that sells trousers long enough for me :(

I'm 6ft 6" and can't find a workwear company anywhere that sells trousers that are long enough!
