After getting its fashionable start in the '90s when it was worn by your favourite skateboarders and rappers, workwear has now gone on to be one of the biggest apparel trends on the planet, and it's safe to say it's not going anywhere soon. First developed during the 18th century for labourers, workwear has now somewhat ditched its blue-collar roots to become a suitable wardrobe choice for those looking for hard-wearing goods with the style to match.

So whether you're a seasoned veteran of the workwear game or you're looking to embrace the trend, we've picked out four silhouettes below that we think every workwear fan should have in their arsenal!

First up on our list, we have the Carhartt WIP Michigan Coat. Existing as an ode to Carhartt's birthplace, the Michigan Coat is a hard-wearing workwear icon famed for its 'Dearborn' canvas construction. Inside this piece, you'll note a cosy blanket lining, ideal for keeping the cold at bay, along with its button closure. Four pockets grace the exterior of this jacket, perfect for storing small goods. Finally, a corduroy collar adds an authentic touch of heritage.

Next up, we have an outerwear silhouette that can be traced directly back to World War II. We are, of course, talking about the famed Dickies Eisenhower Jacket. This particular piece draws its name after General Dwight D. Eisenhower, the man who famously gave the US Army a functional makeover during the war. The piece itself is constructed from a hard-wearing mix of polyester and cotton, offering years of robust comfort to come. A warm quilted lining is featured on the inner of this piece, offering a multi-seasonal approach to styling. In addition, a small Dickies brand patch can be seen at the front of the jacket, delivering subtle details where they matter.

Our third offering pairs perfectly with the aforementioned Eisenhower Jacket and also arrives courtesy of Dickies. Arguably the brand's most famed item, the 874 work pant offers a unique and instantly recognisable fit amongst those in the know. With a loose and straight-leg fit, these trousers deliver a classic-meets-contemporary approach without compromising on style. With a polycotton twill construction, you're guaranteed to have these trousers for years to come.

Our final item is arguably one of the best mid-layers available on the market. The Carhartt WIP Vest offers an array of pairing options, whilst providing utility and style where it matters most. Like the Michigan Coat, this vest utilises 12oz 'Dearborn' canvas, resulting in a robust and unwavering construction. On the exterior of this piece, you'll note two hand pockets, a frontal zip closure, and Carhartt's iconic woven patch logo, making this one ideal from the woodland to the streets.
