The Styles You’ll Be Seeing Everywhere This Year
If there’s one thing we’ve learned in over 25 years of designing work uniforms, it’s this: style waits for no one. Trends come and go faster than cake in the break room, but comfort and function? Those are non-negotiable. It’s safe to say our team of uniform experts have their finger on the pulse, and this year, it’s all about earthy neutrals with attitude, bold details that don’t try too hard, and sustainability that’s more action, and less marketing fluff.
So, if your team’s uniforms feel like they’re stuck in 2015, don’t panic — we’re here to make sure they’re dressed for the future. Whether it’s effortlessly tailored pieces, clever layering for year-round versatility, or fabrics designed to move with you (not against you), 2025 workwear is about blending timeless style with forward-thinking innovation.
Ready to see what’s trending? Let’s break down the 2025 corporate & office workwear trends your team will actually want to wear.
Prediction #1
Earthy neutrals are set to define workplace style in 2025. Shades like PANTONE’s Colour of the Year: Mocha Mousse, olive green, sage, and charcoal tones bring a modern, approachable vibe to any uniform while remaining effortlessly versatile.
“Neutrals are no-fuss and no-fail,” says Maria, DTY’s Creative Director. “They work on everyone and instantly make a team look cohesive without feeling overly formal.”
What's new in neutral workwear for 2025
- Boxy Silhouettes: Boxy fits, like oversized shirts, cropped tops, and shift dresses, offer a relaxed silhouette that adds a modern twist (more on that later).
- Textured Fabrics: “A little texture keeps neutrals fresh—nobody wants to look like a blank wall,” Maria adds.
- Layering Flexibility: “Our clients love pieces that work year-round. After all, Australian air-con is its own beast,” Danielle, our General Manager, laughs.

Prediction #2
Boxy silhouettes are leading the way in gender-neutral uniforms for 2025, offering a reprieve from stiff fabrics and stuffy, overly tailored fits.
“People are tired of feeling squeezed into their clothes,” says DTY’s General Manager, Danielle. “Boxy fits give everyone the freedom to move—and breathe—while still looking sharp.”
Our Must-Haves for Boxy Done Right
- Cropped Styles: Nail the boxy trend with a cropped top, cardigan, or blazer that defines your waistline—pair it with wide-leg trousers and sleek shoes for a balanced silhouette.
- Wide-Leg Pants: A polished yet practical addition to any uniform wardrobe, wide-leg trousers are both stylish and functional. “And they leave room for a big lunch,” adds Ebony.
- Oversized Sweaters: “They’re cosy but professional enough to throw on over a collared shirt,” Danielle suggests.

Prediction #3
Neutrals may set the stage, but bold colours and custom prints are stealing the spotlight in 2025 workwear. Jewel tones like emerald green and sapphire blue bring the drama, while custom patterns let businesses infuse their uniforms with personality and purpose that leave a lasting impression.
“This is where businesses can have fun and show who they are,” says Maria. “A splash of colour or a unique design can make uniforms memorable & boost team pride.”
How to nail it
- Cultural Connection: Incorporating local or Indigenous-inspired designs is a meaningful way to stand out and connect businesses with their communities.
- Balance is Key: “Bold accents, whether they be colours or patterns, work best when paired with neutrals—it keeps things professional,” Maria advises.
- Custom Prints: “These can tell a story beyond your logo. Think designs inspired by your values or community,” Ebony says.

Prediction #4
Welcome to 2025; where sustainability is no longer a bonus—it’s a necessity. Businesses are demanding eco-conscious workwear solutions that don’t just minimise harm but actively contribute to environmental restoration. From recycled fabrics to low-impact production, the focus is on uniforms that work for both people and the planet.
“Sustainability isn’t a trend; it’s the expectation now,” says Ebony, DTY’s Sustainability Lead. “Companies want uniforms that align with their environmental values and make a real difference.”
How they're making a difference
- Eco Materials: From recycled polyester that reduces landfill waste to low-impact dyes that protect waterways — these are just some of the small changes making a big impact on the planet.
- Uniform Recycling Programs/Services: “These let companies and individuals alike upcycle old uniforms into something new, keeping waste out of landfills,” Maria explains.
- Transparency is Key: “Certifications like OEKO-TEX® and GRS help customers know they’re making more ethical choices,” Danielle says.
