Colourful and stylish
From classic crew neck jumpers and T-shirts to sleek chinos (available in a variety of cuts, in both men’s and women’s designs), Native Spirit draws on simplicity to create tasteful garments that will never go out of fashion. This style is perfect for businesses looking to create a relaxed atmosphere through their uniforms. Whether you work in hospitality, the yachting industry, or you’re just looking to create a more easy-going feel whilst maintaining a sense of professionalism, these styles could be perfect way of promoting your company’s brand.
What makes Native Spirit truly unique is the way they combine style and sustainability with a stunning colour palette. We regularly have requests for staple garments such as chinos but in ‘something a bit different’ when it comes to colour choices - traditionally these have always only been available in black, beige or navy. Native Spirit produces a stylish spin on this, so how about a jade green or peach colour chino instead? Their designers are passionate about offering incredible colour options which are inspired by the natural world. The majority of the collection comes in a variety of colours which are and fun & playful, but without being garish. In total, there are 53 colours across the range. From the soft, pastel fruity tones of pineapple, peach and tangerine to striking ocean blues and Amazon green, there is something to suit any business’ preferred colour palette. Bring summer to your restaurant garden or beachside bar with your gorgeously-coloured staff uniforms. By combining classic styles with beautiful colour options, Native Spirit creates garments which are perfect for businesses looking for a uniform to support their relaxed, but still sophisticated, atmosphere.
Committed to the environment
Native Spirit’s ethos isn’t just about style and colour. The brand says it is committed to producing garments in a manner which is ethically and environmentally responsible. Native Spirit aims to promote sustainable fashion by using eco-friendly materials to produce quality garments that are built to last.
From predominantly plant-based materials like hemp and lyocell (a versatile material primarily made from wood pulp), to recycled cotton and recycled polyester, Native Spirit’s team thinks carefully about the origins of the materials that go into their garments. Determined to minimise the quantity of water, energy and chemicals used in the cultivation and production process, they recently created their ‘recycled collection’. These garments are made from 100% recycled materials (45% polyester and 55% recycled cotton), drawing on fabric offcuts and recycled plastic from water bottles and fishing nets.
We love that Native Spirit offers a huge range of garments which are certified as 100% vegan and carry the EVE VEGAN label. The brand also says that it regularly completes audits of its factories, and only partners with production plants which meet the company’s high standards. If your business is passionate about sustainability and ethical working practices, Native Spirit offers many options which will ensure that your uniforms align with your values.
The Native Spirit look: fun, relaxed and different
Here are our top picks from the Native Spirit range (but we know that this will probably change as we just love every single piece they keep releasing!)
1. Organic Hemp Jacket
We absolutely love this hard-wearing and trendy ‘raw’ jacket. It’s made of 90% organic cotton and 10% hemp, uses undyed fabric for a natural look and features buttons made from recycled metal. For a natural, laid-back but still stylish aesthetic, this is a great jacket option for a uniform layer. It’s available in both men’s and women’s designs. Here you can see Charlotte modelling the women’s version, styling it out with one of their peach coloured tees underneath.
2. Women’s Twill Jumpsuits
This organic jumpsuit is already a firm favourite among the 4Couture team, can you guess why? lol. What a stylish, comfortable and fun choice for a uniform! Charlotte (left) wears the jumpsuit in the shade ‘wet sand’ and Georgie (right) wears the same design in ‘powder pink’. This sleek design looks amazing, helps provide a clean and cohesive look that’s relaxed but still professional. The self coloured waist tie can be tied in a range of styles but come on, how cute does the bow look! It’s made from 100% organic cotton with a peached finish and features a recycled metal zip AND is fully vegan. Amazing!
3. Washed Cotton Shirt
This 100% combed cotton shirt (available in both men’s and women’s designs) is a great option for businesses looking for a shirt which offers a more relaxed feel. The quality and the cut are stunning, meaning it looks great worn tucked in or out and the washed effect adheres to the ‘something a bit different’ look that so many wish to create. It’s available in six washed colour options with contrasting buttons. Here our models Ollie (left) and Georgie (right) wear the ‘washed navy’ option teamed with a simple black chino. Oh, and it’s also 100% vegan!
4. Women’s Dungaree Dress
Who doesn’t love a dungaree dress? This funky design is perfect for anyone who wants to inject a bit of fun into their staff uniform. The white design can be layered over a brighter coloured top to create a strong brand identity. This garment creates a relaxed but still professional impression and fits right into any setting looking to create a youthful atmosphere. The dungaree dress is also practical, with adjustable straps and belt loops and several pockets for servers to pocket their notebook and pen!
