Jeans, cargo pants and overalls are some of the fashionable garments that have their origins in work attire.

For decades, fashion has taken elements from various fields and contexts, but currently workwear, known for its functionality, comfort and durability, is experiencing a real revolution.

In this context, workwear has become a key source of inspiration for designers around the world, and has transcended its original purpose to integrate into catwalks and wardrobes with garments ready-to-wear. Worker, the workwear company created by the Sierra Sánchez family with more than 65 years of experience, has drawn up a list of 5 garments that were born as part of the work uniform of many professionals, and currently occupy the windows of thousands of fashion stores:

Jeans. They are currently the most popular item of clothing in the world, but when they were patented back in 1873 they were not considered a fashion item, but rather a purely functional garment designed to withstand the harsh working conditions in mines, ranches and factories.

Cargo pants. It is one of the most recognizable trends of recent years in the world of fashion, although its origin dates back to Great Britain in the 1930s, when they were part of the British Army's military battle uniform. Later, they were adopted by the industrial sector for their functionality and resistance, since their design includes multiple large and deep pockets, which allows workers to carry tools, small equipment, and other essential items in an accessible way.

Huntress. It is curious that a priori a garment characterized by having few pockets is a work garment, but the key to its success was the functional design of its length. This piece was shorter than usual so that it would sit just above the hip, and thus, leave the workers' tool belt free.

Bun. Recognized as an iconic outfit in many professional fields, it is also one of Obrerol's quintessential garments. Its famous diver 122 It still endures to this day, remaining one of the brand's best-selling pieces. During the 1980s, the jumpsuit gained greater notoriety in ready-to-wear fashion. It became a versatile garment, used for formal and everyday occasions, maintaining its one-piece structure but adapting to the trends of each era. Today, jumpsuits are a staple in both contemporary fashion and in its work version, being essential in various industrial sectors.

Reflective vest. High visibility clothing was originally designed to increase safety in low visibility conditions for construction workers, road workers and security personnel. In recent years, these designs have been reinterpreted by fashion designers in avant-garde collections, and have also become popular in streetwear.

The trend of workwear-inspired garments continues to gain ground in the fashion world. The functionality, durability and style of these garments are becoming a must-have option for those looking for a perfect combination of comfort and design. In a world that demands more and more versatility, this trend is here to stay.
