If you think that the workwear style is new, you are in for a surprise. The workwear trend started to take the fashion spotlight in the early 2000s, and it pays homage to the skillful and tireless workers of the industrial revolution who worked hard to build the world as you see it today.

Inspired by the style’s functionality, Urban Outfitters embraces rugged styles with a new guide to the season. Honing in on workwear-inspired looks, casual pieces come together from Levi’s, Pendleton, Dickies, and other established brands. Straight-cut pants, layered jackets, Urban Outfitters’ beanies, and utilitarian shirts contribute to a functional winter wardrobe.

What makes the workwear trend so popular and unique? The style and make of the clothing were easily embraced by this generation because they’re easy to wear, comfortable, and made to last. Since the design is pretty straightforward and on point, it transcends eras, age, and gender.

Nowadays, more and more fashion labels adopt the style and take inspiration from the laborers of the old times but with a touch of romance and a modern vibe. It perfectly complements the look of many desk-bound IT professionals or even the career patriarchs of families. 

Today, you’ll often see girls and guys strutting stretched cuffed work pants paired with heavy-duty boots. And on social platforms, plaid flannel shirts can be seen styled with distressed jeans and elegant leather bags from high-end brands.
