Edwards Smocks

For those working in the hospitality, food processing, health care, etc. industries, a smock might be a core part of your every day uniform. Smocks are a a garment that goes on top of your shirt as a protective and professional uniform look. Since their main purpose is to protect the person and the clothing their wearing, a smock should always be worn as an outer garment rather than an undergarment. Some of our favorite high-quality smocks are made by Edwards.

Smocks are highly common in a variety of different work environments - and are often worn by women. However, the latter is not to meant that smocks are to be worn by women only – far from it – men also frequently rock smocks as they are as involved in work place environments as women are. Consequently, smocks are a popular garment that have been around for a long time and serve up many purposes.

Traditionally, smocks take up the shape of a shirt, but they are a bit oversized since there is typically something being worn under it. Smocks can be both long or short sleeved and come in different colors and patterns. The main function of buying smocks it to cover up one’s other clothes from damage, stains, etc. In kitchens for example, one might wear a smock to protect themselves from kitchen mishaps and messes, whereas at hospitals, nurses might wear them to prevent one’s clothes from coming into contact with medicine or chemicals, etc.
