In this article we take a look at Nimbus, the Scandinavian clothing brand which combines quality, style and functionality to create innovative workwear designs which are perfect for modern business settings. We’ll be looking at why employers should consider investing in coats and jackets as part of their corporate uniform, and the features which make Nimbus’ coats and jackets some the best in the business.

Whatever sector you’re in, employee uniforms are an important branding tool - by providing your employees with high-quality, practical and stylish workwear, you boost your profile as an employer who invests in their team.

However, it’s not just about suits and shirts. While these staple garments are great for providing a professional impression inside the office, you also need to think about your how your brand is represented when team members step out the door. We have existing clients such as field agency staff, holiday parks and hospitality teams who all wish for their team members to be easily identifiable whilst moving around locations and promoting their brand.

Even those who are office based might require the need for a branded outer garment. For example, if a travelling brand representative visits a client’s offices, they’ll probably need to step outside at some point. If it’s cold and/or raining (we’re British – we get it), they’ll need a coat. As an employer, do you want the client’s first impression of your company to be based on an old, faded purple raincoat which your employee just grabbed from their car boot? Or worse, your team member arriving for an appointment soaked through to the skin!

However, if your employee arrives wearing a stylish, high-quality embroidered coat, this will make a great first impression. It shows that you’re a company who values professionalism and that you understand the importance of branding along with the well being of your staff. What’s more, your employee will likely feel more confident and perform better during the visit. In short, investing in great corporate wardrobe for your team – including coats and jackets – will help you grow your company’s reputation as a professional, successful business.

Now you need to find a supplier who can help you source amazing corporate workwear. Look no further, because we’re here to help! We offer end-to-end service for sourcing and branding corporate uniform with an exceptional eye for detail. We pride ourselves on not being aligned with just one brand and instead we work to find the best garments tailored to your requirement, working with a range of brilliant suppliers, one of them being our all-time favourite brand Nimbus...

Nimbus: Nordic designs for the corporate world

Founded in 1995 in the Danish capital Copenhagen, the team at Nimbus have been dedicated to designing and producing quality garments from day one. As well as offering a great variety of shirts and smart jumpers, they have an incredible range of jackets and coats which are perfect for the corporate environment. Nimbus’ garments are always smart, stylish and functional, combining classic Scandinavian style with current trends to create a timeless look.

Nimbus garments offer unparalleled quality in every sense, whether it be quality design, materials or craftmanship. Every stitch, fastening and detail on a Nimbus piece is created with the utmost precision. We’re always blown away by the quality of their pieces and their ability to nail stylishness AND functionality in every single one of their garments.

We also love Nimbus’ emphasis on sustainability. They stock ranges that contain up to 100% recycled materials, from the outer fabric to the lining and padding. Their emphasis on quality also marks them out as a proponent of slow fashion. High-quality garments last longer, which means they don’t need to be replaced as often. Investing in good quality workwear – such as the range offered by Nimbus – will help the planet out, as well as saving you time and money in the long run.

We at 4Couture are passionate advocates for gender equality, particularly when it comes to workwear so we love the little tailoring details that Nimbus feature on their female fitted garments and the fact they offer so many garments in both male & female cuts. If you’re interested in learning more about the challenges female employees face when trying to access appropriate workwear and PPE, you can read our blog post on the topic.

4. ‘Wave’ Quilted Gilet

What was once seen as a garment worn only during outdoor leisure activities has made its way into trendy urban and business settings, reflecting a desire to create a business casual look which still packs a corporate punch. The gilet is typically associated with the British “country chic” aesthetic, a style which is subconsciously associated with sophistication and success. If you’re a brand looking to appeal to a client-base who resonate with these qualities, the gilet could be the perfect option for you.

Nimbus have put their own spin on this classic with a stylish wave quilted design. Available in black or midnight blue, this gilet features top-quality down feather insulation which keeps the wearer warm without compromising on breathability and is wind/water repellent too. It’s a versatile garment which can be worn on its own or under an overcoat in wetter, windier weather. As with all Nimbus’ pieces, their gilet delivers impeccable quality, ingenious tailoring and exquisite finishing details.

Gilets and light jackets are an excellent choice in many climates, but you might be after something more resilient to tougher weather conditions. If you’re looking for thicker winter jacket, Nimbus offers a luxury winter coat which is perfect for the cold months. It’s wind and waterproof with taped seams and it’s filled with warm padding made from Sugenro insulation. It also features a chin protector and detachable hood for extra versatility.

However, this jacket maintains the characteristic stylishness and quality you expect from a Nimbus design. The clean lines, simple black finish and discreet fastenings and details elevate it from the level of a standard winter coat to a garment which looks at home in urban and business environments. With Nimbus, wrapping up warm and dry doesn’t mean you have to compromise on corporate fashion.

To top it all off, like many of Nimbus’ jackets this coat is made from 100% recycled materials. This includes the outer fabric, lining and padding. This jacket has it all: practicality, quality, stylishness and sustainability. What’s not to love?
