workwear

This term refers to a specialized category of clothing where utility and safety take precedence over aesthetics. It encompasses everything from heavy-duty overalls and steel-toed boots to high-visibility vests, emphasizing a functional relationship between the garment and the professional environment.

Grammatically, this is a mass noun. It describes a general category of clothing rather than individual items. Consequently, it does not have a plural form; one does not refer to multiple sets of workwear as "workwears." To specify individual pieces, counters such as "a piece of" or "an item of" must be used.
