Royal Mail is rolling out a new uniform for postmen and women across the UK as part of the first change in a decade.
The new designs were based on feedback from postmen and postwomen, taking into account the changing nature of the job, including an increase in parcel deliveries.
This new-look uniform will include walking trousers and shorts, tops, jackets, gilets, and headwear.
The national rollout follows a three-month trial.
A team of experts in design, fabrics and product development collaborated with a leading industry expert in biomechanics in order to come up with the new-look design.
A Royal Mail spokesman said: “We worked closely with our people to come up with these designs which are poised to help them in their highly physical jobs while reflecting the shift towards more parcels.”
