JLS Take To The Stage Wearing Dickies Workwear

You'd expect the country's top popstars to strutt their stuff in tailored suits and designer footwear, but it seems real stars prefer a more rough-and-ready approach to fashion; backup dancers for UK supergroup JLS took to the stage on their summer tour modelling Dickies workwear.

Dickies, one of the top workwear clothing and protective footwear brands sold by DSXpress, is usually favoured by plumbers, electricians, mechanics and builders – however the JLS dancers looked right at home in their coveralls, and the sold-out concert was a resounding success.

Good Looks, Great Protection

While workwear garments and safety boots are becoming a common feature on stage and on the catwalk, they were originally designed for use in hazardous work environments, and their aesthetic appeal is just a bonus compared to their numerous safety features. Scruffs Waterproof Safety Boots, for example, have steel toe-caps for protection from falling objects, shock-resistant inner soles and pierce-resistant midsoles. DSXpress offers safety shoes in a wide variety of styles to suit any preference, but they all have one thing in common; they are designed to provide the highest standard of protection.

DSXpress sells quality coveralls in short-sleeved and long-sleeved styles, with waterproofing and padding, in a range of sizes suitable for men, women and even children. DSXpress is also committed to offering customers the best value for money, and often holds clearance sales to make way for new stock.
