Let’s face it: if you’ve ever tried finding workwear that actually fits, you know the struggle is real. Wearing baggy, ill-fitting men’s clothes isn’t just uncomfortable—it’s downright frustrating. Enter Green Hip, the brand on a mission to change all that. Olivia Thwaites, a horticultural apprentice back in 1997, quickly realised women in trades were being forced into workwear designed for, well, men. And she wasn’t having it. Fast forward to today, and Olivia’s taking the workwear industry by storm, one perfectly fitting pair of trousers at a time.
Here’s what makes Green Hip the real deal: unlike those brands that just shrink men’s sizes and call it a day, Olivia’s team designs every stitch, every pocket, every waistband with women in mind. Because let’s be real—women’s bodies are not just smaller versions of men’s. Green Hip gets that, and their game-changing workwear reflects it. Deep pockets that actually work (imagine that!), waistbands that don’t dig in, and triple bar-tacked pockets that won’t fall apart when you’re carrying heavy tools—yes, please!
Oh, and did we mention they’re sustainable too? Green Hip doesn’t just talk the talk—they’re giving you a six-month warranty on every garment. That’s right. No fast fashion nonsense here, just long-lasting pieces made from a stretchy cotton blend that lets you move without feeling like you’re wrapped in a straitjacket.
Their star players? The ‘All Women’ overalls—complete with adjustable waistlines for all stages of life (yes, even pregnancy)—and their SKNY Flex pants, which are basically the Beyoncé of gardening pants. High-waisted, with optional knee pads and pockets galore, these babies have got you covered whether you’re knee-deep in a garden bed or swinging a hammer on-site.
But what really sets Green Hip apart? Olivia’s fierce dedication to improving the lives of women in trades. “Our customers constantly tell us how our clothes have changed their lives,” Olivia says. And we don’t doubt that; that’s the power of feeling seen and represented in a typically male dominated field.
So whether you're building a house or planting a garden, Green Hip has your back (and legs, and everything in between). And this September, as part of Lunchbox Architect’s Green Thumbs month, they're giving you an exclusive discount to try these revolutionary pieces for yourself!
