In a departure from tradition, Butlin’s, a chain of seaside resorts in the United Kingdom, has opted for a new, relaxed staff uniform, bidding farewell to the classic blazers and ties in favor of a more casual ensemble that includes shorts and T-shirts.
The iconic Redcoats uniform, a staple at the family holiday camps for decades, has seen several makeovers. It had retained a formal touch with its ties, shirts, long skirts, and distinctive fitted red blazers.
After its debut in 1936, the uniform has embraced a more relaxed and laid-back style. Staff members now have the option to don white T-shirts, red shorts, and trainers, although the blazer remains a choice. The new blazers, however, are designed to be more comfortable and loosely fitting.
