Blue collar workers usually need uniforms or work pants in a specific color. White collar workers need business pants or business casual pants. If you work more than one job in both fields, i.e., blue collar and white collar, you need a lot of different work pants. Purchasing and buying work pants for both blue collar and white collar jobs at the same time can get pretty expensive.

Here is how you can manage your clothing budget and dress for all the jobs you do:

Work Pants for Sale Online Through Close-out Merchants

There are several online discount e-tailers of work pants, uniform pants, business casual and dress pants. These merchants buy up stock from other companies that have gone out of business and need to unload their inventory. All of the pants available for sale are usually limited quantities, but you can buy as many as you want in your size for ridiculously cheap prices.

Online Only Merchants

When you have to find a specific size, color or style of work pants and cannot find them anywhere else, online only merchants probably have what you are looking for. These merchants have connections to manufacturers on a global scale, which allows them to stock, advertise and sell products not found anywhere else.

It also allows these merchants to charge competitive prices, but sales on clothing items are frequent because not many people immediately go to online only merchants to buy clothes for work. With some of these merchants, you can even add the pants you want to a virtual cart and save them for later, when it is highly probable that the prices will drop and you can get an even better deal.

Work Pants from Consigners

Even though most consignment stores operate locally, some of them have made the transition to online sales. Items in high demand, such as khakis or scrubs, go fast, but consignment prices are only slightly more expensive than thrift store prices and less expensive than merchants who sell close-out pants online. Additionally, you can consign work clothes that no longer fit or do not need for cash or store credit to buy what you do need.

Shipping Options

After you have found and purchased your work pants for both your blue collar and your white collar jobs, you can have them shipped to your home, or you can have them shipped to your places of employment. Some merchants will even split your shipping locations, per your request, and send your blue collar pants to your blue collar employment address, and your white collar pants to your white collar place of employment.

Since employers often have restrictions on moonlighting in another job, you can keep both jobs and never have them meet, even when you buy work pants on sale and have them shipped to separate locations.
