Carhartt’s summer range allows you to stay cool & look great on site & at home

Long days in the sun call for more than just standard work gear. Carhartt’s summer range is built to handle soaring temperatures, tough tasks and the demands of the job site. Whether it’s UV protection, breathable fabrics, or flexibility where it matters, the Carhartt collection delivers.

Force™ Series Sun Defender™ Short-Sleeve Logo T-Shirt

The summer T-shirt might be a wardrobe basic, but not all tees are created equal, especially when it comes to working outdoors. A typical cotton T-shirt offers only around UPF 5, meaning harmful UV rays can still reach and damage the skin. That’s where Carhartt’s Force™ Series Sun Defender™ Short-Sleeve Logo T-Shirt (107182) steps in. With built-in UPF protection, FastDry™ sweat-wicking technology and anti-microbial properties, it’s purpose-built for tradespeople spending long days in the sun.

Denim Utility & Rugged Flex™ Duck Double Front Shorts

When it comes to shorts, Carhartt offers several solid options. The Denim Utility Shorts (106848) are made from hardwearing cotton with reinforced pockets. Sitting slightly below the waist and cut in a relaxed fit, they’re tough but comfortable. The Rugged Flex™ Duck Double Front Shorts (106847) are made for movement, with built-in stretch, multiple reinforced tool pockets, and a durable construction that holds up under pressure.

Rugged Professional™ Series & Canvas Caps

Caps are a summer essential, keeping dust, sweat and sun out of your eyes. The Rugged Professional™ Series Cap (106687) – available in khaki, navy, or black – has a breathable mesh back to keep you cool, an anti-odour Force™ Series sweatband with FastDry™ technology, and an adjustable plastic snap closure. The Canvas Cap (100289) also features an anti-microbial Carhartt Force™ Series sweatband and comes in seven colour options, complete with a faux-leather patch on the front.

Summer workwear for women

Carhartt’s women’s summer gear is built with the same durability and practicality but tailored to the needs of women on site. The range reflects real-world feedback – from fabric choice to fit – and includes lightweight options as well as tougher pieces for more demanding work.

Loose Fit Lightweight Crewneck T-Shirt

When Carhartt asked women in the trades what they needed, the answer was clear: lightweight, breathable workwear that didn’t compromise on toughness. That insight led to the TENCEL™ range. TENCEL™ fibres are naturally moisture-wicking, soft on the skin and highly breathable – ideal for warm-weather work. They also hold colour well and resist pilling, making them practical for repeated wear and washing. The Loose Fit Lightweight Crewneck T-Shirt (106122) is a great example: soft, breathable and designed to layer or wear solo. It comes in a variety of colours, including Soft Rose and Wisteria, offering a lighter palette for summer.

Rugged Flex™ Canvas Work Short & Canvas Embroidered Graphic Cap

Shorts are just as thoughtfully designed. The Rugged Flex™ Canvas Work Short (105730) is made from micro-sanded stretch canvas and features a flexible waistband that moves with you – not against you. Reinforced pockets and durable belt loops make it ideal for everything from landscaping to logistics. Top the look off with the Canvas Embroidered Graphic Cap (106810), available in colour-of-the-season undyed ecru or classic Carhartt brown, complete with a mesh back, anti-odour sweatband and signature branding.

From UV-blocking T-shirts to flexible, breathable fabrics built with real feedback, Carhartt’s summer collection proves that performance and comfort don’t have to be a trade-off. It’s kit that works hard – just like the people wearing it.
