Host and Hostess Uniforms

Dressing the first impression

The host stand is where the room’s standard is set before a plate arrives. A defined host set — dress, blouse and skirt, or shirt and waistcoat — ends the nightly lottery of personal clothes and gives the door the same reliability the kitchen expects from its own kit.

One colour standard from door to floor

The host should look promoted from the same room, not imported from another one. Host garments are dyed on the same lab dips as the server range, so the door’s black is the floor’s black and the accent colour is the same accent. The difference comes from the garment and the cloth grade, not from a new palette.

Fit for a standing role

Hosts stand, walk and lean over a reservations book for a full shift, and the fit review reflects that: samples are approved standing at a podium, walking the longest route in the room and reaching across the desk. Blocks are drafted for the role on the pattern-making side, with women’s and men’s versions graded separately rather than scaled from one shape.

Options for the host set

Tone-on-tone logo or none, a matching scarf or tie as the house accent, a lighter summer version and a uniform coat for outdoor doors — the set is built to the same brief as the floor, only a tier smarter. Tell us how the door should feel and how the host’s evening actually runs, and we will propose the garments to match.

Briefing the door

A photo of the entrance and of the floor set the host stands beside, the roles and headcounts, and how formal the door should feel. If hosts currently wear their own clothes, tell us which outfits have worked and which have not — that is real fit and palette data. Seasonal versions can be planned in the same brief, so the door standard survives the calendar. We will propose a host set on the same colour standard as the floor, sampled and fitted for a standing, walking shift, and quote it with the rest of the range or as its own order.
