Abstract
This research focuses on the investigation based on human factor engineering, and explores the relationship between human body and clothing from different aspects. It discusses that clothing materials, sizes, styles, and colors can better meet the physiological and psychological needs of couriers when they work, takes into account the relationship among courier, clothing, and working environment, points out the limitations of courier’s work clothes at present, and proposes new design methods. Finally, according to the principle of design optimization, a more comfortable, multi-functional, healthy, safe, and fashionable couriers’ work clothes is pointed out, which provides guidance for the improvement of the couriers’ work clothes with multi-functional and innovative design.
