TIPS FOR FINDING THE IT SCRUBS!
It all begins with an idea.
Whether you’re working late nights in the ICU or early mornings on call, soft, stretchy scrubs is a must. There’s nothing worse than hour 5 of a long shift and your scrubs feel heavy and dirty. Dressing for comfort is important so you feel ready to do your best. When you have soft scrubs that are functional and long lasting, it’s easier to be confident and prepared for whatever work throws at you. Here are our tips to know when buying scrubs. Today we’re breaking down our top tips to finding the perfect scrubs.
HANDY TIPS WHEN BUYING SCRUBS
FIND THE RIGHT FIT
Comfortable scrubs sparks joy! You don’t want your scrubs to be too big and boxy or too tight so that it gets in the way of your movement. Find durable, yet stretchy scrubs to give you freedom to move – like a cosy outfit that feels like a soft hug.
LOOK FOR QUALITY SCRUBS
When your scrubs can’t last more than few weeks…Ugh, As If! You don’t want to opt for cheaper sets that won’t be in your closet for long. Quality scrubs are strong as nails and easy to clean. We have developed our TRS Tech™ fabric, that mean your scrubs are ultra-stretchy and anti-wrinkle. Our super soft scrubs are also moisture-wicking for those 12-hour shifts.
ENOUGH POCKETS
The number of pockets for your scrubs is up to you. It depends on your personality, your comfort level, and your work habits. Some might only want five, while others prefer twelve! It doesn’t matter how many pockets you have, but also how functional they are!
COLOURS COUNT
Depending on your workplace, you might be required to wear a specific colour. If you have the option to choose a colour, then the world is your oyster! If it was up to us, we’d say wear a different colour every day to match your mood. Feel pretty in Burgundy by channelling your inner Elle Woods or tap into your inner peace with a calming Lilac.
FADE RESISTANT
When your scrubs are fade resistant, the colours you picked stay beautiful rather than looking faded and drab. Make sure you’re always having a fashion moment in your scrubs!
YOU CAN STILL BE STYLISH
When you’re really feeling yourself and looking fresh, it makes all the difference. The secret to style is to feel good in what you wear. When you’re wearing soft scrubs that help you during your workday, you feel more confident. Stretchy scrubs support you when you’re getting the job done!
BENEFITS OF USING MEDICAL
Medical scrubs were adopted to increase cleanliness in healthcare. Before scrubs, nurses would wear ill-fitting dresses and spiffy caps, while surgeons would perform surgeries in their streetwear with an apron. Here are some other benefits of using medical scrubs to help you be your best self:
PROTECTION
Soft scrubs still need to be able protect you from all the liquids might face bodily or otherwise.
COMFORT
Look for a material that gives you stretchy scrubs so that it is comfortable and functional.
FUNCTIONAL
Think about what your day is like. If you’re going to be on call while hopping between different departments, maybe you need heaps of pockets. If you’re only wearing scrubs for procedures, see how the scrubs sit on your body and help you move.
IDENTIFICATION
Healthcare professionals wear scrubs to be easily identifiable to patients and their colleagues. Check with your workplace on the colours that they prefer you to wear.
STAINS
Scrubs are designed to protect the wearer from dangerous spills or bodily fluids. If your work is prone to stains, opt for a darker coloured scrub to keep you looking fresh.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT SCRUBS FOR YOUR BODY TYPE
It’s not what you’re wearing, but how you flaunt it. Look at your current out of shift clothes and see which styles you gravitate towards. An important factor is that scrub tops fit well, meaning that they are not too tight or too loose so that you don’t accidently catch onto something while you’re moving around. If you’re looking to enhance your figure or create a more flattering shape, here are our breakdowns and hot tips:
PEAR or APPLE
Look at bootcut, flare and high-rise pants like our Traditional Jogger to offset wider hips.
HOURGLASS
Try our The Minimalist Jogger to help fit your waist.
COLUMN
Our The Contempo Jogger is a great option if you want to help form the look of a curvier waist.
INVERTED TRIANGLE/ V SHAPE
Look for wide legs to balance your shoulders like our Traditional or Contempo Scrub Joggers.
At the end of the day, wear clothes that you like – as long as it makes you feel fabulous. Follow your hearts, my friends! If a jogger cut makes you happy, if it’s a flattering cut on your body, then end of story. Full stop. Period.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF SCRUB PANTS FOR WOMEN
It all begins with an idea.
When we want to express ourselves or feel a certain way, clothing is usually a good place to start. The clothes that we wear can greatly impact our mood. Think about how wearing a certain colour can make you feel better - maybe you wear blue when you want to feel at peace, but you wear red when you want to command a room. The same goes for what you wear to work!
When asked about your favourite outfit, you probably wouldn’t say scrubs, right? But when there are approximately 262 working days a year, you want to make sure your scrub pants make you feel unstoppable. We’re showing you what to consider when it comes to scrub pants for woman and what to choose to make you feel ready to take on the day. You’re welcome!
CHOOSE HIGH-QUALITY MATERIALS FOR SCRUB PANTS
When it comes to choosing women’s scrub pants, you want to make sure that your pants are the best quality. In the olden days, scrub uniforms would be thick and bulky because it was a requirement to protect employees from any contaminants. Nowadays, the TRS technology for scrub pants for woman is becoming more advanced. This means they can give you the protection you need on the job but give you flexibility and freedom to move.
Your scrubs aren’t like that pair of jeans you only wash occasionally. Due to the medical setting, it’s important to wear fresh, clean scrubs every shift. If the material of your scrub pants is low-quality, this will cause the clothing to pill, wrinkle, stain and wear faster. We really recommend staying away from these materials. You’ll only be able to get a few wears out of them before having to replace them. Then you’ll end up spending more on cheaper scrubs than if you bought a few sets of top-quality scrubs. A high-quality material will be more sustainable for the environment and for your pocket!
