Scrubs style dos & don’ts for your unique physique

BOXY PHYSIQUE

Soften the curves of a boxy figure with certain kinds of tops and bottoms.

Flattering Neckline Scrubs

Flat Front Scrubs

DOs

  • As the area under the bust is the smallest and most flattering part of the body, it’s wise to wear tops that accentuate this area.
  • Wear styles that also provide shape below the bust line.
  • As for pants, it’s best to wear a clean, flat waist style.
  • Soft elastic waists are also suitable.
  • Focus on flattering necklines to take the eye away from the boxy shape.

DON’Ts

  • Avoid super-low-rise pants. It’s best to wear pants that are at your waistline or just slightly below it.
  • Avoid heavy drawstring detail, as it will add bulk around the waist.
  • For boxy figures with slender legs, avoid wide-leg pants.

    I have no butt, big thighs, and a big chest… Any suggestions

    There were a lot of young/trendy fashions featured here. How about something for the older nurses? Also, I know I am not the only plus size nurse in the world. It would be useful to address the needs of women with plus size bodies. I certainly don’t want to be wearing low-rise pants, which would really look sloppy and wrong on an old mama like me, who has a kangaroo pouch!
    A lot of the uniform companies have gone to making shorter sleeves–practically no sleeves at all–and I have to go a size up just to find a scrub top that will fit my arms! It’s sooooo annoying!
