10 great scrubs outfits by color

WHITE

I know white is one of the traditional colors that nurses have always worn. If it’s the color you have to work with, don’t worry! With today’s styles, there’s no longer such a thing as a plain white uniform. This white ruffle top has a feminine touch that will have you feeling pretty while you’re at work. The detailing in the shadow-stripe floral burnout ruffle around the neck and sleeves, the two front pockets and the tie back make this a perfectly charming work top. Try this great pair of white trousers to go with it.

    Great suggestions- love the links so you can see what the description looks like. Also, again I like the way it applies to both male and female nurses. I thought all of these links were great because scrubs can get a bit monotonous, and I love seeing all of the various styles that are out there. I do know a lot hospitals are instituting the system where nurses have to wear one color- this gives nurses great options to choose from to vary their scrub wardrobe a bit. Makes me want to go scrub shopping…

    How about cobalt blue (I liken it to the color of spider veins!)?

    We’ve noticed a trend towards color by discipline for nursing scrubs. We make the most this practice by offering a one stop shop for hospitals at SuiteStyles.com

    MY daughter is trying to become a nurse and im proud of hershe is just 18 and has a long way to go but she is a real go getter.she is now working in a nurseing home and she loves her job.

    Would someone please design scrub tops for the petite woman? Now that the style is longer tops, I having an impossible time finding something that fits – especially if it is the least bit fitted. The waist is down about my hips. Women under 5′ 2″ have approximately 7 inches between their waist and hip not the 9 inches of our taller comrades. Scrub makers please take note……

    Nice idea for an article but we male nurses get 2 choices? Green and black? Really??? When are the scrub makers (and you writers) going to realize that men like colors and fashionable scrubs too? I wear boot cut jeans on my days off, why wouldn’t I want boot cut scrubs, in colors besides navy blue or black?

    Yay Kelly! You’re so right about the under 5’2″ woman and every single scrub top too long and pulling at the hip.
    I also wish there were more designs on softer material…some of those scrubs are oh-so-itchy and starchy.

    Like to order larger qautity of unisex scrubs, white

    Does anyone know of a uniform designer who makes scrub and uniform tops that are a bit longer… to cover a bit more of the buttocks ?

    I have to agree with AL.Thankfully I have a wife who is a good seamstress (and enjoys it!) so I have several scrub shirts with prints that aren’t the typical “male” stuff (i.e., camo, fishing/hunting, etc..er. uh, wait, that’s about it..sigh…unless I want SpongeBob or something, which I would if I was on a peds unit). I have a black with hot peppers (kinda cool and different), a light blue with a sort of tiki pattern, a green junglescape with lizards and geckos, and a killer lightning pattern ala Metallica “Ride The Lightning” (minus the electric chair of course LOL). I opted against the skull-and-crossbones fabric of course, but look forward to having more custom-made scrubs. However this isn’t available/possible for every guy (although my wife would gladly take orders LOL). Not to mention the fact that I don’t think that last black one with the frilly edges and cinched bodice would be too terribly flattering on me…

    I want thicker scrubs,not see through and warmer i freeze all the time in the winter why are they so thin???

    @Karen: 1st, I’ve never seen any “see through” scrubs, and secondly, the solution to your problem is easy: there are these clothing items called shirts and jackets, so you can pick: under or over? I bet you also complain to management about being cold too, while the rest of us are sweating. Bottom line: if you always “freeze all the time,” wear more clothes, cause us hotties can’t take any more off!
