Scrubs are your new wardrobe so you need to be comfy
As someone who has tried many brands, these are my favorites scrubs and styles I always reach for. They hold up well in the drier and stains always come out.
My personal favorite bottoms. They are so comfy. The waist band is soft and adjustable, so I also order a size up for extra room in the legs.
High Waisted Livingston Basic Scrub Pants™
Another bottom I always reach for! Love the wide roomy legs. Also love that they come in petite for my short girlies.
High Waisted Isabel Wide Leg Scrub Pants
Hands down favorite style top! I like the single pocket that does not interfere if I decide to tuck the top in. I also like to order a size up for a comfier fit.
Catarina One-Pocket Scrub Top™
Jackets, Under-scrubs, Compression Socks
I’ve had this jacket for many years but it has quickly become my jacket for in the clinic. It is stretchy and soft and still looks professional while keeping me warm.
Define Hooded Jacket *Nulu | Women's Hoodies & Sweatshirts | lululemon
Has a looser fit for extra comfort and less bunching from scrub top at the sleeve. Love how sleek and professional it looks!
Define Relaxed-Fit Jacket *Luon | Women's Coats & Jackets | lululemon
This zip up is a winter staple for over scrubs. The full zip makes it super easy to throw on and off when things are busy. Provides extra warmth when the define jacket isn’t cutting it.
Scuba Oversized Full-Zip Hoodie | Women's Hoodies & Sweatshirts | lululemon
Super soft and perfect length so no bunching at the waist
Salta Cropped Longsleeve Underscrub
Great option that can also be worn outside the clinic and to workout. These are awesome for super cold days I find they keep me warmer than others.
Swiftly Tech Long-Sleeve Shirt 2.0 *Waist Length | Women's Long Sleeve Shirts | lululemon
As someone who is picky about socks in general, Bombas are the best and softest. They do not make my legs itchy and help my feet not hurt after long shifts.
Women's Everyday Compression Sock 3-Pack (15-20mmHg)
Another awesome compression sock option!
Willow Compression Socks
Clinic bags for all the goods
My current clinic bag. It is so big and fits so much, but is stretchy and comfortable to carry. Love that it zips closed and doesn’t take up a ton of space.
Quilted Carryall Bag
Love the size and look of this bag! Fits a ton and has lots of compartments/pockets.
Daily Multi-Pocket Tote Bag 20L | Men's Bags,Purses,Wallets | lululemon
Cute and trendy bag that is a tote style but zips closed and can fit a laptop too!
