Is there a good way to wear a tie with scrubs?

Is there a good way to incorporate a tie with scrubs? I've been wearing scrubs for all of my adult life and I really hate them. I am really a fan of the tunic/smock style that male nurses in the UK wear and I saw at least one person rock the tunic with a bowtie while I was there. What do you guys think?

Ok, inquiring minds want to know....Any pictures with the bow ties? Yes, I am female, but this is kinda interesting

I like this look, but everytime I see a shirt like that, I think about the psych ward...am I the only one?

It reminds me of a dentist, personally. The scary drill-happy sort.

I wouldn't be caught dead in a tunic lol. Not only is it probably the most hideous thing I've seen in a while, but i think wearing it would cause more confusion as to what you do there haha.

You guys takin' this seriously??? C'mon now!

I like that tunic. My wife says its a Star Trek uniform but I like it nonetheless

Only Bill Nye the Science Guy can rock a bow tie. I hate scrubs to the 10th degree. I procured a "rare" Landau style that has a button belt loops, and zippered fly, and actually wear a belt and Danner GTX boots with my scrubs. As much as I'd rather wear other clothes, even at risk of getting human excrement on them, a tie would not be something I'd electively wear with business casual much less slacks.

I usually just wear a pocket T with scrub pants...I'd prefer to wear polo shirt with cargo pants...that tunic looks like a denist

Ever considered 5.11 taclites?

I really like this tunic style, for me I wear a white t shirt that is tucked into to scrub pants with a scrub top on top of it. It's comfortable doesn't show off the chest and looks more professional to me.

I'd be more afraid of some demented or psych patient grabbing the tie and choking me to death with it.

OK - me (old broad) chiming in again with a new idea. Anybody considered ascots? These jaunty accessories could actually be multi-purpose if need be... serving as an emergency towel or absorbent wipe if needed. LOL. I'm really liking the visual, but maybe wouldn't be the same without a pipe.

my husband used to put the scrubs on over his dress shirt and tie when he visited closed units...

Unless your facility has a policy specifying scrubs, there really shouldn't be any issue with alternative uniforms whether they are khakis and polos or even the retro tunic with bowtie.

Go for it!
