Hello, all!
I'm just in search of advice as I start my search for comfortable, long-lasting, and (hopefully) affordable scrubs. Would you all recommend shopping in person in a store or shopping online? What are some pros and cons? What are your favorite brands? Any advice whatsoever would be appreciated!
Thank you!

If you have access, start with a store so you can try different brands on. Sizes vary like crazy between different brands, and even if they feel great and are sized right, they can still feel "off." For example, I love Koi, the Medium tops are great but the Medium pants, though they fit well in the waist, are very baggy in my butt region and make my hips feel like I'm swimming in a bag. Greys Anatomy have been my go-to, but they even have variation. I have 2 pairs of Medium sized pants from them that fit totally differently; one is baggy and other form fitted.
Scrub shopping online is fantastic once you know your brand and size. One last tip...if you have any wiggle room in your budget, splurge for an outfit or two that is really comfortable. Shifts go by way more quickly when you are comfortable. Have fun!
