I love the look and fit of them. However,they do fit tight,esp around the hip area for me,and i have big hips. It doesnt matter if i order 2 sizes up,the hips still look huge.
Would you all consider wearing them?
All other styles like flare and straight leg make me look 100 lbs larger.
Plus,i got tired of coworkers and pts telling me to lose weight.

I don't know what these are but if you have top that covers your hips/rear and as long as they fit properly (not too tight or too loose) and your employer is ok w/it I say wear what works.

I would and will wear whatever my employer is ok with and I'm comfortable in.

Tight scrubs don't work well for stooping, bending, reaching, etc. It's a great way to tear a hem.
Don't go for just style- go for comfort too!

Tell your coworkers to mind their own business, wear something that moves with you when you bend, squat, walk etc and does not ride up or fall down, and wear a top that comes down to about the hip line so that it camouflages it a bit. Whatever that winds up being for you, buy it, wear it, and ignore what folks say about your weight; if it were easy to lose weight everyone would be the size they want to be.

I would make sure you can bend, kneel, lift, stretch, and twist before buying them. If they look tight, they may rip. Also make sure they do not show underwear lines.

Nurses who wear tight scrubs to work give me the heebie jeebies.
I also do not like the look of skinny pants with shoes. Seeing as how we cannot wear cute heels or sandals to work. They look silly in my opinion.
