Stretch/Fitted Scrubs - TShirt?

Nurses Uniform/Gear

Published

I'm sure this topic has been beat to death, but I've searched and can't find anything, so bear with me!

So I'm searching for scrubs that are fitted and have stretch. I can't stand the feeling of the typical scrub top that swings around like a giant tent. I am pretty heavy chested so I have to get an XL top, even though I could probably wear a Medium elsewhere, or maybe a small large. I'm certainly not looking for something "sexy" or figure hugging, but just much more fitted than your typical scrub top.

Does anyone wear T-Shirts with scrub pants? That would be another option if it's allowed. I guess that is specific to each facility, but it would be good to know what is allowed in other places.

Thanks!

It seems you're asking to go to work in gym wear lol. Honestly, Figs probably fits your description. I'd say they are "fitted" for the most part, but it also depends on the build of your body. If you like stretchy, I'd definitely recommend their jogger scrub pants. Basically looks/feels like I'm going to work in gym gear, but still looks fresh. Figs are known to be pricey, but they do have sales here and there if you're willing to wait.

I've always had an issue with finding the right size scrubs. I would have to go up or down in a size depending on the brand. Figs basically works with the same size as my normal clothes. Am 5'4 with a pretty muscular build so I wear a med top, and small jogger scrub pants and it overall is "fitted" on me.

Honestly, you're not far off - I pretty much live in yoga/jogging pants and tshirts. That would be so awesome to wear to work. They are so comfy and moveable in! I'll look into FIGS - thanks for the heads up!

Cherokee Infinity are stretchy but still look professional and much cheaper than Figs + a wider size range

I wear Jaanuu scrubs and they fit well. I want to try Benefit Medical scrubs after I work out some more, theyre really fitted and professional looking.

Jaanuu makes a bunch of scrubs made out of yoga material, some are even on sale now. Look into them. They also use AfterPay.

I do. But I buy very nice ones from Lands' End that are made of substantial material, have a nice cut and a neckline this isn't "undershirty" if you know what I mean. I also iron them so they look professional. I always wear a jacket of some sort over them although occasionally will remove it if I get overly warm.

Thank you all for your ideas - I'm looking into all these suggestions!

I second Benefit!! They are super comfortable, feel more like T shirt than any other. They are also veteran owned, I believe. 

I also want to post a warning about Affinity Medwear scrubs. They were all over my instagram, so I ordered a set. The royal blue is off from my organization's royal blue, so I had to return. They are basically trying to drag out the return until I forget about it, I think. At first they told me no returns allowed, although the website clearly states returns possible within 30 days. Then they sent me dead hyperlinks to generate return labels, and have now stopped replying to email. No phone number or address is listed on the site. I had to open a BBB claim, and then I found out they have multiple other BBB claims against them. Ugh.
