I thought this question would be interesting, since our choice of scrubs often reflects on our personal tastes and preferences. So, which types of scrub bottoms do you like?

Also thought I'd put in a plug for the dickies cargo scrub bottoms. The cotton is so soft!

I like the Cherokee flared leg; the ones with half elastic and half drawstring. The fact that they employ vanity sizing is not a bad thing either ;).

Drawstring waist, flared leg. :)

Drawstring waist, cargo, flared bottoms. I just wished that you had the same color choices in tall as the other sizes! I love Dickies too!

I like the half drawastring half elastic flare leg pants. (I voted flare though)

Wow. . . only one voter likes the cuffed-ankle scrub pants so far.

I agree. I love the feminine fit and tailored appearance of Urbane scrubs.

I like the tailoring, but the ones I've tried on are low rise and when I empty foleys I don't want my crack showing.

I only wear unisex drawstring pants. The downside to this is that I have a short inseam (27") and I have to hem them. The petite pants are fine when I'm standing but when I sit (although that's rare so I don't know why I care) they end up at my calf. Plus, they're cheap and come in a lot of colors. I need to get a sewing machine and learn to hem so I can do this myself - my mom does it for me as I tried it once and it did not end well.

I wear flared leg jeans but I don't like them on me in scrubs. I'm short and curvy and they make me look really fat.

Tafford flare leg bottoms. Best fit for short & fat!

I like unisex, drawstring-waist. No elastic.

I actually prefer unisex scrubs all around. No cutesy prints or shirts that tie in the back.
