Which fabric is the wrinkled look? It looks so light and airy. I've seen multiple people with the crinkled look and I like it. I bought the wrong scrubs last time. I think it's the stretch that is crinkled and the flex that is flat and normal right?

It's the four-stretch. I'm thinking about it too.

I tried them on & they seemed kinda hot to me...like the fabric didn't allow much air circulation. I live in Texas though, so I am always concerned about scrubs feeling too hot.
That was a concern to me as I've never seen them in person....do you find them scratchy? I'm in the northeast so hot isn't as much of a factor, but I've been a Koi girl for some time as they feel more cottony than most poly blend scrubs.
They weren't scratchy so much as just feeling thick & not breathable. I love the Smitten brand scrubs that are a blended fabric with spandex & are wonderful & thinner.
I only like cotton if they feel SUPER soft, like my Dickies Gen Flex or Sketchers top I have.

I am obsessed with wonder wink. I used to be a fashion seal girl for the past 18yrs but my husband bought me wonder wink and I'll never go back :)
Darn. I thought they looked light and flexible. I ordered a pair. I love Jockey's but they can be kind of warm sometimes however they are super soft.
It's all personal preference, but I tend to get hot easily and I couldn't handle the Wonderwinks. Like I said, I love the Smitten brand because they are light, flexible, and allow air circulation. The only thing I don't like about Smitten is that they are newer & don't have a lot of selection.

Wonderwink's Four-Stretch collection features that wrinkled look you're looking for. They're really low maintenance, boast a moisture wicking fabric for maximum comfort and breatheability (perfect for the hot summer months coming up!), as well as mechanical stretch for easy movement. It's really a great buy; medical professionals love it!
