Uniforms and scrubs
By Catalogs Editorial Staff
Today’s medical professional can make their rounds in fashionable uniforms.
Every time you go to the doctor or dentist, there is the familiar and reassuring sight of doctors and nurses dressed in traditional health care attire. In the fast-paced work environment of the medical field, their attire is a symbol of professionalism and cleanliness. For today’s health care professional, uniforms and scrubs are much more than standard attire for surgeries and procedures. They are about comfort, style and function. Scrubs no longer come in a one color – one size fits all, but come in a variety of colors and prints to match the health care professional’s personality.
Florence Nightingale
The traditional nursing uniform was actually derived from a nun’s habit. It consisted of a white dress, apron and cap (think Florence Nightingale) and was the standard wear for nurses until around the 1940’s. Eventually open neck uniforms and white disposable caps replaced the traditional cotton caps. It was in the 1990’s that scrubs (originally white, blue or green) came on the scene. Today with their vast array of color choices and styles, scrubs are as much a statement as they are functional.
Stylish designs and colors
Stylish choices in uniforms and scrubs have come along way since their original design. Typically cotton for maximum comfort, wrinkle free and durable, these uniforms come in an array of upbeat fashion. Here are some of the latest fashion trends for scrubs:
Print Scrub Tops – Bold, colorful prints and patterns. Choose tops that feature a holiday theme, colorful, multi-sized circles and orbs, animal themes, roses or even camo! Whatever your fancy may be, today’s uniforms and scrubs let you express yourself.
Scrub Pants – With the wide range of pant bottoms to choose to wear with scrub tops, it is hard to know where to begin. Choose scrubs that have drawstring waists, elastic waists, flare leg bottoms, cuff leg bottoms and cargo pants. All cotton and comfortable, scrub pants come in many styles and provide maximum mobility for daily tasks.
