What are Athleisure Scrubs?
By Jordie Papa
When it comes to functioning in the fast-paced,
multitasking world of the modern medical professional, it’s sometimes necessary
to step straight from the operating room to the board room, or to run an errand
in the middle of a shift. If you find
your job description frequently changes as the day goes on, your attire needs
to be able to do keep up. That’s why
Athleisure scrubs were created; to allow busy medical professionals to
effortlessly transition from one environment to the other without having to
completely change outfits mid-shift.
If you are searching for a scrubs solution that allows
you to feel comfortable in most any work environment, this new fashion trend
could be just the thing. Several scrubs
designers have joined the athleisure band wagon by adding to their existing
line.
Can
You Have It Both Ways?
I know what you’re thinking. How can you have it both ways. Athletic wear brings to mind gym bags and tank
tops, where leisurewear makes most people think of t-shirts and flip
flops. Obviously, none of these are
appropriate business attire for medical professionals. So, how do scrubs
designers marry these two disparate concepts in a way to create apparel that is
appropriate to wear in any medical setting?
The trick was to come up with styles and fabrics that allow you to feel
relaxed yet professional at the same time.

Cherokee has designed an entire line called Luxe Sport
that epitomizes athleticism while accentuating comfort. The line includes everything from v-neck
and mock wrap scrub tops with matching mid-rise straight leg pants, to warm-up jackets designed to keep you comfortable indoors and out. Featuring a poly/rayon/spandex blend, mesh
side-panels and inset pockets, these scrubs are designed to combine form and
function that is appropriate in any setting.
Another scrubs designer, HeartSoul includes several styles
of athleisure wear in their line. One is
called Pitter-Pat that is made from a poly/rayon blend that features rounded
patch pockets, double needle topstitching, princess seems and side vents. Also note the sleeveless vest with
removable hood, which works great in offices and wards where the air
conditioner never seems to shut off.
Can
You Get Athleisure Wear on a Budget?
If you’re looking to acquire athleisure scrubs on a
budget, our Sanibel line could be just what the doctor (or nurse) ordered. Costing
a third less than many designer brands, Sanibel scrubs provide the comfort you
desire with the fashion you crave. Our
Sanibel Stretch line is made of a poly/rayon/spandex blend that looks and feels
great.
The
Times, they Are a Changing
When you get right down to it, scrubs haven’t changed
all that much in the past 40 years. But
the medical profession certainly has.
The introduction of athleisure scrubs is a welcome change that busy
healthcare professionals should embrace, since they are designed to help them
keep pace with their ever-changing duties both on and off the job.
Uniform Destination offers a complete selection of athleisure
wear designed to help busy medical professionals look and feel great all day long.
