Finding the right pair of scrubs shouldn’t be a guessing game. At Medgear, we design every piece with real body types, movement, and shift demands in mind, because no two nurses (or workdays) are the same.
Whether you’re buying your first set or building a full rotation, here’s how to pick the perfect fit and fabric for you.
1. Start With the Fabric: Flex vs. LUX
FLEX Fabric; Soft, Super-Stretchy, Made to Move
-
Think of FLEX as your go-to for comfort and flexibility.
-
It’s buttery-soft, lightweight, ultra-stretchy, and great for long shifts and high-movement roles.
-
Perfect if you’re constantly on the move or prefer a more relaxed, breathable feel.
All Sets and our best-selling jumpsuits are all made with FLEX.
LUX Fabric; Sleek, Water-Resistant, Polished Look
-
LUX is our elevated, structured fabric with a more premium feel.
-
It holds shape beautifully, resists wrinkles, and even repels light liquids.
-
Great for nurses who want something durable, professional, and sharp-looking throughout the day.
LUX separates are perfect if you like a more tailored silhouette or a crisp, refined look.
2. Fit Preferences: Fitted, Relaxed, or One-and-Done?
Modern Fit Sets
Designed to skim your body without clinging, our modern fit is true to size with just the right amount of structure and movement. If you like your scrubs clean but not tight, this is your sweet spot.
Scrub Jumpsuits
Our one-piece scrub jumpsuit is a game-changer. It gives an elevated, all-in-one look with no waistband digging, and it moves with you effortlessly. Customers often say they feel like they’re wearing athletic wear, not scrubs.
Tip: If you’re between sizes in jumpsuits and you’re tall or long-torsoed, size up for extra length.
3. Know Your Measurements (We Make It Easy)
Check out our size chart before ordering. It should be displayed on the product page for any item. It includes bust, waist, hip, and inseam guides for every product. If you're still not sure, here’s a quick cheat sheet:
-
Between sizes? Size up for Flex, stay true-to-size for LUX.
-
Tall or petite? Check for inseam measurements on each product page. Longer-length versions are coming soon.
-
Need help? Our customer support team can help you pick the right size based on your height and weight.
4. What Other Nurses Are Wearing
Real feedback = real results. Here’s what some of our customers say:
-
“I’m 5'8, 165 lbs and the Medium Fleur set fits perfectly. Super flattering but still comfy.”
-
“The LUX top made me feel so confident at work and it’s actually tailored and not boxy like my old scrubs.”
-
“I’ve never had scrubs that moved like this jumpsuit. I’m obsessed.”
5. Still Not Sure? Start With a Best Seller
If you’re unsure where to start, we recommend the Fleur Flex Set or LUX Top + Jogger combo. They’re our most tried-and-true pieces, designed to flatter a wide range of bodies and roles.
Once you’ve got your fit down, it’s easy to build a full rotation you actually love to wear.
