Share
Finding the perfect set of scrubs isn’t always easy—especially when shopping online. With so many different body shapes and sizes, it’s no wonder that what works for one person may not work for another. The good news? Many modern scrub brands are now designing with inclusivity in mind, offering styles that flatter all figures while still prioritizing comfort, mobility, and professional style.
This guide walks you through how different brands cater to specific body types—so you can feel confident and comfortable no matter your shape.
👩⚕️ For Women: Fit Meets Function
1. Athletic Build
If you have a straighter frame with a toned physique, scrubs with a contemporary fit will accentuate your shape without restricting movement. Look for pieces with stretch fabrics and tapered seams.
Best picks:
-
Infinity by Cherokee: Mock wrap tops and jogger pants with antimicrobial tech.
-
Allura or Vince Camuto: Sleek lines and sporty cuts for active professionals.
2. Pear Shape
Wider hips and a smaller waist? Choose scrubs with relaxed-fit pants and elastic or half-elastic waistbands to avoid gapping in the back.
Best picks:
-
Skechers by Barco: Known for comfortable stretch fabrics and flattering waist designs.
-
Zip-up jackets help balance proportions and add polish.
3. Round/Curvy
For a fuller midsection or curvy figure, opt for scrubs that offer shaping features without feeling tight. Classic fits with roomy silhouettes and adjustable details are key.
Best picks:
-
Revolution by Cherokee: Tops with princess seams and flexible fits.
-
Luv Scrubs: Comfortable pants with a relaxed waistband for all-day ease.
4. Inverted Triangle
If you carry more width in the shoulders and have a narrower waist, avoid boxy tops and focus on fitted designs that provide shape and support.
Best picks:
-
Allura Select or Vince Camuto: Scrubs designed with broad shoulders in mind and flattering cuts to bring balance to your silhouette.
👨⚕️ For Men: Built for Comfort and Strength
1. Lean Build
Men with a slimmer frame can struggle with scrubs that are too baggy. Look for modern fit tops and tapered pants for a tailored look that still allows movement.
Best picks:
-
HH Works
-
Epic by MedWorks
2. Muscular Build
If you’ve got broad shoulders, a larger chest, or well-developed arms, opt for scrubs with extra room in the upper body and performance fabrics that stretch.
Best picks:

Carhartt: Known for durability and athletic fit with Ripstop technology.
-
Flexible fits that won’t restrict your range of motion.
3. Round or Broad Frame
A relaxed fit is key. Look for styles that offer extra space in the torso and waist while keeping a clean, professional appearance.

Cherokee Men's Scrubs: Designed with comfort, movement, and coverage in mind.
✅ Tips for Choosing the Right Fit

🛍 Final Thoughts: Style Shouldn’t Be One-Size-Fits-All
Your body is unique—and your scrubs should reflect that. With so many brands now focusing on fit, function, and body diversity, it’s easier than ever to find scrubs that support your shape and style.
