How To Read A Scrub Size Chart And Know Which Size Scrubs Are Right For You

Scrubs.

It seems as though you either love them or hate them. 

While it's awesome to not have to think about what you are going to wear each day to work, dressing in saggy, baggy scrubs does get a little old.

And no one likes to feel frumpy at work.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could find a brand of scrubs that make you feel your very best? 

If you are looking for scrubs that you actually look forward to wearing, read on.

Our scrubs size chart can help you find the perfect fit and style to keep you comfortable all shift long.

Reading A Scrub Size Chart: What You Need To Know

When you wear scrubs all day, every day, getting the right fit is critical. 

There's nothing worse than lifting your arm to scan a patient's temperature only to have your stomach peek out.

Or what about making a quick detour into a doorway so you can fix your scrub-pants wedgie?

Have you ever bent down to pick something up off the floor only to have your top ride up while your pants slip down? Can you say “plumber's crack?”

Awkward.

Here is some great news: Scrub companies have size charts.

But did you know that some people don’t look at the size chart when they are ordering uniforms online?

Guilty? Don't worry, a lot of us are. 

If you’re wondering how to know what size scrub you wear, you're in the right place. 

This guide will tell you everything you need to know about scrub sizes and finding your perfect scrubs.

Properly Take Your Measurements

I know, I know.

You're probably thinking “I don’t really need to measure myself, do I?” 

Yup, you do.  

Incorrect measurements can lead to improperly fitting scrubs. 

So, dig out your tape measure, and let's get down to business.

Use the chart below as a guide to measuring your bust, waist, and hips. 

And be sure to jot down your measurements because you will be referring to them in just a minute when we take a look at our unisex scrub size chart.

Scrub Size Conversion—Every Brand’s Size Chart is Different

Now, you might be wondering... “I wear a size large in XYZ brand, so why do I need to take the time to measure myself? Can’t I just buy a large in Silver Lining Scrubs?”

I'm so glad you asked. 

The answer is no.

As with all types of clothing, scrub sizes can vary greatly from brand to brand. 

That means one brand’s size small could have the same measurements as another brand’s size medium, so scrub size conversion relies strictly on measurements. 

Do you enjoy making online returns?  No, me neither.

You’ll have no trouble at all finding your size with us because at Silver Lining Scrubs we offer Petite, Regular and Tall options in sizes XXS - XL.

And that’s not all.

If you find yourself being cold at work, you will be glad to know that Silver Lining Scrubs offers lined scrubs to keep you warm all winter — or in the dreaded office AC.

What Size Scrub Am I? When Choosing A Scrub Size, Charts Aren’t The End All Be All.

Maybe your measurements indicate you should get a size medium top, but you feel more comfortable with a somewhat roomier fit. 

Or maybe you feel your best when your clothes are a bit more snug and form-fitting.

Either way, Silver Lining Scrubs has got you covered. 

While looking over our unisex scrub size chart is important, it is not the answer everyone is looking for. 

For this reason, you will want to be sure to consider your personal comfort, as well as size. 

After all, you'll be running around in these scrubs all day. 

Or all night.

Scrub Sizing Based On Body Type

The truth is, everybody has a different body type. 

And everybody deserves to wear scrubs that flatter their own unique figure.

There are five basic body types: 

  • Hourglass

  • Apple

  • Triangle

  • Inverted Triangle

  • Athletic

At Silver Lining Scrubs we offer scrub sizes for every body type so it is easy to find a great fit that keeps you feeling comfortable and confident all day long. 

And there won't be any worries about the cooler temperatures at work affecting your productivity. Our lined scrubs will keep you warm - and keep your style on point.
