Mix and Match Scrub Suit Pieces: Dos and Don’ts
Now that nurses don’t have to wear the same plain uniform as before, it can be quite exhausting to think about what goes with what. Of course, there are people with the innate ability to mix and match styles without going overboard. But there are also people who are hopeless when it comes to fashion. If you are one of the latter, you may want to read the following tips.
As a general rule of thumb, when you’re mixing and matching different scrubs pieces, it’s always a good idea to start with the colors. Of course, this is not the only consideration. However, if you are just starting out, you must first comply with these rules.
Dos and Don’ts of Mixing Scrubs
Brilliant outfit, good day!
DO mix yellow with white when opting for a fresh finish. Remember that bright colors like yellow are known to improve mood and attract positive energy. This could be what you need if you’re on your way to a long shift.
DO NOT mix your bright color with several brighter colors. In other words, don’t use too many bright colors. When you’re wearing a brighter shade of yellow, it’s best paired with a more neutral shade like brown or dark green.
Blue is IN.
DO mix blue scrubs like you would a pair of jeans. This is one of the neutral colors, so you can make your outfit more fun by combining it with a bright or printed scrub top. Colors that would look great with blue scrubs are light green and purple. If you are not a fan of orange, you can find a way to soften it by wearing blue scrubs. Other than that, blue has always been identified to create a calm mood. This would go well when you are expecting a busy day ahead.
DO NOT rush to wear any shade of orange blouse with a blue blouse. Although deep orange can be advantageous, a brighter shade of orange can make you look cheap.
The little black scrubs
DO mix the black scrub top or bottom with any color of your choice. We all know that black combines very well with practically everything. But if you want to be sure, these are the colors you can combine it with: grey, bright green/blue and purple.
Do NOT allow yourself to be identified as a goth nurse. You can avoid this by wearing alternating colors with your black scrubs. Remember that black creates a depressive mood and can affect the people around you.
greens are healthy
Wear green more often. Greens are associated with health and vitality. As well as having a positive effect on other people, this can also give a youthful glow to anyone who wears it. You can use bright green colors with dark blue, red and brown.
DO NOT use too many earth tones as they are also identified with melancholy.
