As is often said, the first impression is the best impression. This idea is particularly relevant to individuals in medical-based settings– including doctors, nurses, physicians, dentists, surgeons, or veterinarians – who consistently encounter consumers or patients on a daily basis. First impressions are not only based upon someone’s smile and attitude, but even more so upon what they are wearing; which in the medical field most often, or always, includes scrub wear.
The problem that currently exists is that the majority of medical professionals only choose scrubs based on availability in big-box stores, which are often cheap, poor quality, nor do they have any sense of uniqueness that the individual hopes to find. This then leads to consistently uncomfortable medical professionals who end up unsatisfied, unhappy, and restless with not merely how they are viewed and feel externally, but also how they feel on the inside.
The psychological truths about what you wear.
While this may seem ridiculous to some, this idea has been psychologically proven by Dr. Jennifer Baumgartner in her book “You Are What You Wear: What Your Clothes Reveal About You,” a wardrobe consultant and practicing clinical psychologist, who says that it is our connection between our clothes and individual self that directly reflects upon our body image, our ability to have pride in ourselves and our work – which connects to our work/life balance – and sometimes our identity and daily attitude.Not only this, but what we wear is also reflected based on more minute external factors that we have control of as a consumer. This could be the texture or design of the uniform, how it fits on their body type, or even the environmental impact and occupational hazards that are unknowingly associated with the national or international manufacturer of the scrubs.
Why custom scrubs are right for you!
Since scrubs are a part of your daily work lifestyle, YOUnique Scrubs, based in St. Louis, Missouri, wants to help you start building your wardrobe of customized scrubs. Not only so you are able to easily find tall, short or hard to fit sizes based on your personal measurements; but to also help you create the best fitting scrubs in your style from a source you can trust for years to come. Not convinced yet? Here are a few reasons why custom scrubs will perfectly fit your lifestyle and professional needs:
1.Tailored to fit your unique size.
Since every body is different, the fit of your clothes truly matters. So when you choose to invest in clothes that are tailored to the specific measurements of your shape and size, rather than generic measurements found in everyday stores, you will find that not only will you feel more comfortable as you perform your everyday tasks, you are also guaranteed to feel more confident in yourself and will project yourself better towards your co workers, consumers, and patients.
Unlike generic measurements, your scrub tops should never show a visible pull across your chest, hips, thighs or stomach; as there should be enough fabric - but not too much - to provide you with an adequate amount of breathing space. The bottom of the shirt should not be too long under the mid-drift, while any pockets should be properly sized and positioned on the chest. Likewise, jacket sleeves should not be too long or baggy so you can properly attend to patients without them being in the way. If either has a collar, such should be the right proportions to stay balanced with the rest of the scrub top’s dimensions, while buttons should be spaced in a way that draws the eyes upwards and pleasantly frames the face. Meanwhile, uniform pants should be comfortable, meaning not too tight around your waist or crotch and not too loose around your thighs or rear.
2. Customized prints, designs, and colors to fit your style.
One of our customer’s favorite aspects of custom tailored scrubs is that you can personalize uniforms or individual pieces. This can range from fabrics, colors (beyond blue, black or white), designs, patterns, and even custom monogrammed or embroidered scrubs. Such allows you to either fit your organization’s required design scheme or branch out into something more fun and exciting to fit your style or put a smile on your patient’s faces.
3. Comfortable fabric that is longer-lasting.
Many of our custom scrubs are available in a wide-range of fabrics. Such allows you to pick and choose the comfort of your clothes, based on the materials that are best for your skin and bodily comfort. Not only this, but since custom scrubs are made to fit your body, they generally can bear greater wear and need fewer repairs or replacements in the long-run.
4. Affordable for any consumer.
While custom scrubs may have a higher up-front cost, the price is always worth it. Not only will you be investing in clothes that will last throughout your medical career, you will also be able to truly feel the difference compared to cheap and poorly made materials found in big-box stores.
5. The ease of online shopping.
In the technology age today, it seems like almost everything can be found or done online, and finding the perfect custom scrubs are no different. While buying clothes online may be daunting, our team of professionals seek to ensure that your online shopping experience is not only pleasant, but also that you are guaranteed the perfect fit without ever walking into a store.
How can we ensure this? Our “How it Works” and “Measurement” sections take you through the step-by-step process of how to accurately take your own measurements. Don’t have a tape measurer? No problem! We will send you one with a diagram of how to properly take measurements to help you get the perfect fitted uniform. From there simply create an account where your measurements will be stored or can be changed, choose your favorite custom scrub wear from our wide-range of products, what type of sleeve length you want for shirts, your choice of fabric and trim, how many pockets, and of course the colors or patterns you want for each section.
6. The ability to purchases wholesale sets.
If you aren’t simply looking for custom-made scrubs for one, we encourage you to purchases scrub uniforms in bulk, up to 30 per product. Buying wholesale allows your hospital, medical center, or health care facility to save money without compromising the quality of the product.
When you have customized scrubs from YOUnique Scrubs, your frame becomes more polished and elongated, making you feel more confident and ready to take on the day’s work.
