Short answer. There are two easy ways to wear a scrub jacket. Match it to your scrubs (a navy scrub jacket with navy scrubs) for a clean, uniform look, or mix colours (a navy jacket over a black top, a maroon jacket over white scrubs) for a more personal style. Both work on shift, as long as the colours follow your hospital's dress code.

Why wear a scrub jacket in winter

• Cooler mornings and cold air-conditioned wards and clinics.
• An extra layer you can take off between patients.
• More pockets for pens, phone and badge.
• A smarter look for consultations, rounds and teaching.

Option 1: Match your colours

Wearing the same colour from top to bottom looks clean and professional, and it is the safest choice where the dress code is strict.

• Navy scrub jacket + navy scrubs
• Black scrub jacket + black scrubs
• Pewter (grey) jacket + pewter scrubs
• Royal blue jacket + royal blue scrubs
• Caribbean blue jacket + Caribbean blue scrubs
• White jacket + white scrubs

Tip: buy the jacket and scrubs from the same brand when you can, so the shades match exactly.

Option 2: Mix and match

Mixing colours gives a unique look and lets you build more outfits from fewer pieces. Keep one colour neutral (black, navy, white, grey or khaki) and let the other one stand out.

• Navy jacket + black scrub top: smart and easy, for men and women.
• Maroon (burgundy) jacket + white scrubs: warm and elegant for winter.
• Black jacket + royal blue, Caribbean blue or ceil blue scrubs: the dark jacket makes the colour stand out.
• Pewter grey jacket + navy or ceil blue scrubs: soft and modern.
• Khaki or heather charcoal jacket + navy or black scrubs: a modest, relaxed look.
• White jacket + navy scrubs: crisp contrast, close to a lab coat look.

Tip: match the jacket to one detail, such as your shoes, cap or stethoscope, to pull the outfit together.

FAQ

Should my scrub jacket match my scrubs?

Not always. Matching is the safest choice for strict dress codes. Where colours are flexible, a neutral jacket over coloured scrubs, or the other way round, looks smart.

What colour scrub jacket goes with everything?

Black, navy and grey (pewter) go with almost every scrub colour.

Can I add my name or hospital logo to a jacket?

Yes. We embroider names and logos on jackets, scrubs and lab coats.

Do you have jackets in larger sizes?

Yes. The WJ601 comes in sizes up to 3XL and 4XL in selected colours, and 3XL to 5XL are available on pre-order.
