A few staple uniform colors are your go-to Browns, Blacks, Whites and Navys. You can't go wrong when wearing these simple but stunning colors. Especially when pairing them with your favorite print top!

Black has been, and will always be, a favorite color in practically everyone’s wardrobe... We all end up using it at some point in time! Black scrub pants make for a great foundation to many medical professional’s uniforms. I love the pairing of our White Cross 3-2-1 Wild And Free Crossover Scrub Top and our White Cross 3-2-1 Flare Leg Scrub Pant In Black.

Brown is another must-have color! So many different colors and prints go well with Brown, even Black which I think it is forgotten by many. While I was flipping through our new Fall 2012 catalog I noticed a really fun Print top, the White Cross 100% Cotton Wild Stripe Scoop Neck Scrub Top  which can easily be paired with our White Cross Six Pocket Flare Leg Scrub Pants in Espresso.

White is one color that some shy away from. Possibly because of the age old rule “You Can't Wear White After Labor Day”. But White is a really fun color to brighten up with just about everything and it just always looks crisp and fresh! Another great thing about White is that pretty much every brand has the same shade so you can mix and match without the hassle of trying to make sure you select a top and pant from the same brand. The White outfit I paired has a range of brands including our Grey's Anatomy by Barco Heart Line Lab Coat over top of our Med Couture by Peaches Hidden Accents Contrast Mock Wrap Scrub Top. I would pair this outfit up with a all-time customer favorite the Koi Lindsey Scrub Pant in White.

Last but not least is the color Navy, a great color to wear at anytime and for anything! You can easily pair it with a variety of colors or wear it as a full set. I personally like the all Navy look with a hint of lime green! Our new IguanaMed Dual Swirl Scrub Top and IguanaMed Legend Cargo Scrub Pant both have the small Lime Green logo along with a fun green drawstring on the pants.

These are just a few of my go-to solid colors, I would love to hear what yours are!

 

Grey's Anatomy by Barco: When it comes down to it, we’re here to make a difference. In the industry we love. And in the lives of the people who wear our products. To make their work easier. More productive. More rewarding. And a little less like, well, work.

Grey's Anatomy by Barco Junior Fit V-Neck Scrub Top is hands down one of our top scrub tops! And it's just just one of the lovely pieces offered in this line of medical uniforms.

This top features a junior fit with a mock wrap, two large pockets, set-in sleeves, side slits, button back detail and is made with Dura-Tech 77% polyester/23% rayon with mechanical stretch and moisture wicking and is 25 1/2" long.

Here's a review from our customer Julie from Louisiana:

Favorite Scrubs!

I have been wearing scrubs for work/school for over 15 years. I have been through many styles/brands, but have never been so pleased. The fabric is soft and comfortable and does not wrinkle. They do run a little small, so you may have to go up a size. I have a 36DD bust with a size 28 waist and took a large top and medium pants. Worth every penny, and if you get them on sale...even better!
 

Plaid prints are HOT this season and here at Lydia's Uniforms we have plenty of options for you to choose from. Our fall catalog has the most up to date styles and you'll find plaid print scrub tops from Healing hands, White Cross and Barco Uniforms. Some of the looks are classic, while others are bright and modern, but they're all fashion-forward!

So what do you think of this trend, do you love it or hate it? If you love it, click here to shop all these trendy new prints!

If you love color you have to try Crayola Threads by Barco. When it comes to bright, fun and youthful medical uniforms what could be a better go-to brand than Crayola? Check out the two tops below to see what I mean. Not only are the colors and prints eye-catching, but the fit and features of these medical uniforms are also unique.


If you haven't purchased new summer scrubs yet then I think this is the perfect brand to get you started. And if you get the Kaleidoscope print top (shown on the left) make sure to grab a few different color pants, since it coordinates with so many. Happy shopping and have a great weekend!

Crayola Threads by Barco uniforms help you to show your fun side while still looking professional!
 
A great selection from this line is The Crayola Threads by Barco 6 Pocket Low Rise Scrub Pant, it is comfy and functional. This pant features contrast stitching, drawstring front/elastic back waist, 6 pockets: two front pockets each with additional inset button closure pocket and two back pockets. It is 31 ½” long and made with 60% cotton/40% polyester.


Here’s a review from our customer Cindy in Benton, IL:

 Crayola scrub pants are the best fitting scrub pants I have owned. I got so many compliments on the color.


Check out all of our Crayola Threads by Barco items here.

Barco is known for their quality, fashion-forward medical uniforms and their Grey's Anatomy line is just that!

A flattering favorite is the Grey's Anatomy By Barco Mock Wrap Princess Seam Scrub Top. It feature two pockets, mock wrap, princess seams, front slits, elastic back, junior fit. This top is made with 77% polyester/23% rayon and Barco’s arcLux technology that makes it super soft and luxuriously touchable.


Here’s a review from our customer Leslie in Portland, OR:

LOVE this!

Have this in claret with matching pants and I just love it. Very nice material and super soft. Very flattering! I have washed and worn them MANY times and they still look like new. Well worth the money!

Barco medical scrubs have been a long time favorite and we can see why. They have "The Barco fit": "Barco knows the importance of flexibility, movement and comfort. That's why we're known for "the Barco Fit," an approach to design and sizing, perfected over time, that ensures that your uniform fits and flatters."

A fun and trendy item from the NRG by Barco collection is the Nrg By Barco Inset V-neck Scrub Top. This top features two kangaroo pockets, v-neck with inset, fitted back, DTM twill tape accents and comes in over ten fun colors.  It is made with 74% polyester/22% rayon/4% spandex.


Here’s a review from our customer Sue in Natchez, MS:

Great scrub top

I have this top in the bright pink and it is the one I want to wear everyday! Very soft and comfortable...doesn't bind anywhere. Basically wrinkle free and the color doesn't fade! I have washed mine dozens of times and they still look great. Back for more! The fit is generous but I like that...the pants are also plenty long so I can wear my Dansko clogs! Great scrubs.

Wink describes their line as a line that is "changing standards". They have a trend setting outlook on scrub design and "strive to capture the fresh, fun, and exciting essence of uniforms with our perfected fit, finish, details, and colors, always moving forward to bring you the ultimate experience: scrubs that change your attitude".

A popular item is the Wink Charlie Five Pocket Top. The Charlie Top features a contrasting trim, Wink "Lady" Fit, set-in sleeves, side slits, two lower pockets including one Wink signature triple pocket with hidden mesh pocket (total 5), signature ID bungee loop, an invisible three part accessory loop and is 26 ¼” long.

Here’s a review from our customer Dana in Naples, Florida:

  Great top
I own a few of the different brands of the contrast tops and this is one of my new favorites. I love the length, not too short and not too long. Cute little logo. The gray top with hot pink contrast looks really nice with the hot pink cargos. Received many compliments on these scrubs.

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! That's right, we got our first snowfall at Lydia's Uniforms yesterday. It was around 4-5 inches and, to say the least, I was pretty excited. If you dont live in a climate where there is snowfall, let me just say there is something magical about it.

When the temps fall into the 20's and 30's, one concern is if I have enough warm clothes for the winter. I always get chilly in the office and so I love my long sleeve tees and hoodies. I thought I would share a few of my favorites with you so that you can stock up for those chilly days in the office too!

Flex-stretch By Cherokee Flexibles Reversible Long Sleeve Tee: $17.99










Grey's Anatomy By Barco Dip Dye Tee: $11.99












Peaches Long Sleeve Scrub Tee: $15.99












Urbane Hoodie: $24.99









 

The Grey’s Anatomy designer scrubs line has earned its way to the top of the favorites list! The fabric is unmistakably softer than most scrubs. This high quality line receives rave reviews and the Grey's Anatomy By Barco Junior Fit Scrub Pant is a clear-cut favorite. These pants have received a rating of 4.80 out of 5 from over 15 customer reviews. They’ve been described as comfy, cozy, stylish, pretty, cute, soft, professional, and flattering!

This Junior Fit Scrub Pant features two side pockets, inset pocket, a junior fit, split flare leg, front drawstring waistband and elastic back. It is made with Dura-Tech 77% polyester/23% rayon with mechanical stretch and moisture wicking. The inseam is 31 1/2” for the regular, 29 1/2" for the petite and 33 1/2" for the tall.

Here’s a review from our customer Kathy in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania:

I bought the Jr fit pants in ceil blue, white, brown and navy. I have been wearing them for 2 years now and they still look new!! They haven't faded at all!! Soft and comfortable too!!!

This is a picture of our dental assistants wearing the Grey's Anatomy (Barco) uniform. They absolutely love their uniforms. We have almost every color.

It's no secret that I'm not a fan of the cold, so when temperatures start to drop I immediately unpack my winter clothing. I get out my boots, coats, scarves, sweaters and of course all my favorite long sleeve tees. I love to wear comfy t-shirts with jeans or layer them with other tops for extra warmth and I bet a lot of you do the same! Right now we're currently carrying a few t-shirts at Lydia's that I absolutely love. The first two would work perfectly for everyday wear or paired up with your favorite medical scrubs. And I promise that all three are as soft and cozy as they look, so try one out!

Koi Zoe Thermal Knit Tee




Grey's Anatomy by Barco Medical Uniforms Speckled Scrub Tee




Koi Harlow Scrub Top
This long sleeve tee and scrub top come together. You get two pieces for the price of one and they're already perfectly coordinated. And of course you can wear the tee with other scrub tops or by itself.

There are so many stylish and professional pieces from Barco Scrubs that I thought I would take a poll to see which collection our customers like best. There are four to choose from: Crayola Threads, Grey's Anatomy Uniforms, Moving Comfort and NRG. So which collection from Barco Uniforms is your favorite? Take your pick:

St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner, do you have your green ready? In the U.S. it’s customary to wear green on this holiday and if you don’t follow the custom you’ll get pinched. We don’t want that to happen so get out your green scrubs!

For those of you who want to purchase new medical scrubs, below are a few recommendations.  I particularly like the Barco Scrubs Top on the left; the Keylime color is just right for spring. And if you already have a pair of stylish medical scrubs that you plan on wearing send us a photo, we would love to post it on the blog on March 17th.
