The Ask Liza series on the blog is back for its second week and today I have a question from a reader regarding dress codes. Q. I’m in charge of creating a dress code for the clinic that I work at. What recommendations do you have for where to look or how to get started?? A. Thanks for the question. I’ll try to give you a few suggestions that will make this an easy task and hopefully the result will be a professional new look for your workplace.
To get started, I think you should browse through our Lydia’s Direct Look Book. This mini catalog is made for groups and each page offers ideas on how to coordinate different medical uniforms, colors and prints. Plus, we included a variety of brands and options in the look book since we know that dress code regulations vary from place to place. So start here and see what you think. It’s a great place for inspiration- even if you don’t see an exact look that you want; I bet it will still spark some ideas.
Second, I would recommend browsing through our collection of Cherokee Authentic Workwear scrubs. When it comes to groups, these medical scrubs are our best sellers and with good reason. They come in 32 different colors and there is an enormous selection of basics (prints and solids) for men and women. If you decide to go with Cherokee Authentic Workwear for your clinic it could be as simple as choosing one style and one color for everyone or choosing one color and then allowing employees to pick the style of scrubs that works best for them; you can even find prints that coordinate perfectly with the solid color that you choose.Below is one example of coordinating Cherokee Authentic prints and solids.
I hope that these suggestions get you started as you create a new dress code for your workplace. And if you need more help don’t hesitate to ask!
Do you have your own questions about uniforms? Send them this way and I’ll post my answers next Monday, here on the blog.
Today marks the first day of a brand new series on the Lydia’s blog: Ask Liza. One day each week I’ll be answering all of your questions about medical uniforms and scrubs. Got a question about what’s in style? Here’s the place to ask it! Want to know which size will fit your specific body type best? I’ll give you my personal recommendations. Whatever your question might be, whether it’s about prices, sizing, styles, brands etc., I’ll do my very best to give you a helpful and informative answer. Submit your questions here.
I’m going to kick off the series with a fun question that recently came up. So here we go:
Q:I love having the most fashionable scrubs at my work place and I can’t wait for a new Lydia’s catalog tocome in the mail. What styles and trends will be coming out in your next catalog that I can look forward to?
A:Just last week I was thumbing through the racks of our newest products and there were a couple of looks that jumped out at me. Browsing through these medical scrubs it was clear that prints are going to be huge next season, especially for the fashion forward. I noticed scrubs that featured more than one print, which is a definite style statement. I also saw a very fun top that features a bold, can’t be missed image; it’s completely one of a kind and I love that! Seeing these nursing scrubs showed me that uniform designers are really pushing the envelope to provide health care workers with new up and coming styles.
In addition to the trend of prints there were some unique necklines that I think you’ll like. In my opinion different style necklines provide an easy way to mix up your normal look, while still keeping it basic.
And the third thing that caught my eye was a new collection of medical uniforms from a popular street-wear brand. I don’t want to ruin the surprise so you’ll have to wait and find out which brand I’m referring to.:)
If you have your own question, send me an email and I’ll feature your question in the next Ask Liza segment. I can’t wait to hear from you!
So many of you have told me how much you love Cherokee medical scrubs. I can see why: they’re well-known with a trusted name; they make scrubs that fit great and wash up well; plus they offer something for every medical professional, whether it’s basic solids, designer nursing scrubs or professional lab coats. What’s not to love??
Today I want to tell you about a few new collections that are now offered in Lydia’s Cherokee Superstore and I hope that you come to love these medical uniforms as much as you love favorites like Cherokee Authentic and Cherokee Flexibles. The new collections are: Cherokee Studio, Bamboo Planet and World Adventure scrubs. Each line is completely unique. The Studio Collection is filled with youthful styles and features lots of fun prints. Bamboo planet scrubs focus on sending an eco-friendly message. And World Adventure scrubs are all about using rich earth tones to create fashionable styles.
I hope that you’ll stop by our Cherokee Superstore and let me know what you think about these new uniforms. And next time you buy medical scrubs make sure to keep them in mind!
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month-a month that is dedicated to promoting the fight against breast cancer and raising awareness around the globe. National Breast Cancer Awareness Month has been recognized since 1985 and has steadily grown since then. Each year I'm impressed with the efforts made by my fellow students, co-workers and friends to support this cause and I know that as we move into October I'll see my co-workers here at Lydia's making their own contributions to promote awareness.
In addition to wearing pink, is there anything that you’re doing in October to support National Breast Cancer Awareness Month? If so, leave a comment and tell me about it. Or if you have pictures of you and your co-workers wearing your pink scrubs or working to raise awareness send them in, I would love to share them on the blog.
You’ve told us time and again that Cherokee scrubs are your favorite medical uniforms, so we took it upon ourselves to give you an amazing selection to choose from. We currently offer 400 Cherokee products and that means (I hope) that we have just what you’re looking for. In our Cherokee Super Store you’ll find prints, solids, tops, bottoms, lab coats, stretch scrubs, boutique fashions, you name it!
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by all of these options, let me give you a few recommendations. If your main focus when buying new scrubs is fashion and comfort, try the Cherokee Body, Flexibles or Touch collections. If you like to stick to the basics then you’ll definitely want to go for the Cherokee Authentic line. And if you’re all about style then Studio B scrubs are for you. We also have Men’s medical scrubs and sports scrubs so don’t miss those either.
Well, that’s enough from me. Stop reading and go check out our Cherokee Super Store. And don’t forget that you can get free shipping on orders over $75 if you order soon!
We’ve always had an awesome selection of men’s scrubs at Lydia’s Uniforms, but as of this week it’s now even easier for our male customers to find exactly what they’re looking for. A new page is up on our web site devoted just to men. Stop by and view the entire collection of men's medical uniforms or use it to see what your favorite brand, like Dickies or Cherokee, has to offer. If you’re searching for a new men’s lab coat or shoes this is the place to look for those as well. And the best part is that you don’t have to worry about searching through pages of women’s uniforms to find what you’re looking for. So go ahead, go check it out! I hope this makes shopping simple for all the guys out there!
If you’re looking for the best deal on medical clothing uniforms at Lydia’s I can point you in the right direction. We recently added a Cheap Scrubs section to our web site and it’s stocked full of affordable nursing scrubs, from Dickies, Medgear, Lydia’s and more, that are all under $10.99 (some are even under $5!). In my opinion this top is a total steal. --------------> It’s only 6.99 ($4.99 if you buy 5 or more), not to mention it has 5 star customer reviews. If you prefer something that’s not so basic, you can also find prints, bold colors and more styles on our Cheap Scrubs page.
So go ahead, stock up on scrubs that are affordable. And if you want to share your favorite deal with other Lydia's customers, you can leave a comment here.
When it comes to print scrubs there are so many choices! At Lydia’s we carry everything from tiger and zebra prints to cartoon tops with Dora the Explorer or Curious George. If I had to wear nursing scrubs to work I don’t know how I would ever decide.
Today I want to hear which print tops you choose for your wardrobe. I won’t make you select just one, instead tell me what style you like best and check out the results to see what styles your colleagues love to wear.
It's hard to believe that it's already August and school will be starting up again soon. Hopefully all of you who will be starting or continuing nursing school are excited to get back into the groove and are prepared for all the hard work!
Since we know that starting school can be difficult we wanted to help you out. We decided to have a huge Back to School Sale. We've marked down over 100 products and you can get 15% off all of them. There are popular nursing scrubs from Dickies, Cherokee and Lydia's and even some supplies that you might need this semester. To see what's on sale, click here and start stocking up for a new semester!
As we stocked our web site and catalog full of new products for fall, once again I couldn’t help but notice how many of the medical uniforms were influenced by everyday fashions. Take a look at these two styles below and how similar they are to their designer counterparts.
The first two are vibrant colored solids that both feature the empire waist and the scoop neckline. And I don’t know about the designer look, but I can tell you that the Jockey Scrub Top is incredibly soft!
The second pair includes two tunic style tops that feature can’t-miss prints in eye catching color combos. The tunic style is flattering on almost everyone, which explains why it’s coming back for everyday wear and making its appearance on designer nursing scrubs.
The latest e-zine is out and this issue has a lot to offer. We picked the best of the best from our fall medical uniforms and are offering you our recommendations for fashion-forward nursing scrubs, must-have basics and our best uniform buys for the budget minded. In addition to all that is my favorite part of the e-zine: a special shipping offer that you won’t want to miss. So if you didn’t get this issue in your inbox, make sure to check it out here. Feel like something is missing? Let me know what you would like to see in the next issue of Lydia’s E-zine.
Stock up on scrubs while the shipping is free! We're currently offering free shipping on all orders over $50. That means there's no reason not to buy the new lab coat, nursing scrubs or medical supplies that you need. This offer only lasts a few more days, so make sure to take advantage of it while you can.
Need some help deciding what to buy? I highly recommend checking out our newest products which include some fun basics and prints by Cherokee. I would also suggest shopping the Lydia's Pro-Series line which is currently on sale.
Happy Friday everyone. Shopping for new medical scrubs this weekend? Checkout our stylish Baby Phat nursing scrubs, they’re currently all marked down 15%.
Today I want to send my congrats to Beverly, a registered nurse with certification in psychiatric/mental health nursing. Beverly is the latest winner of our monthly contest and she won by making us laugh with this comment:
An elderly patient was admitted to a geropsychiatric unit. During her assessment, the nurse noted that she was allergic to nuts and indicated this on her allergy band. During visiting hours, her son approached the nurse angrily, "What do you mean labeling my mother 'Nuts'"?
For winning, Beverly has received a $50 gift certificate to Lydia’s Uniforms. She expressed that her dress code requires white and ceil blue nursing scrubs and I’m positive that she’ll be able to find exactly what she needs at Lydia’s.
Congrats again Beverly. And to all our readers, don’t forget to enter this month’s contest for your chance to win free designer medical scrubs.
