New Year, New Scrubs!

Start out strong in a fresh set of scrubs that will ensure you feel as good as you look. From fit to fabric and the finer details, find out how to make the right choice for your needs.

1. Find your perfect fit

If you’re a healthcare professional, you’ll know by now that not all scrubs are not created equal. And while comfort and freedom of movement is key of course, that doesn’t have to mean resorting to traditional boxy shapes and baggy, oversized garments. Designed correctly, style-conscious cuts that are equal parts functional and flattering will make you look and feel your best, while helping you perform at your peak. It’s why NNT’s Next-Gen Antibacterial Active range has become an instant best-seller.

These athletic designs are streamlined but never restrictive and feature stretch waistbands, tapered legs and slimline shaping for a fit that’s equal parts sporty and relaxed. Imagine your favourite loungewear that’s also ready to work. For women, the Next-Gen Antibacterial Active Blackburn Mandarin Collar Scrub Top and Westerman Jogger Scrub Pant offer a contemporary cut that’s fit for purpose. Meanwhile, the Next-Gen Antibacterial Active Doherty Mandarin Collar Scrub Top and Kretser Jogger Scrub Pants deliver a flexible unisex fit that’s great for men, or if you prefer a roomier vibe.

2. Research the fabric

When you’re wearing scrubs most days of the week, the material they’re made from is really important. Stretch, breathability and ease of care will make a big difference to your everyday. It can also get a little chilly in medical environments, so a fabric that feels soft and comfortable against your skin makes a great choice. Moisture-wicking capabilities will ensure that you keep your cool when you’re on the run, while antibacterial protection will leave you feeling fresher for longer – which is especially important on those busy days.

We’ve crafted our Next-Gen Antibacterial Active range from an NNT-exclusive, high-quality fabric that’s unlike anything else in the industry. Woven from a unique blend of fibres, the material offers stretchy comfort plus extra durability. The technical poly-cotton blend features Elastane for extra stretch, while the inclusion of 34% natural cotton promotes softness and breathability.



LOOK PROFESSIONAL, WASH AFTER WASH.



When you’re on the front line, extra protection is always important, so we finish all our premium Antibacterial scrubs with Polygiene® technology. This is a unique antimicrobial treatment designed for the healthcare sector that works to prevent odour and bacteria, to leave the wearer feeling fresher for longer. It’s designed to be effective throughout the garment’s lifespan, meaning that handy antibacterial protection won’t disappear after a just wash or two. And on the subject of regular laundering, pill-resistant, colourfast fabrics are the ones to look out for when it comes to shopping for scrubs. They’re purpose-built to last the distance and keep you looking professional, wash after wash.

OUR SCRUBS OFFER INBUILT ANTIMICROBIAL TECHNOLOGY CALLED POLYGIENE® THAT WON'T WEAR AWAY.


 

3. Have fun with colour and print

Who says scrubs need to be super serious? Choose a trending colour like our bold cobalt blue to brighten the day. Alternatively, mix and match tops and bottoms, look out for contrasting panels or pick a print with personality. For something special, consider NNT’s Water Dreaming and Warlu Indigenous Scrub Top. These unisex, V-neck tops feature intricate designs created in collaboration with local Indigenous artists. Eye-catching and vivid, these special styles will elevate your workday, every time you slip them on.

 

4. Be detail driven

They might be small, but even the most subtle design features can make a big difference to how you feel in your scrubs. From a perfectly positioned ID loop to an invisible pocket to hold your essentials, little details can brighten your day. Look out for inclusions such as a wide, stretchy waistband with inbuilt draw cord so you can customise the fit of your scrub pants while staying comfortable. Side vents in a scrub top will maximise movement and airflow, while preventing clinging. Bright toggle, loops and pulls make it easy to identify storage while adding a sense of fun to serious designs. Stretch-rib cuffs will keep pants snugly in place while sitting perfectly with sneakers or work shoes and preventing trip hazards.

At NNT, our design team works collaboratively with healthcare workers to road-test our scrubs in real-life scenarios – it’s how we make sure the pockets are in just the right spot, the fabric offers the ideal amount of stretch and the styles slip on with ease. It’s also how we ensure NNT scrubs are the best in the business.
