How to Look Cute in Scrubs

Scrubs are a set of clothing that is typically worn by health care personnel because they are comfortable during long shifts and can be thrown away if damaged or dirtied. The name "scrub" is used because they were initially only used by surgeons who were "scrubbing in" in preparation for surgery. Their use spread through health care facilities as a method of maintaining cleanliness within hospitals. When everyone in the hospital is wearing similar attire, it can seem difficult to stand out and look cute. A few simple touches can turn drab scrub clothing into a cute outfit.

Instructions

• 1

  Try on different styles of scrubs. Crossover-style scrubs accentuate natural curves of a woman's body to give the body a more three-dimensional look. Scrubs with fitted sides will slim your figure. Tunic-style tops are more fitted at the top and gently flow outward, which can create a flattering figure for those that may be smaller on top than bottom.

• 2

  Purchase scrubs that are the proper size. Oversized scrubs will make you appear larger than you really are. Scrubs that are too tight may accentuate areas which you do not wish to accentuate.

• 3

  Wear monochrome scrubs. Wearing all one color will make you appear long and lean. This is especially true concerning dark-colored scrubs, such as black or navy blue. Colors or prints can break up your body in an unflattering manner.

  Accessorize your outfit. Wearing earrings can brighten your face. A fun hair clip can also make you look cute and is a practical way to keep your hair out of your way while you are attending to patients. Some companies produce intricately designed necklaces intended to hold badges that need to be displayed by health care employees.
