Dissecting Grey’s Anatomy Scrubs Durability, Comfort and Fashion

ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy show is without a doubt one of the most successful TV series. From its first appearance in 2005 to the seventh season, the show garnered numerous awards and nominations for different prestigious award-giving bodies for the show, executive producer, directors, and actors. But while Grey’s Anatomy series airs with its very creative editions, and different groups in the industry continuously recognize its creativity and outstanding talents, a big part of the show goes barely noticed, the costume that’s comprised of the Grey’s Anatomy medical scrubs and lab coats.

See those ceil, jade, and indigo colored medical scrubs worn under white lab coats. Although, overlooked because we see them all too often, these medical uniforms add to the truthfulness of scenes. But compared to the roles played by the in the show, the Grey’s Anatomy medical scrubs and lab coats play their roles in real life. How their fashion make the health care workers look professional, skilled and dependable; how they ensure ease in movement and comfort; and how well they keep up with the overwhelming tasks make big difference.

Let’s look into the details of some of the scrubs and lab coats that carry the name, Grey’s Anatomy.

This is the new Grey’s Anatomy basic scrub top-looking item designed for women. At first glance, it looks like the usual products that are actually wearable by both male and female health care workers. It’s but a v-neck scrub top with two patch pockets, nothing really special that one would instantly say it’s for women. However, if you start running your eyes from top to bottom, you’ll notice that the set-in sleeves attach perfectly for women’s less broad shoulder. And if you look more intently, you’ll also notice that there runs the princess seams, something you won’t see with men’s scrub tops.

Unlike most of scrubs uniforms, which often come in poly/cotton fabric combination, this one is made up of 77% polyester and 23% rayon. Poly is a hard-wearing, low moisture absorbent synthetic fabric that makes it ideal for jobs with such overwhelming tasks. It cannot easily be torn or destroyed by most chemicals and even harsh temperatures. Significantly, mildew and abrasion as well as stretching and shrinking can barely harm scrubs made of largely polyester. The said type of fabric is also hydrophobic, which means easily washed and dried due to its quick drying nature. While polyester works for durability, rayon is there for beauty. Earlier in the clothing industry, rayon was used as substitute for silk because it flows nicely. As expected, the featured Grey’s Anatomy scrub top drapes well.

The next Grey’s Anatomy medical uniform is a lab coat that is fairly fashionable. How? Well, this cotton/polyester peached twill-made Grey’s Anatomy lab coat go a front darts that are matched with back pleats for that shapely look. It looks nice with the notched lapel neatly tucked together with buttons down until the upper hip. And with the two roomy front pockets, with cover flaps that feature a button each, matched with center back belt accentuated with a button at each end, the said lab coat looks even nicer.

The cut sure gives a nice shaping and the details are beautifully done. However, the secret to looking nice in a lab coat does not depend on the style, but on a size that fits one just perfectly. As we know, lab coats are usually bigger because they are meant to be worn over medical scrubs or any other outfit appropriate for hospital work. While a too snug lab coat could choke up your veins, a too big item can make you look like a walking sack. But with a lab coat that fits right, you’ll neither feel uncomfortable nor look awkward.

If you’ve been observant with each season of Grey’s Anatomy show, you’ll notice that even the fashionable health care fellas don’t bother much with how they look in the hospital, while they are in their scrubs and lab coats. As long as their uniforms fit well, they will be ready to face each and every long day of work. But what if you’ve got option to look good even while at work?

Freedom to wear whatever style of medical uniform largely depend on the hospital administration, as there are those that really need some strict rules to keep things identifiable and organized. For those that allow wider options, Grey’s Anatomy has also designed medical scrubs to cater to their preferences. Let’s have the 41228 Grey’s Anatomy scrub top dissected to see if the manufacturer gave the name justice.

What can be considered stylish with 41228 GR scrub top are the short set-in sleeves with slight shirring, the three buttons running down to the upper midriff section where another notable accent is added, the mock placket front buckle, and, that’s it. It’s rather a simple v-neck fashion scrub that shows modest femme look than overly-decorated scrub top. It would look nice with the young Grey, Dr. Lexie.
