Fabletics Launches Stylish ‘Activewear Scrubs’ For Medical Workers’ Comfort
By Alexa Heah, 22 Feb 2023
For those who wear scrubs to work every day, it can be difficult to make the garments feel fashionable or comfortable.
To change this, activewear brand Fabletics has launched its own line of fitness-inspired scrubs, claiming that many of its customers had actively requested such a product. In fact, the company found out that 300,000 of its two million members wear scrubs to work on a daily basis.
While you might associate the getup with doctors and nurses, a whole host of other occupations rely on scrubs, including veterinarians, aestheticians, and even chefs. Why not create a version of scrubs that can make these valuable employees look good and feel good?
That’s exactly what the firm set out to do, even going so far as to engage in research with hospitals and surgery units to understand more about specific dress codes, colors, or silhouettes so that it could offer customers all of those options in its scrubs range.
In addition, Fabletics sought the insights of over 6,500 members who were familiar with wearing scrubs, before selecting fabrics that draped well and offered good stretch based on the comments it received.
The collection, which will officially launch on February 22, 2023, will comprise scrubs in sizes ranging from XXS to 4X, three different inseams to cater to different body types, and special pockets that are large and strong enough to hold stethoscopes or tablets.
On offer are tops, bottoms, under scrubs, and jackets in eight different colorways, suitable for both men and women. As per the firm, each piece is made with performance-grade fabric that is both lightweight and breathable, with functional details for convenience on the job.
Noting that nurses, doctors, and other scrub-wearing workers lead active lifestyles, the company decided to incorporate its activewear performance features into the garments—such as sweat-wicking and antimicrobial properties—so that they can be worn from work to the park.
To mark the launch of the new range, Fabletics will donate scrub sets to 25,000 medical professionals across the country. Members looking to buy the pieces can do so from US$29.95 to US$69.95, with an entire scrub set priced at US$64.90—all of which can be personalized.
