As someone who has spent over two decades in the fabric and uniform industry, specifically working with medical apparel, I’ve seen how the right fit can drastically change how healthcare professionals feel throughout their day. For broad or small body types, here are some practical tips that I always recommend (and that we follow closely at Lintex):
Fabric Stretch
A fabric blend with a slight stretch (like spandex) allows the scrubs to contour without clinging. At Lintex, we use breathable, flexible blends that adapt well across body types, which is especially helpful for long shifts.
V-necks with Structured Stitching
A deep but modest V-neck adds a more flattering vertical line, especially for shorter body types.
Pant Rise & Inseam Matter
Small should go for mid-to-high-rise pants with a shorter inseam to avoid bunching. Broad professionals might benefit from pants with elastic backs or drawstring waists that allow adjustment without tightness.
Don’t Shy Away from Custom Sizing
Many quality suppliers, including Lintex, now offer custom sizing for bulk orders. It’s a perfect uniform-sourcing place for those who want everyone to look sharp and feel comfortable.
Avoid Excess Fabric
We also get many requests for scrubs for men, especially those struggling to find fits that aren’t too tight across the shoulders or too baggy around the waist. Our line of best male scrubs includes structured shoulders with breathable side panels, a balance we’ve fine-tuned after working with hundreds of frontline workers.
If anyone needs suggestions or wants to try out our collection, happy to help or guide you to the right fit.
