Back-to-work wardrobe checklist
4 min read ยท Scrubberry

A new job brings a new wardrobe list. Here is a simple checklist to start.
Add pieces as you learn what you need.
The core
Start with one or two sets. The Classic V-Neck Scrub Set comes in eight colors and goes up to XXL.
Check your workplace colors first.
The layers
Add a jacket for cool rooms. The Men's Zip Front Scrub Jacket has a zip front.
Wash cool and tumble dry low.
The extras
A spare top gives you a backup. Use the size guide to get the right size.
Build slowly and enjoy it.
Plan the first week
Count your shifts and plan how many sets you need between washes. Many people start with two sets and a spare top, then add more once they know their routine. Lay out the pieces on the weekend, check the sizes and wash them before the first day. Pack a jacket and your essentials the night before.
Keep a note of what you wear each day, so you can see which pieces you reach for most. Add one new piece at a time, like a top in a second color or a pair of pants in a different cut, and your wardrobe grows to fit your work. Browse the scrub sets collection when you are ready.
