Jogger scrubs vs straight leg
4 min read · Scrubberry
Straight leg and jogger scrub pants both do the job. They just look and move a little differently.
Here is how they compare.
Straight leg
A straight leg hangs evenly from hip to hem. It is the classic look and goes with any shoe.
The Classic V-Neck Scrub Set has a V-neck top and straight pants.
Jogger
A jogger has a cuffed ankle, so the hem sits neatly above your shoes. The Jogger Scrub Pants has a drawstring waist and a cuffed ankle.
The cuff keeps hems off the floor.
Which to pick
Like a clean, traditional line? Straight. Like a sportier, tidier hem? Jogger.
See the matching set in the Jogger Scrub Set, or browse the scrub sets collection.
Think about your day
Do you spend the day on your feet, climbing stairs or kneeling? A cuffed ankle keeps the hem off the floor and out of the way. Do you like a classic line that matches any shoe? A straight leg does that. Check the inseam in the size you plan to order, and compare it with a pair of pants you already own and like.
