How to Style Your Scrubs: Accessories & Shoes for a Polished Look

Scrubs are a healthcare worker’s uniform, but that doesn’t mean they have to be boring! With the right accessories and footwear, you can elevate your look while staying comfortable during long shifts. At The Scrub Boutique ULTD in Eatontown, New Jersey, we carry premium Barco scrubs and Skechers footwear to help you look professional and feel great.

Whether you’re a nurse, doctor, dental assistant, or medical student, here’s how to style your scrubs for a polished, put-together appearance.


1. Choose the Right Scrubs for a Flattering Fit

Before accessorizing, start with well-fitting scrubs. Barco scrubs are known for their modern cuts, moisture-wicking fabrics, and stylish designs. Look for:

  • Tailored fits (like Barco’s Grey’s Anatomy line) for a sleek silhouette

  • Stretchy, breathable fabrics for all-day comfort

  • Functional pockets to keep essentials handy


2. Elevate Your Look with Accessories

Small details can make a big difference. Try these accessories to personalize your scrubs:

💍 Jewelry (Keep It Minimal & Professional)

  • Stud earrings or small hoops (avoid dangling ones for safety)

  • A sleek watch with a silicone band (water-resistant & easy to clean)

  • Minimalist necklaces (short chains that won’t interfere with work)

🧣 Comfortable & Stylish Layers

  • A fitted scrub jacket (Barco offers stylish options)

  • Compression sleeves (great for IV insertion and warmth)

  • A colorful undershirt (peekaboo necklines add personality)

👜 Functional & Fashionable Bags

  • A crossbody badge reel (keeps your ID handy)

  • A stylish yet spacious work bag (for stethoscopes, lunch, and more)


3. Footwear That Combines Comfort & Style

Your shoes need to support you through long shifts. Skechers offers healthcare-specific footwear with:

  • Slip-resistant soles (for busy hospital floors)

  • Memory foam cushioning (all-day comfort)

  • Machine-washable options (easy to keep clean)

Top Picks from Our Shop:

  • Skechers Women’s Sure Track® Slip-Resistant Shoes (great for nurses)

  • Skechers Men’s Cankton Slip-On Work Shoes (easy on/off for surgeons)


4. Final Touches for a Polished Look

  • Keep hair neat (a claw clip, bun, or headband keeps it professional)

  • A pop of color (try a patterned scrub cap or fun socks)

  • Well-maintained shoes (clean, scuff-free footwear looks sharp)


FAQ: Styling Your Scrubs

Q: Can I wear makeup with scrubs?

A: Absolutely! A light, long-wearing foundation and waterproof mascara can keep you looking fresh. Avoid heavy makeup for hygiene reasons.

Q: Are there rules about scrub colors in NJ hospitals?

A: Some hospitals have color codes (e.g., nurses in blue, surgeons in green). Check your workplace policy before buying.

Q: How often should I replace my scrubs?

A: If they fade, stretch out, or develop thin spots, it’s time for a new set. High-quality scrubs (like Barco) last longer.

Q: Can I wear running shoes with scrubs?

A: Running shoes work, but Skechers healthcare shoes are designed for long shifts with better support and slip resistance.

Q: Do you offer embroidery for personalized scrubs?

A: Yes! Ask us about custom embroidery for your name, title, or facility logo.
