For your convenience, we have selected the five best scrubs brands for 2022 based on an online survey targeting over 120,000 nurses. Read on to see which brand calls out to you and treat yourself to your dream scrubs today!
Figs: Voted All Over Best Scrubs
These scrubs are antimicrobial for anti-odor protection, anti-wrinkle and anti-static, moisture-wicking, and ridiculously soft. The company also offers scrubs with different layers to satisfy every need; some of its fabrics are water-repellent, and others have temperature regulating technology.

The company is also environmentally responsible, using a large percentage of recycled materials. In addition, it gives back through an initiative that donates scrubs to developing countries.
One review is more than enough to gauge just how happy healthcare workers are with their Figs scrubs:
“Wow So I know they’re more expensive y’all. And waited and debated because of that, finally pulled the trigger and the other reviews are no lie. The BEST, most flattering, most comfortable scrub pants I’ve ever worn. The fabric is the perfect thickness, soft, doesn’t stretch out, doesn’t shrink, doesn’t fade , doesn’t wrinkle. It’s kinda magic. I’ve got curves, 5’8, size 16 .. the xl regular fit perfect. Not too tight and not too baggy. They are slimming on me…I’ve ordered more now! Thanks FIGS for giving us this amazing product because this is my daily uniform!”
The company had a great sale over National Nurses Week – which sadly has already passed – but they still offer a 15% discount when you subscribe. Visit Figs today and browse this company’s amazing selection of ecofriendly, stylish scrubs!
