When it comes to ordering custom scrubs, the right fit can make all the difference in comfort, performance, and professionalism. At Zenir Scrubs, we’re dedicated to helping healthcare professionals find scrubs that fit their unique body shape perfectly. Use this guide to take accurate measurements, choose the right style, and understand the importance of fabric when selecting scrubs.


Accurate Measurements: The First Step to the Perfect Fit

Getting precise measurements is key to finding the right size. Here’s a guide to measuring yourself or a colleague for accurate sizing:

  1. Bust/Chest: Measure around the upper torso at the shoulder blades and across the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level.
  2. Waist: Measure at your natural waistline, usually just above the belly button.
  3. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips with your feet together.
  4. Inseam: Measure from the inner thigh (starting at the groin) to the desired pant length.
  5. Outside Leg: Starting at your natural waist, measure down to where you’d like your pant leg to end.
  6. Height: Stand straight without shoes, and have someone measure from the top of your head to the floor.

By using these measurements and comparing them to our size chart, you’ll be able to select scrubs that are tailored for you—no guesswork needed.

Consider Unique Sizing Needs

Your measurements may reveal that you need a specific size category for the best fit:

  • Petite: If you’re 5’4” or shorter, consider petite sizing to avoid extra fabric that could hinder movement.
  • Tall: For those 5’7” and above, tall sizes provide additional length where it’s needed.
  • Plus: Individuals who wear size 2XL or above can find a more comfortable, flattering fit in our plus-size options.
  • Big/Tall: Men or women who typically wear 2XL or larger can benefit from Big/Tall sizes designed with balanced proportions.

Selecting scrubs from the right size category can make a world of difference in your comfort and confidence.


Scrub Style and Fit: Find What Suits You Best

Scrubs come in a range of styles, each offering a unique fit. Some styles provide a looser fit, while others have a tailored, contoured design. The more fitted the scrub style, the more precise your measurements should be for the best appearance and mobility. Zenir Scrubs offers various fits to accommodate different preferences:

  • Modern/Slim Fit: A closer fit that contours to the body for a sleek, professional appearance.
  • Classic Fit: Relaxed through the shoulders and hips for a comfortable, roomy feel.
  • Oversized Fit: Provides a roomy, relaxed silhouette for a laid-back, casual style.

Considering your body shape and preferred fit will help ensure your scrubs feel as good as they look.


The Role of Fabric in Sizing and Fit

Fabric type impacts fit, durability, and comfort. Zenir Scrubs are crafted from high-quality materials that balance flexibility and longevity. Fabric blends with a touch of spandex, for example, offer added stretch, which can help you move more freely. Cotton/polyester blends are less likely to shrink after washing, ensuring a reliable fit over time.

For those who prefer stretch in their garments, opting for a scrub with spandex or similar materials can provide greater range of motion. Keep in mind that certain fabrics may shrink slightly after washing; if this is a concern, consider sizing up or selecting a shrink-resistant blend.


Details That Make a Difference

Small design details can also influence fit and comfort. Here are a few features to look for in Zenir Scrubs:

  • Side Vents: Tops with side vents allow more movement, making it easier to find a close but comfortable fit.
  • Drawstring Waists: Pants with adjustable waists provide a customizable fit that adapts to your body.
  • Inseam Options: Selecting the right inseam length is critical for comfort and a polished look. Brands that offer inseam options allow for more precise fitting scrub pants.

By paying attention to these details, you can ensure that your scrubs accommodate your movements while maintaining a tailored look.


Choose the Right Length

Length is crucial for both comfort and professionalism. Scrub pants that are too short can expose skin to hazards, while overly long pants might cause tripping. Finding the right length allows you to move freely and safely. 


Check Reviews for Sizing Insights

Reading customer reviews is a great way to learn about the fit of different brands. Reviewers often mention whether the scrubs run true to size, large, or small, providing valuable insights for choosing the right size.
