Scrubs are more than just uniforms – they’re a vital part of professional identity in healthcare. Whether you’re working in a hospital, clinic, care home or private practice, colour scrubs can reflect your role, your team and even your personality.

At AWB, we understand that choosing the right scrubs isn’t just about fit and fabric – it’s also about colour. That’s why we’re launching a new blog series exploring the most popular scrub colours worn across the UK healthcare sector. From classic black to calming lilac, each article will dive into the meaning, usage and styling tips for a different colour.

What to Expect from the Series

Each post in this series will cover:

  • Who wears the colour – including NHS guidelines and private sector trends
  • Why it’s chosen – from stain resistance to psychological impact
  • Styling tips – including matching tops and trousers, brand recommendations and fit advice
  • AWB’s range – highlighting our most popular products in each colour

Whether you’re a nurse, vet, dentist, therapist or care worker, this series will help you find the right colour for your role and your wardrobe.
