As with many uniforms worn by professionals, medical scrubs tend to have designs that are more functional than fashionable but FIGS is a brand that delivers on both fronts. FIGS makes a range of fashion-forward, functional sanitary apparel for medical professionals in wrinkle-free designs with antimicrobial fabrics. In terms of function, the garments also include cleverly placed pockets, liquid-repelling properties and four-way stretch for the utmost comfort.
Some of the stylish options available through FIGS include collared scrub tops, tailored lab coats, jogger-style and wide-legged scrub pants. As the world of fashion heavily influences the design of the medical styles, FIGS also offers a range of limited-edition scrubs and seasonal colors.
When it came to creating FIGS, Heather Hasson, a former medical student, was inspired by some of the big-name brands in apparel that have defined themselves by creating functional athletic attire.
