Fashion in Healthcare
Fashion is always changing, slightly elusive, and extremely appealing. It has the power to transform an image and make a social statement. It is a communal art, through which a culture examines its notions of beauty and goodness through textiles, form, and colors. It refers to styles of dress that are popular in a culture at any given time.
What's In and What's Not?Are you familiar with these names: Cherokee, Dickies, Baby Phat, Laundau, Threads of Change?These are just a smattering of the multitude of names that are found in the uniform industry. They all provide the basic scrub top in addition to the newest styles that can compliment your size, shape, and color. White is no longer the mode of fashion. Not in these times of great diversity. 
So what is fashionable, and what works?We want to explore how the idea of fashion, if it even does so, affects your world and what you wear to work. Beyond wearing something that is clean and matches, what compels you to pick what to wear that day? Do you pick out colors based on your personality traits? There are some nurses that wear some pretty crazy, loud prints that state, "Hey! I'm here!" While there are those that are more laid-back and offer a splash of art that differentiates them from the rest of the crew. There is more to your uniform than color-matching. There is also the element of colors and healing. Nurse uniforms vs. scrubs

With a focus on security measures and identification of staff, mandatory uniforms are becoming the "in" thing again. Was it really ever out? What is surprising is the "give and take" relationships that corporations, clinics, and offices have with their employees. I have observed though that when a hospital or clinic gets it right from the get-go, it is a seamless process and there is not much issue. It gives everyone a unified sense of working as a team. This puts the focus on productivity and less on creativity. Wearing what feels good and why it's importantSmart and practical fashion tips at work can make the difference between looking professional and stylish and looking scattered and unsure. It is important to understand what is appropriate for the job and the image you want to portray. When you wear work attire that represents good taste, style, and fit, your personality shines. And when you look your best, you create an environment of confidence and positivism.
People often have problems making sure their clothing is comfortable. They may have problems finding attractive clothing in styles that don’t bind or pinch. It can be a challenge to get clothes that feel good, but its so well worth it. You only have one body. Shouldn't you feel good in it? Designers are beginning to realize shoppers want to wear great clothes and have finally come around to the idea that it is a specialized market. A shopper should look for what’s comfortable, what feels good, what looks good and should take care of the clothing purchased. This will help any person feel more comfortable with everything he or she buys.
