The neckline changes the whole feel of a scrub top. Here's how the three main styles compare.
V-neck: the classic
The V-neck is the traditional scrub neckline. It's easy to pull on and off, layers well over an undershirt and flatters most body shapes by lengthening the neck. Try the women's Atelier or the men's athletic-fit Element.
Mandarin collar: modern and polished
A mandarin (band) collar with a short placket gives a crisp, contemporary look that's popular in dental, specialist and front-of-house roles. It offers a little more coverage at the neckline when you lean forward. See the women's Contour.
Crew neck: relaxed and practical
A crew neck sits higher and feels like a well-structured tee. It's comfortable, covers well when you bend and suits clinicians who prefer a relaxed look. Try the men's Axis.
How to choose
- Want maximum coverage when leaning over patients? Mandarin or crew.
- Prefer a classic look that layers easily? V-neck.
- Unsure? Check what your colleagues wear and what your uniform policy allows.
Whichever you choose, pair it with any pant for a $100 set.
