4 FIGS Scrubs for Women Worth Buying: Fit, Price, Sales

The best FIGS scrubs for women depend on how you work. The Catarina top ($42) suits nurses who want one dependable everyday top. The Kade straight-leg pant ($52) suits anyone who prefers a classic cut. The Isabel wide-leg pant ($58) is for a relaxed, current look. The Zamora jogger ($52) is for people who want a tapered ankle on a busy floor. A good pick matches your preferred fit first, your color second, and the sale price third.

Shopping for FIGS is harder than it looks. You can't try pieces on in a store, the catalog repeats names across tops, pants, and underscrubs, and each cut comes in several rises and colors. At $42 to $58 per piece, a wrong order costs real money. This guide sorts out four styles, how each one fits, what each costs, and how to pay less.

We make scrubs too. Blue Sky Scrubs has designed medical apparel in Austin, Texas for over 20 years, so we know what separates a scrub that survives 12-hour shifts and repeated washes from one that doesn't. Where an alternative makes more sense than FIGS, we say so.

1. Catarina Scrub Top

The Catarina is FIGS's core women's scrub top, and the safest first purchase if you are building a work wardrobe. FIGS lists it at $42, the same price as the Rafaela and Casma tops.

Fit and fabric

Catarina is the top without an "oversized" label, so expect a regular cut rather than the roomy shape of the Rafaela. FIGS says its scrubs use FIONx fabric, which it describes as soft, moisture-wicking, anti-wrinkle, and odor resistant, with true four-way stretch. Those are the brand's own claims, so judge the fabric once it arrives.

Colors matter more than most buyers expect. Black and Quiet Navy sit in FIGS's Core palette, which the brand positions as its permanent range. Check your facility's dress code before you order, because a required color narrows your choices fast.

Start with Catarina if you want the least risky FIGS top.

Price and who it suits

At $42, Catarina is the cheapest way into the brand. It suits nurses, techs, and students who want a straightforward top that pairs with any pant on this list.

If you like room through the body or plan to layer an underscrub, look at the Rafaela instead. It costs the same, so the choice comes down to fit alone.

2. Kade Straight-Leg Scrub Pant

Kade is the classic-cut pant in the FIGS lineup, and at $52 it sits in the middle of the price range. FIGS also sells a high-rise Kade, so you can choose your rise.

Fit and fabric

The straight leg falls from hip to hem without tapering. That makes it the most traditional silhouette here, and the easiest to wear with any shoe. Its product page files it as a cargo-style pant, so check the page for pocket layout before you buy.

Black and Quiet Navy are both listed for the Kade. The same FIONx stretch claims apply, so the pant should move with you when you squat or kneel.

Choose Kade when you want a neutral cut that never looks dated.

Price and who it suits

Kade suits anyone who dislikes trendy shapes and wants pants that look the same in three years. Paired with Catarina, it makes a $94 set.

It is also a sensible test purchase. If you are unsure about FIGS sizing, a $52 pant costs less to return than a full set.

3. Isabel High-Rise Wide-Leg Scrub Pant

Isabel is the fashion pick of the four, and at $58 it is also the most expensive. It appears in FIGS's featured picks in Ruby Red, Quiet Navy, Espresso, and Black.

Fit and fabric

The high rise sits at or above your natural waist, and the wide leg gives you room through the thigh and calf. Anyone who finds fitted scrub pants restrictive will notice the difference right away. The tradeoff is hem length. A wide leg that is too long drags and picks up whatever is on the floor.

Check whether the available lengths match your height before you order. Wear the shoes you work in when you try the first pair on at home.

Wide-leg pants live or die on hem length, so check it before you check the color.

Price and who it suits

The $58 price is $6 above Kade and Zamora. Pair it with Catarina and the set costs $100.

Isabel suits people who want comfort and a relaxed look, and who work in settings where a looser leg is practical. If you spend long stretches running between rooms, a tapered pant may suit you better.

4. Zamora Jogger Scrub Pant

Zamora is the jogger option, priced at $52, with a tapered leg that ends in a cuffed ankle. FIGS sells several versions, including a high-rise jogger and a ruched jogger at a mid rise.

Fit and fabric

A jogger hem stays clear of the floor and your shoe covers, which makes it practical on wet or busy units. The high-rise version's product page names a yoga-style waistband, which tends to feel gentler through a long shift than a firm drawcord waist.

Because the leg is narrower, sizing is less forgiving than with Isabel. Measure your hips and thighs, then compare them with the size chart.

Pick Zamora if hems, shoe covers, or constant walking are your daily problem.

Price and who it suits

Zamora costs $52, so the Catarina and Zamora set also comes to $94. It suits nurses, techs, and anyone who walks miles per shift and wants a closer, athletic feel.

If you prefer a looser leg, skip it. A jogger that is too tight at the calf is the most common reason to send pants back.

Are FIGS worth the price, and how do you pay less?

FIGS are worth the money if you value fit and fabric and wear them several shifts a week. They are not the only way to get comfortable scrubs, and they rarely need to be bought at full price.

Are FIGS scrubs worth the money

Here is what the four styles cost as sets, using FIGS's listed prices:

Bar chart of three FIGS set totals: $94, $94, and $100.

Set Top Pant Total
Catarina + Kade $42 $52 $94
Catarina + Zamora $42 $52 $94
Catarina + Isabel $42 $58 $100

Say you buy three Catarina and Kade sets for a rotation. That is 3 × $94 = $282. If you work one shift a week, 50 weeks a year, each set gets worn about 50 times. In the first year, each wear costs about $1.88 per set. If the sets last two years, that halves. If they pill or fade after six months, the math turns against you.

Should you size up or down

Size by the cut and the size chart, not by habit. Measure your waist, hips, and inseam, and compare them with the chart on each product page, because the cuts differ. The Rafaela is labeled oversized, so take your true size. For joggers and fitted pants, size up if you wear an underscrub or squat a lot. Order two sizes if the return terms allow, and read those terms before you pay.

FIGS built its business online and sells mainly through its own website. That is why searches for FIGS scrubs near you turn up so little. Nobody lets you try them on locally.

Where to find FIGS for less

FIGS runs a last-chance collection called Awesome Today, Gone Tomorrow, with previously launched colors and styles at reduced prices. Shoppers also watch for Black Friday offers. Amazon lists FIGS clearance sets too, so confirm the seller and return terms before you buy.

If you want similar comfort without watching for drops, Blue Sky Scrubs has a women's scrubs sale collection with tops and pants from Grey Label, medleisure, and classic lines. Stock is limited, and sizes sell out. Our technical tops and pants add lightweight stretch, and we offer global shipping and flexible returns.

Buy the style you will wear most first, then wait for a sale on the rest.

Picking your first FIGS pieces

Pick the cut before the color. Catarina is the dependable top, Kade is the classic pant, Isabel is the relaxed pant, and Zamora is the jogger for people who never stop walking. Check the size chart, confirm the return terms, and look at sale collections before you pay full price.

When you are ready to finish the look, add women's scrub hats in bouffant, ponytail, pixie, or tie-back styles. They are a small purchase that makes a scrub set feel like your own.
