3. Patterns With Solid Scrubs = Instant Style

• Geometric lines

• Seasonal prints

• Retro designs

This approach lets you express individuality while keeping scrubs professional and simple.

4. Match Pattern Colors With Scrub Colors

If your scrub cap has multiple colors in the pattern, choose scrubs that match one of the accent colors.

Example:

• Black

• Tan

Great for clinicians who rotate between multiple scrub colors.
