Temperatures are dropping and the colder mornings are beginning to set in, staying warm at work becomes even more important. For healthcare professionals, long shifts, early starts and busy working environments mean you need clothing that keeps you comfortable without restricting movement or getting in the way of your day.
At Scrubs UK, we have a range of winter essentials designed to help you layer up, including lightweight underscrub base layers, cosy fleeces and practical gilets.
The Perfect Base Layer
One of the easiest ways to stay warm during winter is to add a comfortable layer underneath your scrubs. Our Underscrub Base Layer is designed to feel like a second skin, making it ideal for wearing beneath your everyday uniform.
Made from 50% recycled nylon and 50% nylon, the fabric offers breathable four-way stretch for easy movement and all-day comfort. Its moisture-wicking properties help manage perspiration, while the seamless construction reduces bulk underneath your tunic. It also features a natural peppermint deodorising finish to help you feel fresh throughout your shift.
We also offer specialist designs for different healthcare professions, including our Underscrub Base Layer for Medics, featuring a stethoscope design, and the Underscrub Base Layer for Dentists, complete with a tooth design. There is even a version for veterinary professionals.
Layer Up with Our Fleece Jackets
Sometimes a base layer isn't quite enough. Whether you're working in a cooler environment, travelling to and from work or simply want an extra layer between tasks, a good fleece is a winter wardrobe essential.
Our fleece collection includes options to suit different preferences, including the Unisex Fleece Jacket and Ladies' Fleece Jacket. Both offer a practical additional layer to wear over your scrubs when temperatures fall.
The new Onna Agility Panel Fleece Jackets are a top quality addition for this winter. Available in men's (NN800) and ladies' (NN802F) styles, these jackets combine anti-pill fleece with durable Onna-stretch woven panels. They also feature concealed zipped side pockets, a handy bungee holder and a large printable area, making them particularly suitable for professional uniforms and team branding.
A Practical Alternative: Fleece and Softshell Gilets
If you prefer to keep your arms free while adding warmth around your body, a gilet is a great alternative to a full jacket.
Our Work Fleece Gilet is a practical choice for healthcare and workwear environments, with the added benefit of being washable at 60°C. We also stock softshell gilets in men's and women's styles, which provides another option for those who want an extra layer without the bulk of a jacket.
Personalisation and Embroidery
All of our fleeces and gilets are available to personalise. This could be for your own individual use, for example adding your name and title. Or whether you are a manager of a team looking to upgrade the wardrobe and professionalism of a whole team. All of our embroidery is completed in house and tailored specifically to your needs.
We can also personalise baselayers for dentists, doctors and vets. Find out more about our personalisation services here.
Combining a breathable base layer with a fleece or gilet gives you the flexibility to add or remove layers as your working environment changes. Whether you're looking for a new underscrub, a fleece to wear over your uniform or a practical gilet for everyday use, explore our winter workwear collection at Scrubs UK.
