World Scrubs Day: Celebrate healthcare professionals in style
World Scrubs Day celebrates the essential role of medical uniforms. Discover why scrubs matter, what makes the best scrubs, and shop bestselling Koi scrubs at Happythreads for comfort, durability, and style every shift.
When is World Scrubs Day?
World Scrubs Day takes place every year on October 9th. It’s a global opportunity to shine a spotlight on the healthcare professionals who wear scrubs with pride - from nurses and doctors to vets, dental staff, and carers.
Why World Scrubs Day matters
Healthcare work is physically and emotionally demanding. Long hours, heavy workloads, and constant patient care mean scrubs need to perform as hard as the professionals wearing them.
Scrubs are more than just clothing. They are:
-
A symbol of hygiene and safety, protecting both professionals and patients.
-
A professional identity, instantly recognisable across hospitals, clinics, and surgeries.
-
A source of comfort and confidence, helping staff get through long shifts.
👉 At Happythreads, we believe scrubs should combine performance, comfort, and style —-not just meet workplace requirements.
What Makes the Best Scrubs?
When choosing scrubs, four qualities make the difference:
-
Comfort – soft-touch, breathable fabrics that move with you.
-
Durability – reinforced stitching and fade-resistant colours.
-
Style – flattering cuts and shades that boost confidence.
-
Function – practical features like stretch, easy-care fabrics, and useful pockets.
