On the Importance of Appearance

There is a missing link in the chain of merit and success, and it is your appearance. It's not ideal, but it is true. It is how our minds are wired. Our peers, patrons, and leaders judge us by the way we look. This puts many factors out of our control, but it puts one essential factor firmly in your grasp—your uniform.

A study out of the Center for Talent Innovation found that a polished, well-groomed appearance is responsible for 35–38% of what others think about you (based solely on appearance). This is the largest portion of all measured factors, including physical appearance, which scored at just 19–16%! Moreover, 12–13% of this total is your clothing.

To this end, we ask: How is your uniform holding up? A simple, stylish, industry appropriate uniform will make or break your appearance—the way you are perceived. If you feel your uniform could stand an upgrade, we can help. Our store's inventory includes everything from nurse and hospital to pilot uniforms at affordable prices. With the right uniform, anything is possible.

Many Benefits of Wearing Unisex Scrubs

Many modern medical professionals may not even remember the days when doctors and nurses wore all-white uniforms, from their caps to their shoes. Despite their history in healthcare settings, white uniforms were eventually abandoned partly because the all-white uniforms, when coupled with stark walls and fluorescent lighting, may have led to eye strain and distraction during surgery. They are also more prone to staining from contact with blood and bodily fluids.

Landau Unisex Scrubs

Green and blue are considered relaxing and balancing colors, so it's no surprise that they are the most common colors of Landau unisex scrubs. In the mid-twentieth century, subdued green uniforms became commonplace in hospitals, which in turn evolved into the scrubs commonly worn by medical professionals today. The benefits of wearing healthcare scrubs are myriad; for one, scrubs are comfortable, which is an important feature in a setting that’s constantly bustling and where work shifts tend to be long.

In many facilities, different colored scrubs offer a way to distinguish and identify personnel based on their department, which is an essential and simple organizational tool no matter the size of the facility. Landau unisex scrubs are available in a variety of colors and may be an especially important tool for pediatric healthcare professionals. Studies show that multicolored uniforms often help young patients feel at ease during treatment.

Stay Stocked on Scrubs

So you work crazy hours and you don’t get that much down time during the day; don’t spend your precious free time doing laundry! Working in the medical field is tough and the hours are even tougher, which is why you should have a surplus of scrubs to choose from when you get ready for work in the morning… or evening.

When you have enough scrubs to get you through the week, you won’t have to hit the laundry mat at 3am so you can be ready for your shift at 7. Everybody needs to recharge their batteries after a tough day at the office, and when your office takes care of people’s health, it is extra important that you are rejuvenated and ready to take on the tasks of the day, instead of regretting not having enough scrubs.

Another good idea is to have a spare pair of scrubs in the car. By making sure you have an emergency pair of scrubs with you gives you peace of mind that you otherwise wouldn’t have. Want to crash at your parents? Run out of scrubs at home? With an emergency pair on you at all times, you have more freedom and you can be more flexible with your time outside of the hospital.

While it may seem like a simple thing to do, the time you save if worth far more than the money you spend by having extra scrubs and emergency scrubs!
