Like many of you, I'd been eyeing this color for ages, and when I finally got my hands on a set, it was pure joy. There’s just something about the deep, rich brown of the FIGS Espresso Scrubs that feels incredibly professional yet also super stylish. It's not just another neutral; it truly stands out without being flashy, and I always get compliments when I wear them.
The first thing you notice with FIGS, beyond the gorgeous color, is the fabric. It’s that signature buttery-soft material that makes you feel like you’re wearing pajamas, not work attire. For those long, demanding shifts, comfort is non-negotiable, and these scrubs deliver. They move with you, don't restrict, and somehow manage to look crisp even after hours of running around.
Let's dive into sizing, because I know that's a big one for many of us. For reference, I personally found that a FIGS Top Medium Pants Large Petite was my perfect fit. I often find FIGS tops run a little more fitted, so going with a Medium gave me enough room without looking baggy. As for the pants, the Large Petite is a dream come true for my height – no more dragging hems or needing alterations! My advice is always to check their size guide carefully and perhaps even try on a friend’s set if you can. It makes all the difference in getting that perfect, polished look.
Now, for styling! I love how versatile the Espresso color is. It pairs beautifully with so many things. For those cooler clinic days, I often layer with a long-sleeve underscrub from Walmart. You might be surprised, but those affordable underscrubs are surprisingly soft and keep me warm without adding bulk. They're a fantastic, budget-friendly option when you don't want to splurge on another FIGS piece. And speaking of keeping comfortable, my FIGS clogs from @alesgrey TMcomfortworkshoes are my absolute go-to. They are not only incredibly supportive for being on my feet all day but also perfectly complement the sleekness of the Espresso scrubs. Plus, as an oncology clinic RN, having comfortable and reliable footwear is paramount. I even got mine embroidered, adding that personal touch that makes my set feel uniquely mine.
One question I get asked a lot is about durability. After multiple washes, my Espresso scrubs still look fantastic. The color hasn't faded, and the fabric maintains its integrity. They're definitely an investment, but one that pays off in terms of comfort, style, and longevity.
It's clear from the buzz that so many of us healthcare girlies are obsessed with this color. I really hope FIGS hears our pleas and decides to bring back the Espresso collection this year. If you didn't get a chance to snag them, keep an eye out for similar deep, rich tones they might release, or consider checking resale sites. Sometimes you can find them gently used!
