How to Dress Fashionably in a Lab Coat

By Zaf Udin 10/12/2013 Google+

People working in a laboratory often experience fashion crisis. In particular, women love to dress up and put effort into whatever they wear. However, many are afraid that their expensive dress and shoes will be ruined at work, although you can avoid this by wearing durable lab coats and lab shoes. Here are some things you can do to be fashionable while working in a laboratory

1) Check Your Dress Code

The first thing you need to do is to check the dress code being implemented in the hospital or the laboratory you are working in. Some big hospitals require their lab personnel to wear scrub tops and pants under their medical lab coats, while some hospitals are quite lenient about the dress code and they allow any kind of outfit as long as they don't interfere with the job. There are also lab facilities that are quite accepting of individual preferences when it comes to personal tastes and style. This is true for facilities that are only dealing with medical or lab research, wherein you may not be required to meet patients.

2) Dress Down Fashionably

It is best to dress down especially if you are dealing harmful chemicals in the lab, which includes acids. An expensive dress spilled with acid could really be disappointing. Many lab personnel also ruined their expensive clothes while staining slides. Hence, you may consider wearing practical yet stylish clothes. Dressing down doesn't mean being boring. You can wear outfits like skinny jeans with boots, cardigans, stylish camisoles or you can also pair a simple dress with ballet flats. Just be sure to wear scrub pants and closed toe lab shoes if you are working with harmful chemicals.

3) Wear V-Necks

Wearing lab uniforms will probably cover most of your clothes. Hence you can wear V-neck scrub tops for you to wear a nice necklace. This is ideal if you are not dealing with sensitive experiments or processes in the lab. Wearing necklaces in the lab can be risky, so rely in your common sense in choosing this type of outfit.

4) Wear Accessories

One advantage of dressing down is that you can wear affordable yet stylish outfits. So, you can save more for your clothes allowance. Why not use your savings to buy fashionable accessories such as high-end purse, handbag, pouchette, or wallet.

Buy Fashion Lab Coats

If you want to be stylish at work, don't just concentrate on the outfit you wear under the lab coat. They will be covered by your long lab coats anyway. A more practical move is to find fashion lab coats. Many lab coat providers today are getting innovative in the styles of their lab coats for sale. There are also more color options particularly for specialty coats.
