Modern Scrubs for Nurse Practitioners
Since I started Modern Nurse, I’ve received more emails than I can count asking questions about scrubs. Well, I’m hear to say that I’ve heard your call, and I’ve got an answer.
Majority of my most engaged (and wonderful!) readers are either nurse practitioners or nurse practitioner students. The question’s I’ve received fall into three main categories:
- Professional: Where can I find scrubs that look professional? Where can I find scrub pants that basically look like dress pants? Are there scrubs that I can wear even when I’m not required to wear them at work?
- Comfortable: Where can I find scrubs with a high-waist that don’t look like granny pants? I want soft, flexible scrubs that feel more like workout clothes than a starchy surgical costume.
- Trendy/Flattering: Where can I find scrubs that look modern? Where can I find scrubs that are flattering? I want scrubs with pockets that don’t looks like men’s cargo pants? I need a white lab coat that doesn’t make me look like a rectangle. I want scrubs that don’t look like scrubs.
Maevn Uniforms contacted me a few weeks ago interested in learning more about nurse practitioners and their unique scrub needs. I sent them your feedback (anonymous of course), questions, and desires for more professional, comfortable, and flattering options. Hearing your feedback helped narrow down their vast collection of scrubs to a new line designed for comfort, style, and performance called the Maevn EON Collection.
They sent me a few samples, and I put them to the test in a variety of settings. Let’s just say, I am giddy with excitement! I finally found a style I like and a brand I trust! The scrub jacket included in the EON Collection is the first flattering scrub jacket I’ve ever worn. Included below is more information about the company, the EON Collection, and my thoughts about the products.

Size Chart
When purchasing clothes online, I inevitably worry about picking the right size. I included the size chart below for your reference. As an additional data point, I ordered XS tops and S bottoms (regular inseam), and my measurements are 35 chest, 25 waist, 36 hip, and I’m 5′ 4″ and 125 lbs. The XS tops and S bottoms fit just right. The pants were the right length for me.
Colors
The EON Collection primarily comes in wine, royal blue, true navy, lavender, pewter, and black. I received samples in true navy, black, and wine. The colors are bold, bright, and haven’t faded at all after two washes. I am particularly fond of wine (deep magenta-red), because it is unique and somewhat expressive. It pairs well with black. Other colors include: cool blue, teal blue, Caribbean blue, hunter green, red, and white.
My Favorite: Mesh Panel Jacket
The Mesh Panel Jacket was by far my favorite piece of the EON Collection line! I ordered it in XS and the color wine (shown in picture), and I want to order another in true navy now! I love, love, love this jacket, and if you only pick one thing from the EON collection, pick this!
At work, I paired this jacket with the black Mesh Panel Pant. It was incredibly comfortable: loose around my upper arms with soft stretchy material that didn’t itch my skin. It was also extremely practical: large front pockets and half rib-trim cuffs so I could easily pull up my sleeves.
Aside from the comfort and practicality, the jacket looked really sleek. I got two compliments (from strangers) while at work. Later in the week, I paired the jacket with black skinny jeans and boots and another stranger (outside of the healthcare industry) came up to me and asked where I got it! When I told her it was a scrub jacket she was so surprised!
Be aware that the jacket is narrow. You can see on the model below that the jacket fits snuggly across her non-hips, so you can imagine it was tight on my 36″ hips. I was still able to zip up the XS, but it was tight enough that I left it unzipped most of the day. I will say, because the jacket is so narrow it was very flattering and gave the illusion that I was tall and slim, which I liked!
Other Maevn Products
Maevn Uniforms has lots of other collections besides the EON Collection:
- Red Panda
- EcoFlex
- PrimaFlex
- Blossom
- Model Knit
- Empress
- Gravity
While I didn’t get to sample these, I really liked the look of the Model Knit Collection short and long sleeve shirts (navy, light grey, blue, orange, passion pink). I know a few of you asked me about non-scrub tops to wear with scrub bottoms. I liked the colors, sleeve-length, and reported durability of this collection. Purchase on Amazon.
I also liked the look of the PrimaFlex Collection. The inside of the tops are printed so that when you roll up the sleeves, you get a hint of a pattern. I like this unique look because you can add a splash of color without wearing a full patterned shirt. Purchase on Amazon.
Overall, I am super excited about Maevn Uniforms. They clearly demonstrate an interest in both the nurse practitioner market and the creation of professional, comfortable, and trendy collections. I was impressed with the entire EON Collection especially the Mesh Panel Jacket, which is by far the most flattering scrub jacket I have ever worn!
