"Figs scrubs are my go-to because they are incredibly versatile and you look effortlessly while grabbing coffee. Stylish and practical!"

"Cherokee is more breathable especially the Revolution range. The Infinity range proves a more fitted, professional look but it is a win-win for me because of it's ribbed design"
"I have worn both and both have moisture-wicking and anti-wrinkle features which I love however Cherokee scrubs allows you to survive a 12-hour shift in comfort."
