Types of Lab Coats for Plus Size Women
Lab coats are manufactured in several different styles for both men and women. Unisex, one size fits all lab coats are also a popular choice of many plus size women.
- Lab coats are made in long or short lengths. In many instances the length of the lab coat is based on the wearer’s staff position or seniority. For example, in most teaching hospitals medical students wear a shorter length lab coat and the physicians wear lab coats that are longer in length.
- A popular style, the lab jacket is fitted and styled like a sports jacket or blazer.
- Fitted lab coats, also called slim fit and streamlined lab coats are contoured to gently fit the body.
- A variation of the lab coat, the lab vest, is growing in popularity.
The Benefits of Cotton Lab Coats
- Wearing a lab coat that is clean and neatly pressed projects an image that is professional to patients or clients. Lab coats made from 100 percent cotton can be starched giving a really sharp, crisp appearance.
- A lab coat protects the clothing underneath helping to keep it clean and stain free.
- Lab coats made of 100 percent cotton flow nicely and the fabric is breathable.
- Cotton blends are generally more stain- and wrinkle-resistant than 100 percent cotton lab coats.
