The Stylish Scrub Showdown – Scrubzey vs FIGS

Who’s Really Leading the Fashionable Scrubs Game in the UK?

When it comes to stylish scrubs, FIGS has long been the name on everyone's lips — especially in the U.S. But here in the UK, a new player is changing the game fast. Enter Scrubzey: fashion-led, UK-based, and designed specifically for professionals on this side of the pond.

If you’re torn between FIGS and Scrubzey, we’ve broken it down — no bias, just facts.

1. Design + Style: Global vs Local Flair

FIGS:

  • Known for minimalist, clean-cut styles

  • Tailored to a U.S. aesthetic — might not suit all UK tastes or shapes

Scrubzey:

  • Fashion-first UK designs

  • Bold colour drops like Sage, Blush, and Sandstone

  • Silhouettes tailored for both petite and plus-size British pros

Verdict: FIGS is sleek, but Scrubzey hits different when it comes to flattering real UK bodies.

2. Pricing: Import Costs Add Up

FIGS:

  • Priced in USD, converted to GBP (with poor exchange rates)

  • Import duties + VAT at the door

  • Delays + customs issues

Scrubzey:

  • Priced in GBP — what you see is what you pay

  • No surprise customs fees

  • Fast UK shipping

Verdict: With rising tariffs and import headaches, Scrubzey wins on value and simplicity.

3. Fabric Tech + Performance

FIGS:

  • FIONx fabric is known for comfort + durability

  • Limited sizing range for some styles

Scrubzey:

  • Super-stretch, antimicrobial, breathable

  • Designed to move with you, not against you

  • Sizes up to 5XL with inclusive fit profiles

Verdict: FIGS brought fabric innovation — Scrubzey matched it and added better fit and flex.

4. Community + Culture

FIGS:

  • Massive U.S. presence

  • Lacks UK focus or representation

Scrubzey:

  • Built by UK pros, for UK pros

  • Models of all sizes, skin tones, and clinic types

  • Responsive local customer support

Verdict: FIGS is a machine. Scrubzey is a movement.

Final Word: It’s Not Just About Style — It’s About Fit, Fairness, and Feeling Seen

If you love sleek U.S. branding and don’t mind customs fees — FIGS still has appeal. But if you want:

  • UK-based service

  • Fair pricing

  • Inclusive fits

  • Bold, fashion-forward scrubs built for real workdays

...then Scrubzey is leading the next wave.
