After finding FIGS Scrubs in 2016 because of their high-quality healthcare apparel & giving-back philosophy (they donate pairs of scrubs to healthcare providers in need) I am very excited to share my thoughts on their lifewear apparel today! Check out FIGS HERE.

Giving Back Series: FIGS Scrubs Lifewear Review on their everyday fleece jacket, micro-fill vest and tee. This is part of my Giving Back Series. I think many of us categorize companies based on their most popular products – for FIGS that would be SCRUBS – but they also offer an AMAZING lifewear apparel line for everyday life. I love this because I don’t wear scrubs everyday & like versatile pieces that transition easily from day to night. Plus, FIGS is a company who gives back through their Threads for Threads Initiative.
If you would like more information about their Scrubs, please head over to my first blog post where I detailed information on Women’s & Men’s scrubs including their Story, Threads for Threads Program, Video & Customer Service. I am again highlighting my twin sister & boyfriend in this post – who are OB-GYN and radiologist specialty residents at a large academic medical center in Los Angeles.
Disclosure: FIGS provided each of us with an outfit; as always all thoughts & opinions are my own. This post may contain affiliate links; full disclosures HERE.
I’m very thorough with my reviews and am by nature, a very detail-oriented person. So here is an overview of my review, jump to a section you’re interested in or watch the video (~2 minutes)! Plus, scroll to the bottom for a FIGS discount code on your order!

Super Soft Short Sleeve Tee & Super Soft Long Sleeve Tee or Underscrub: Women’s & Men’s
- Women’s: FIGS shortsleeve & FIGS longsleeve
- Men’s: FIGS shortsleeve & FIGS longsleeve
- A short sleeve tee is a staple in anyone’s wardrobe
- We initially showcased this super soft longsleeve tee with my first FIGS Scrubs Review
- Both the short sleeve & long sleeve tees pair well with scrubs,
- They are EXCELLENT tees for everyday wear
- I have personally worn both several times both on casual days running errands and to work as a business casual top paired with a more professional jacket over it
- Why do I love FIGS tees?
- Super soft
- Neutral color options
- Machine washable (and has washed well thus far – will update in next few months on long-term wear/quality)
- Loose fitting – it’s not meant to be form fitting
- Cut helps with breathability & moveability either at work or at home
- How does it compare to other basic tees?
- In comparison to J. Crew: Vintage Cotton T-Shirt or Madewell: Whisper Cotton T-Shirt
- Looser fitting – drapey to easily tuck in or leave out
- Softer material
- Similar V-neck designs
- Similar classic color options
- In comparison to J. Crew: Vintage Cotton T-Shirt or Madewell: Whisper Cotton T-Shirt
- How to Wear it?
- Under scrubs
- Alone as a casual tee
- Alone under a more professional jacket for work
- Alone & tucked in for a polished look
- Alterations/Tailoring?
- No alterations or tailoring were required for any of our tees
