Now every hospital or clinic is different, so this may not apply for everyone but I want to share some of my tips for styling under a white coat. Today's tip...
...add a pop of color like these cobalt blue pants. I have my army of black work pants but I'm always looking for ones in bright vibrant colors. Work pants are notoriously hard to find because I tend to wear flats at work and dragging hems are always a problem (not to mention gross!). Therefore, I tend to wear cropped pants and am fortunate that I live in a climate that allows me to do so year round.
My lenses - a necessary tool for any retina specialist. They come in standard black but I couldn't resist getting some in pretty purple!

I'm a family doctor in Canada who has been reading your blog for quite some time but has never commented.
ReplyDeleteIs it more common for American doctors to wear white coats? I have not worn a white coat since I finished residency. Regardless, I love your outfit and your styling suggestions! And those are some pretty purple lenses!
Hi Liana! I think the white coat culture varies from institution to institution. For example, I know at the Mayo Clinic, the doctors do not wear white coats but instead wear suits daily. However in the hospitals where I've worked, we've all worn white coats, regardless of our level of training. Of course, as a medical student, the white coat is short and you graduate to a long one once you get your MD. Thanks for visiting!
