The Most Feminine Lab Coat For Women

1 Reply

Guess what, ladies? Your lab coat doesn’t have to be something that you dread putting on every day. You don’t need to wear what is essentially a glorified smock that is neither comfortable or flattering for your 14-hour work days.

As a matter of fact, there are now tons of options for lab coats that you might even look forward to putting on each morning!

Worn in the right style, a flattering lab coat is actually a fashion piece. For instance, the limited edition Miranda B. lab coat from Medelita has taken your standard medical apparel to the next level by offering the most form-flattering style for ladies.

Here is what makes this lab coat so flattering:

  1. Vertical contouring: the lines of the seams on this lab coat are curved to match the curves of real women’s bodies. This way the lab coat serves to hug you at the narrowest point of your waist. The result? A to-die-for hourglass figure that is still professional.
  2. Darting and pleating: these little design details go a long way in creating a polished appearance. Medelita has purposefully reinvented this coat as an emblem of confidence and poise.
  3. Back skirting: the first lab coat in history to have a skirted back, this delicate feature is beautifully delicate and unique. The skirted back of the Miranda B. is the most feminine design for a medical lab coat available on the market.

Lab Coat Style: Belted Waistbands

Women in medicine have very few ways to show off your personal style at work. Sure, you can get creative with accessories (as long as they don’t get in the way of your work!) or wear brightly patterned scrubs, but what should you do if you want to appear stylish yet elegant and professional?

Medelita was the first company to ever introduce a lab coat just for women, and they’ve continued to raise the bar with their elevated styles and graceful tailoring. One of their signature feminine details on women’s styles of lab coats is the belted waistband, which first appeared on the Callia Classic Fit Coat.

A double-button contoured waistband lends itself to a fitted and confident look for the workplace.

The belted waistband feature can also be seen in a shorter version of this coat: the Ellody Petite Fit Coat. In this style, the back belt is very slimming and graceful. Having a lab coat that nips in slightly at the waist is a subtle way to show off your femininity in the workplace while remaining fully professional and confident.

The best part about these styles of lab coat is that they are feminine yet professional, not at all overdone. The overall effect is an image of understated, tasteful elegance that is classic and beautifully professional.

When it comes to choosing a lab coat, you’ll want something that flatters your body type and speaks to your personal style. Medelita lab coats come in a number of styles, each with its own unique design details that individualize each style. Lab coat lapels, for example, say a great deal about the wearer’s fashion choices.

Notched Lapels

Notched lapels, as found on the M3 Estie Lab Coat, are traditional yet contemporary and are often seen on professional blazers and suit jackets. If you’re unsure about what style lapels you prefer, notched lapels are always a safe choice because they are versatile and universally appropriate in just about any setting.

Rounded Lapels

You can find an example of rounded lapels on the M3 Callia Lab Coat, which is a more feminine lab coat. Rounded lapels almost appear to resemble the petals on a flower, giving a softer, feminine look that is also sophisticated and elegant.

Shawl Collar

As seen on the Emma W. Lab Coat, shawl collars create a continuous curve of fabric that rounds the neck. This style was originally seen on the Victorian smoking jacket, and it is now a very popular style for dinner jackets. Shawl collars create a very elegant, graceful silhouette.

Envelope Collar

The envelope collar is a popular style that made its debut on the Vera G. Lab Coat. This collar style is graceful and tasteful, and is marked by lapels that are turned down flat at the seam. This low maintenance lapel style is sleek and modern, giving the wearer a streamlined silhouette.

The Importance Of Female Lab Coats

Leave a reply

If you were a female practicing medicine 8 years ago, getting dressed for work was probably not the most exciting task. No matter how greatly your patient workload may have varied, your choices of lab coats would have been very limited. Until recently, the only available lab coat styles were typically unisex and catered primarily toward the functional needs and measurements of men. For women in the medical field, this meant the only option was to wear a lab coat that hung like a smock.

Fast forward to today, when medical apparel companies such as Medelita are finally creating lab coats that fit the needs of the nearly 300,000 female doctors and thousands of women in related scientific fields. Now considerations such as height, body type, and personality are made during the design process. Some lab coats are even made according to specialty, such as a dentist or dental surgeon that needs a wider range of motion in their coat. Flattering silhouettes and new construction details have transformed the workwear wardrobe for women everywhere.
