If you’re an allied health professional, you’ll understand the importance of thoughtfully designed, fit-for-purpose pieces that are built to work hard. Regular clothes often can’t hold their own in busy and demanding allied health environments. Here, you need resilient, breathable fabrics, clever cuts and styles with extra room to move – created with the primary aim of making your day a little bit easier and more comfortable.
When upgrading your work wardrobe, consider versatile garments that can be mixed, matched and worn in any environment. Look out for little details like sharp collars, cheerful prints and modern designs that will instantly elevate your everyday look while keeping to the brief. Here are five ways to incorporate our bestselling styles that were custom-created for allied environments. They’re the workwear building blocks that will keep you looking and feeling good, every shift.
Pick a purpose-built polo
Not all polos are created equal. NNT’s fit-for-purpose designs not only look the part but offer unseen extras that enhance this simple style. Our Antibacterial Polyface Short Sleeve polo comes in cuts for women and men and is the gold standard for healthcare environments. It’s crafted from a clever material that fuses two fabrications for comfort plus resilience. A pill-resistant polyester outer offers easy-care credentials, while a cotton backing feels soft against the skin and boosts breathability. The ribbed collar and cuffs, along with the contrasting buttons, elevate the style – and there’s plenty of colours to pick from, so you’ll find something that suits your specifications. This is the top you’ll turn to every day.
Find a print with personality
Lift your look instantly with an eye-catching design that makes workwear staples feel a bit more special. Our iconic petal print comes in five contrasting colourways – from bold red to cool grey. Splashed across some of our bestselling silhouettes - including the form skimming Antibacterial Petal Print Short Sleeve Top and a handy Tunic style – this detailed design is as functional as it is pretty. The tricolour print comes stamped onto custom fabric designed specifically for the healthcare sector, featuring an antimicrobial finish to keep you fresh and protected. In fact, it’s the same Polygiene® technology we use on our premium scrubs, so you can go about your day safe in the knowledge that your allied health uniform is just as technical. Bonus: the busy print doesn’t show up any day-to-day marks the way solid colours can, so it always looks the part.
Upgrade your look with street style cues
Cargo pants are currently trending – and the good news is they’re ideal for allied health environments. This utilitarian style offers room to move and plenty of pockets for a look that’s equal parts comfortable and cool. It’s little wonder, then, that our P/V Gaberdine Cargo Pant is such a popular choice for healthcare. The straight-leg style is both flattering and functional and offers an adjustable hemline that can sit comfortably at three different heights. Add in a key loop, side pockets and large multi-purpose pockets on both legs and there’s storage options for all your essentials. Cut from easy-care gaberdine, the piece is ideal for everyday wear while maintaining an elevated look that reads polished.
Look for longline silhouettes
There are so many reasons to love the timeless tunic. With a longer length hemline for extra coverage and a smart, streamlined aesthetic, it’s a classic style that never puts a foot wrong. It’s also ideal for myriad industries – from pharmacy to beauty and so many workplaces in between. Our must-have Zip Front Tunic will become your go-to for busy days. It comes cut from NNT’s technical Helix Dry fabric, which features a mechanical stretch for comfort while maintaining a soft feel. It’s also wrinkle resistant and boasts quick dry technology, so laundering is essentially effortless. It’s ideal for hectic schedules when looking professional is important.
Rev up your scrubs
Sometimes scrubs are essential, even in allied health environments. But there’s no need to forgo personal style for the sake of your work uniform. Our premium Next-Gen Antibacterial Active scrubs now come cast in a bold new colour – a rich and juicy blackberry. Universally flattering, this deep jewel tone will bring a fresh point of difference. Select a co-ordinating head-to-toe look or mix and match tops and bottoms with your existing scrubs or workwear for an instant update. It’s a tone that looks just as good against black as it does paired with navy or cobalt blue. Or wear your blackberry scrub top with cargos for a handy hybrid look. Just make sure you shop now – this rich and juicy new shade is strictly limited edition and won’t last long.
