Buying guide
How to choose your plain scrub top
Not all plain scrub tops are cut the same. Here's what to consider before you buy — from colour policy and neckline style to fit and sizing.
01
Check your workplace colour policy
Many South African hospitals specify which colours are permitted by department. Theatre and ICU often restrict to a single colour; GP rooms and outpatient settings are usually more flexible. Confirm with your unit manager before ordering.
koi stocks the most commonly required SA hospital colours — navy, hunter green, teal, royal blue and black are the safest choices.
02
Choose the right neckline for your role
koi plain tops come in V-neck, mock-wrap and round-neck styles. V-necks and mock-wraps are most popular for clinical settings. If you're looking for wrap scrub tops in a plain colour, the mock-wrap styles in this collection are the ideal option.
Theatre and sterile environments often prefer V-neck styles that don't require adjustment during procedures.
03
Match your top to your koi pants
koi's fabric dye lots are consistent across their range, so a navy plain top will match navy koi pants precisely. Buy your top and pants from the same collection to guarantee a perfect colour match for a coordinated uniform.
Mix collections with caution — fabric blends vary between koi Basics, koi Happiness and koi Next Gen, which can affect shade matching.
04
Get your sizing right first time
koi sizing doesn't follow standard South African clothing sizes. Their fit runs slightly smaller through the shoulders and larger through the hip — always check measurements before you order to avoid a return.
If you're between sizes, size up for comfort. Unsure? Use our Fitting Room in a Box service before committing.
Who wears plain scrub tops?
Plain women's scrub tops for every healthcare profession
From hospital wards to dental surgeries, plain solid-colour scrubs are the professional standard across South African healthcare — here's who reaches for them and why.
Hospital Nurses
Ward and clinic nurses in most SA public and private hospitals are required to wear plain solid-colour scrub tops. Navy and hunter green are the most commonly prescribed colours.
Doctors & GPs
Private GPs and specialists who prefer a clean, authoritative look often choose plain koi scrub tops — professional enough for consulting, comfortable enough for long days.
Theatre Staff
Operating theatres and sterile environments almost universally require plain-colour tops. koi plain scrub tops meet theatre dress code in the majority of South African facilities.
Dental Professionals
Dentists, dental therapists and dental assistants favour plain scrub tops for their clean, clinical appearance — a solid colour reads as hygienic and reassuring to patients.
Allied Health
Physios, OTs, biokinetisists and radiographers rely on koi plain tops for the stretch and mobility they need during hands-on patient work — without sacrificing a professional uniform appearance.
Nursing Students
Most South African nursing schools specify plain scrub tops as part of their uniform requirements. koi's plain range covers the required colours and is built to last the full duration of a nursing qualification.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about purchasing our scrubs tops for women in South Africa.
Are plain scrub tops required in South African hospitals?
In many South African public hospitals and private hospital groups, plain solid-colour scrub tops are required — particularly in theatre, ICU, and other clinical departments. The specific colours permitted vary by institution and department. It’s always best to confirm with your unit manager or nursing manager before ordering. koi’s plain range covers the most commonly required colours: navy, hunter green, teal, royal blue, burgundy, and black.
What's the difference between koi scrub tops and other brands?
koi scrub tops are engineered specifically for women in healthcare — not adapted from unisex patterns. The koi Happiness Collection plain tops feature a contoured women’s cut, 4-way stretch fabric, reinforced stress seams, and purpose-built pockets. They hold their shape and colour through high-temperature hospital washing in a way that cheaper plain scrubs don’t. Once most healthcare workers try koi, they don’t go back.
Do you stock wrap scrub tops in plain colours?
Yes. Several styles in the koi Happiness Collection feature a mock-wrap or V-wrap neckline in plain solid colours — you get the flattering wrap silhouette with the clean, single-colour look required by most clinical workplaces. The koi Lite Philosophy scrub top for women is one of our top sellers!
Are these scrub tops suitable as nursing uniforms?
Yes — koi plain scrub tops are widely worn as nursing uniforms across South Africa. For guidance on putting together a complete nursing uniform that meets hospital requirements, read our guide to nursing uniforms in South Africa. We recommend pairing your plain top with matching koi scrub pants from the same collection for a fully coordinated uniform.
How do koi scrub top sizes work?
koi uses its own sizing which runs differently to standard South African clothing sizes. Always check our koi women’s size chart before ordering — it includes exact bust, waist and hip measurements for every size from XS to 3XL. If you’re between sizes, koi recommends sizing up for comfortable shift wear.
Do plain koi scrub tops fade in the wash?
No — koi’s performance poly-cotton fabric is specifically designed to withstand repeated high-temperature clinical washing without colour fade or fabric degradation. The solid colours in this collection use the same fade-resistant dye process as their printed tops, so your navy stays navy after 100 washes.
