Dressing in bright colours during summer can make all the difference! Wearing colourful clothes can have a significant impact on our emotions and perception. Colours are imbued with meanings that can influence our mood and that of those around us. It is scientifically proven that colours affect our morale; they boost our daily productivity and make those around us smile.
At Happythreads, we chose orange to best reflect our brand – a colour synonymous with creativity, youth, and enthusiasm. And you, what colour represents you?
Here are 5 reasons to opt for colourful medical attire:
1. Stand Out with Colourful Tops
Wearing colourful medical tops allows you to stand out.
We are used to seeing white tops… but yellow (our sunshine colour), eggplant, or even electric blue are much less common. Imagine yourself at the dentist, and instead of seeing the traditional white tops, you are greeted by teal tops. This is sure to leave a lasting impression! Choosing a bright colour not only allows you to stand out but also to make a memorable impact on patients.
2. Boost the Morale of Medical Teams
Given that we spend an average of one-third of our lives at our workplace, it is essential to feel comfortable there. Providing your employees with colourful medical attire can have a positive impact on their morale and attitude at work. By incorporating vibrant and dynamic colours into their professional wardrobe, you create a more joyful and engaging work environment. This can not only generate a sense of well-being among your employees but also encourage them to wear their work attire proudly.
Feeling more comfortable and confident in their work clothes, they are likely to approach their tasks with a more positive mindset and renewed energy, thus contributing to a more productive and harmonious work atmosphere.
3. Enhance Patient Well-Being and Avoid the "White Coat Effect"
What is the "white coat effect"? This phenomenon describes the physiological responses in about one in five people in the presence of a healthcare professional wearing a white coat, including an increase in blood pressure, changes in heart rate, and feelings of stress and anxiety.
With your colourful medical attire, you can change things! Did you know that you can even observe this yourself? Every week, we receive feedback from professionals who have received numerous compliments on their colourful or printed attire. If you have the choice, don’t hesitate any longer! Isn’t it nice to receive compliments from patients? Opt for colourful medical tops!
4. Differentiate Between Various Professions Within the Same Practice
To facilitate the identification of medical staff and distinguish between various professions within the same practice, many of our clients opt for different colours for each position. This approach allows patients to quickly know who is who and navigate more easily, especially in large healthcare facilities.
However, it is also possible to standardise medical staff within a practice, regardless of its size, by equipping everyone with the same tops model. This standardisation can strengthen the sense of belonging to a team and give a professional and cohesive image of the establishment.
5. Enhance the Image of the Practice
Although it may seem trivial, your clothing contributes to the overall image of your medical practice. Neat clothing not only improves the general appearance but also reinforces patients’ confidence.
Some practices seek to create a true visual identity by choosing outfits that match their logo, website, etc. This consistency helps establish a strong brand image and harmony within the practice or clinic. Adding embroidery with staff names and/or the logo further reinforces this brand image while adding a touch of personalisation to the attire.
