Everyday Unders
The layer you reach for on an ordinary Tuesday. Long sleeves that sit flat under a V-neck, prints small enough to read as texture, and fabric that is still behaving at hour eleven.

High Crew Neck Underscrub Long Sleeve Comfort Tee, Scrub Undershirt
Higher neckline, so it shows deliberately at a V-neck instead of accidentally.
View on AmazonWhat to look for in an everyday underscrub
Three things decide whether you wear it twice: how the neckline sits under your scrub top, whether the sleeve stays put when you push it up, and whether the fabric still feels like anything by the end of a long shift. A high crew neck shows deliberately at a V-neck instead of accidentally. A flat seam at the shoulder stops the ridge you can see through a thin scrub top.
Why long sleeves, in a building set to 68 degrees
Most people who wear an underscrub are not cold because the building is cold. They are cold because they are standing still for the first time in four hours. A thin long-sleeve layer solves that without adding a jacket you then have to take off to wash your hands.
