Massage Uniforms

Massage Uniforms

We're pretty much free to wear what we want in our shop as long as it looks nice (no ripped jeans, midriff tops, shorts, etc). The owner tends to wear jeans and khakis, one CMT wears yoga pants and Ts.) I wear long, flowy skirts and Tshirts with a shallow V or scoop neck because skirts give me a feeling of much more freedom of movement and I can NOT wear anything up around my neck. Don't like collared shirts at all, (ie polos) as I feel very constricted and hot. In the summer I wear tank tops but they are wider at the shoulder and not low cut, no little strappy ones with bra straps hanging out. In the winter I tend to wear a tank under a long sleeved T, so I can take the outer shirt off before I do a massage. I wear sandals probably 8 months out of the year and when it gets cold I keep a pair at the shop to wear there, because like Pueppi, I massage barefoot. I have to be comfortable to do massage or the whole thing just feels 'off'. I also wear big earrings and necklaces, mostly with shells or beads, but they are quiet ones, no clanky or bangy sounds. The look totally works for me, in terms of personality and comfort. But it's probably not what you're looking for, lol.

Sounds just fine for me! I've never done a massage in a skirt though, but I had a co-worker once who wore only skirts to work (the same long, flowy kind of "Boho" style). I do like skirts though, and I think I could get into working in them

With the advent of stretchy jeans, those more comfortable in this attire can practice without restriction. I'm not allowed to wear jeans to work, though. I can sympathize with your opinion of collared shirts for the same reasons. I just wear nice, solid colored shirts and khaki scrubs. I haven't tried the Cherokee flexibles, yet, and I'd like to thank pueppi for the warning. I'll be sure to try everything on, first, and check the care instructions. Knowing about the material should help.

I have a couple of those, but I can't wear them to work. Given the breathability and freedom of movement, though, it seems rather practical, so if you can, I say give it a try!

I have wore the kacki polo combination when I was in school and we did training in a very hot clinic so we could get used to the working temperture. I found that combination to get to hot, I live in chicago and our winters are very cold and My favorite combination to wear is yoga pants and a comfortable tee shirt in the springtime and summer our summers can be very hot and the weather can vary its chicago, My Favorite combination to wear in the winter is I wear yoga pants or jogging suit pants and an under armor compression top with an under armor hoddie, or I wear yoga pants and A nice thermal long sleeve shirt. I only wear scrubs once in awhile, since I work at a spa and were laid back. I don't work in a medical clinic yet even though thats my goal to work in a hospital or medical clinic. It's all personal Preference for massage I think whatever your comfortable in and is good for your work place.
