There are many things in the clothing universe that you just don't think about. Like for example: is there a difference between men's lab coats and women's lab coats? I guess it really doesn't matter unless you wear a lab coat all day, but if you do wear one then you probably know the answer: yes, there is. It might be subtle, but for doctors subtle is important. In recent years a big industry has sprung up for both male and female specific lab coats. Maybe it's all these doctor show's starring beautiful people which are fueling this industry, but women have specific needs when it comes to fit and comfort just like men do.

It's not just the medical industry either, many companies have ditched unisex uniforms for male and female uniforms which are tailored to each individual needs. In the medical field, uniforms are very common. From receptionists to nurses to doctors to surgeons, everyone you see seems to be wearing a specific uniform tailored for their tasks. For nurses, scrubs are usually the norm. While there is not a huge difference in the tailored pattern for each men and women, there are definitely design differences. For example, there is a huge market for themed scrubs. For women you can get anything from a pattern of cats to Big Bird from Sesame Street.

For men, well, they usually go plain but the sky is the limit for them to. Scrubs can also run the gambit in cost from cheap pairs which you can change daily to something designer and expensive that can last the long haul. For doctors, uniforms are a bit difference. For his time in his office a doctor will usually wear either slacks and a dress shirt, or a dress and pant suit. When it's time to visit the patients, though, it's usually time to don a lab coat over your outfit. Most hospitals or clinics will usually allow doctors to pick their own lab coats and though most look the same (some variation of the color white and a few pockets), not all lab coats are created equal. Besides having different styles for both men and women, lab coats can feature different designs, strain protectors, fabrics and even pockets.

Cost wise, they can go from a basic lab coat that will need to be tossed after a few months for around $30 to a designer lab coat that can repel stains and stay white for a couple hundred dollars. Since they spend so much time in them a doctor will usually invest in a more expensive coat so they don't need to keep replacing them.

So there you go. There is a difference in men's lab coats and women's lab coats. See, you learn something new every day.
