A doctor's coat is a white coat with long sleeves, buttons down the front and patch pockets, like the one a doctor wears in the consultation room. In addition to the plain white lab coat, there are coats with blood splatters for a zombie doctor and sets that already include trousers and a shirt in green or light blue, similar to what you know from a doctor costume. A unisex model is available as a doctor's coat for women and men, in addition to coats for men and a wide selection of doctor's coats for children, for carnival and for a spooky look during Halloween.
Doctor's coats in plain white, with blood splatters or as a set
- The plain white doctor's coat has a lapel collar or turn-down collar, long sleeves and a row of buttons, with patch pockets in which you can keep a pen or phone.
- The children's coats feature a model with a printed chest pocket full of pens and a pair of scissors, so the coat immediately looks used.
- For a horror look, there are white coats with a bright red print of blood splatters and handprints, or with green and red splatters for a zombie doctor.
- A children's version of the zombie doctor has frayed hems and a shirt with a printed ribcage, and it comes with a hat, face mask and stethoscope.
- Some sets consist of a coat, trousers and a shirt in light blue or green, sometimes supplemented with a face mask, and a unisex coat comes with two funny name tags.
Separate lab coat or a set with trousers: what do you need?
A separate doctor's coat is enough if you wear it over your own clothes, while a set immediately gives you the hospital clothes underneath. With the separate coats, pay attention to what is not included, because you have to buy a stethoscope, hat or clipboard separately. Adults choose their size per model, because the range varies: the unisex model runs from XS to L and for men XXL is the largest size available. With the children's coats, you will come across length sizes from 116 to 158 cm. Choose based on body length and not on age, because children of the same age differ greatly in length.
Stethoscope and clipboard with the doctor's coat
A stethoscope or clipboard immediately turns a white doctor's coat into a doctor on duty, and you can find that in the doctor and nurse accessories. If you want to portray the doctor from the operating room, you combine the coat with a surgeon costume. With a face mask on your face, a separate coat complements the sets in which the operating clothes are already included.
A doctor's coat during carnival or Halloween
During carnival, a doctor's coat is a costume that you can easily put over your clothes, also handy if you go out with a group as a hospital team. If a nurse is part of the group, you will find her outfit in the nurse clothing. With blood splatters, handprints or a zombie print, the same white coat becomes a spooky surgeon during Halloween. For children, a small coat with a printed chest pocket or a set with trousers is a recognizable carnival costume.
Buying a doctor's coat in the right size
Size and the question of whether you want a separate coat or a set together determine which doctor's coat it will be. If you are torn between plain white and a bloody version, think about the occasion: the plain coat suits any costume party, the print especially for Halloween. If you order before 11:59 p.m., you will have your coat delivered the next day.
