Why We Recommend It
The Melanie Top by Moxie Scrubs is not only affordable, but its quick-drying technology keeps moisture at bay—think sweat, spills, and frequent hand washing. The polyester-spandex blend and flexible side vents are exceptionally stretchy for unrestricted motion (also great during pregnancy).
The top has four pockets, including two large front pockets, a front zipper pocket, and a hidden interior pocket for your phone. The fabric is soft and lightweight and won't fade or shrink after washing. Paired with the Moxie Catherine or Justine pants, this is a great workwear option with inclusive sizing up to 5XL.
Keep In Mind
Some wearers report slight wrinkling when not removed from the dryer promptly. The fabric is only available in solid colors, so you may want to look elsewhere if you prefer more variety in patterns and prints.
