How to Wear a Hospital Gown

Let’s talk about the draft. That cold breeze on your backside is not a feature—it’s a design flaw. Solution: tie the top and bottom ties tightly, then ask for a second gown. Wear one like a jacket (open back, but covering your front) and the other like a robe (open back, but covering your behind). You’ll look like a lumpy marshmallow, but you’ll be a warm marshmallow. And nobody judges you for being practical in a hospital—they judge you for showing everyone your underwear.

Also, non-slip socks are your best friend. The gown has no pockets. None. Zero. So stick your phone, glasses, and a granola bar into the sock band before you roll them up. It’s not stylish, but it’s functional. (Just remember to take the granola bar out before you walk to the bathroom—crumbs in the MRI machine are a bad look.)

The Walk of Shame (Uplifted)

You’re going to have to walk the hallways at some point. You’ll feel like a newborn giraffe with no control over what’s open and what’s covered. Here’s the secret: walk with your hands clasped behind your back. It pulls the rear flaps together, creating a natural closure. Plus, it makes you look thoughtful, like you’re pondering the meaning of your fever. Alternatively, grab the rear flaps with each hand and hold them like a tail. Yes, you look like a demented penguin, but you’ll be a covered demented penguin.
