Our story / Est. 2019

It started with
a little color.

Vitals & Vibes Social Club.
Founded in 2019.

Vitals & Vibes makes socks, scrub caps, apparel, accessories and gifts inspired by medicine, healthcare, therapy and psychology. Our official shop is vitalsandvibes.shop.

Dr. Fayez was a medical student when he started the company. He wanted more color in his daily wardrobe, between the scrubs, white coats and long study days. Patterned socks were a way to choose something for himself.

The idea was to make playful socks for people in healthcare to wear with their uniforms.

01 / The first connections

Our first
sock giveaways.

In 2019, we gave free socks to people across medicine through outreach campaigns. It was our way to thank those already working in care and those still training.

These photographs came from that outreach: socks at study desks, paired with scrubs and worn with workwear.

02 / The people behind the name

Meet the Vitals.

Dr. Fayez · Emergency physician & founder

An emergency physician with a soft spot for a good pair of socks. Dr. Fayez started Vitals & Vibes as a medical student in 2019, bringing a little color and medical humor to life in scrubs.

Today, you may know him as Doctor Fayez or Life of a Doctor. He also created HealthMaxxing, a wellness app for body and mind.

Meet the Vibes.

Dr. Tina · Licensed clinical psychologist & co-founder

Every good pair needs a little balance. Dr. Tina is a licensed clinical psychologist, co-founder and the Vibes half of Vitals & Vibes, bringing a psychology perspective to a club built around the people behind the care.

Think feelings, boundaries, and a little therapy humor. A reminder that you can take caring for others seriously and still have fun with what you wear.

03 / The Social Club

The Vitals & Vibes
Social Club.

The Vitals & Vibes Social Club grew out of our early community outreach. Today, the shop carries medicine, therapy and psychology designs on socks, scrub caps, apparel, accessories and gifts, and the Common Room is our journal.

The club brings together people working and training in medicine, healthcare, therapy and psychology. Browse the designs, read a styling guide or suggest a topic for the journal.

The socks started the conversation.
The people keep it going.
