White Scrubs help!


Hey everyone,

I'm starting Nursing School this fall and our college is requiring everyone to wear white scrubs. Honestly, the white outfit doesn't bother me too much, and on the upside I got my first pair of all white kicks ( I feel like I should be in a Run DMC music video!). The only thing I'm concerned about is the underwear situation! My parents are telling me black will work, my girlfriend is telling me white, and I'm wishing Fruit of the Loom made nude color for this very reason. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Just wear white underwear and you'll be fine. No colors.

With white pants be careful what type of pen you put in your pockets!! I have black marks on all my pants from gel pens!! As far as underwear, I am not a guy but definitely don't wear black!!

if you can find them, pants made for food service are usually heavier.....and if you really want tannish colored undies dye them.....good strong tea will do....

Nude/beige boxers if you can find them....never, ever white.

With the scrubs being made of a thinner material than most men are used to wearing, their "package" will be better concealed and women checking out your behind (I'm kidding!) won't see an underwear elastic line.

definitely not black! Wear white and if you can find a nude or tan, go with that. White should be fine though.

Our uniforms are all white too (and the pants are easy to see through when you bend over!).. when i first started school, the professors made a big point of telling us NO colored undies or thongs and that if we wore them we would be sent home! haha

Um.... I hope you're not a guy, because.... apparently you've never shopped for boxers. I've never, ever, ever in my 37 years seen nude or beige boxers. If you can find me a link for something called "nude boxers" I'd love to see it, if it's not porn! haha. Also, white may show an "outline", but it will cover much better than any color under white pants.

To the OP, If you get "medic" pants, they are of a thicker material, and are not as see thru.
