Different color scrub Top and Pants, does that look ok for Male nurses?

Nurses Men

So i'm gonna start my first job in a few days and bought a pair of scrubs. The top and pants I got are both black but of different styles and so have obliviously different shades of black. I'm thinking of just using them with a different color pair. Like example, a blue top and black pants, or black top and gray pants. I haven't seen any male nurses during my clinicals that wore different colored scrubs so that why I'm asking.

Men usually wear solid colors. Actually, every male I've worked with, including myself, wore the exact same type and color of scrubs everyday, lol. I had a couple of pair that I alternated until I started wearing 5.11 pants and random polos. Patients couldn't wrap their head around me being the RN, but it wasn't against policy so I wore that instead. Way more comfortable and practical.

I've seen scrubs with trucks on them, motorcycles and just about every color of camo!

Cool. I'd never seen that. You know, it's really the design of the scrubs that I don't like. I don't like the overly short sleeves and V-necks of the shirts, and I can't stand the unisex/elastic waste of the pants although I did find some Landau pants that had zippers, buttons, belt loops, etc. That's what the two pairs I had were.

I have long, ape-like arms with a rather long looking neck. I'm 6'2" 162-170 lbs (depending on the season) so my thinness makes me look longer, and scrubs just aren't made for me, lol.

The facility I work in we have to wear white. The CNA's get to wear white pants and a colored top.
