Wearing trousers instead of scrub pants

[KJStarling]

I am shopping for new uniforms, and pretty frustrated. I really hate the way I look in scrub pants. I need more stucture, more tailoring, I just don't look nice in shapeless, baggy scrub pants. What do you think about wearing white trousers instead? This probably seems petty to some of you, but if I can't find decent pants I'm going old school and buying uniform dresses! I like to look pulled together at work.

Anyone know of a uniform pant or trouser? Must be white. Thanks!

Dickies makes white painter's pants for women. They're denim, with a lot of pockets, and not see-through.

I have worn both tops and pants that were not traditional nursing uniforms. I chose them for their durability and that fact that the cost was so much less than "real" medical uniforms. However, the ones that I was using for this purpose are no longer found at the major department store where I used to get them, so I have moved on to expensive uniforms.

Many of the Unform Stores (not online) carry Uniform Pants made ib Trouser Style. Cherokee had a good one.

The trick is to keep searching - I used to investigate any and all Stores I saw, and then buy more than one pair.

I also dislike tha way I look in elastic waist/baggy scrubs - seems they are tight across the rear and too big in the waist. They feel like Jammies.

Tafford's hasa style of pants that is more tailored...I think they call it "jeans style" or something like that. They are online only so you'd have to order one to try it on, but they do have a good return policy if it doesn't work out.

You can look into cherokee collection ..you can also try cargo style if you want more structure ..

I wear cargo pants that I bought at Costco. Much better fabric, better pockets, and have belt loops... Oh, and only $15/pair.

Uniform Advantage has a jean cut scrub pant. They look much more structured and sleek, and they come in a lot of colors. uniformadvantage.com

And as someone else said, Tafford has a trouser-style pant. I've not worn them, but a coworker of mine has some and they are her favorite pants.

I have been looking all over for women's cargo pants. I will check to see if a Costco around here has any. Thanks for the idea! I am tired of the typical scrub bottoms. I need something with lots of pockets so I don't have to wear scrub jackets when it is so hot most of the time in our unstable internal environment (either too hot or too cold).
