I just got my uniform the other day, and went with my friend to get hers yesterday...
We have white Landau tops and lab coats, and Caribbean blue Cherokee pants:
We also have to wear all white shoes...leather sneakers are recommended, and shoes with holes in the top such as Crocs are not allowed.
It's not bad as far as uniforms go...but it's not the best. The tunic top looks awful on me because I have a short torso, so it just engulfs me...but oh well.
All of yours sound much better than mine! We have white Cherokee pants, tops and lab coats. The pants are all elastic waist and very high waisted at that. I have an extra small and they are still big and poufy! The top is button up and very long and the sleeves are kind of puffed! I'm planning on wearing the school's pants for the first few days and then switching to a pair of my own white bottoms. Can't do that with the top though.
Our uniforms are Landau navy blue, but our tops are POLOS. They are so hideous and I hate that they don't have pockets. We have solid navy and solid white ones (the white ones were supposed to be for our public health rotation but eventually they said we could wear either the navy or the white...now the white is used for casual events such as our sophomore orientation day and when other schools come visit our sim lab to experience nursing stuff). Anyway, because of no pockets, I always wear a navy blue Landau scrub jacket. The polos have our school's patch on the left sleeve and the scrub jackets used to also have a patch on the left sleeve but they stopped doing that. Our shoes have to be all white.

What do you have to wear?
I guess we're almost the opposite of you - we have white pants and white lab coat. Our shirts are pretty much the same color as the pants depicted in your picture. Last semester, I almost always exclusively wore my lab coat while working clinical...So I joked that I was the 'man in the white coat'
Our uniform is a white tunic and lab coat (like the OP), with white low-ride boot-cut pants. No athletic shoes, they must be nursing brand shoes.
Since I'm ever-so-slightly-not-skinny I was pretty freaked out at the thought of white pants, but when I tried them on, they weren't as bad as I thought. I'll survive.
HOWEVER... I no longer complain, having since discovered that a hospital-based program not far from here requires all female students to wear a white knee-length skirt with white hosiery. UGH! It is 2010, right?
Wow- there are some interesting color combos going on out there! I guess ours aren't too bad. We have zip tops and unisex pants both in sailor blue ( from Dove apparel) and white lab coats. All tops have to have the school patch on the left sleeve 3" from the shoulder seam. Athletic shoes are okay at our school as long as there is no mesh on the top.

Maybe it's because I'm small...but unisex pants sound AWFUL. I would look like I was drowning in them...and they probably wouldn't even stay up! I got an XS in the women's style that we have, and even those are quite large around my hips/waist!
