School Uniforms

[RayOfHope]

I'm fairly neutral about my uniform, mostly because I've worn it for so long.

I guess it's nice that I don't have to worry about choosing clothes because most of my wardrobe is old tshirts. But I way prefer my tshirts to itchy polos and stiff khaki pants. If it weren't for this school I wouldn't know that maroon apparently is very, very different from red. (I swear it's just dark red though, isn't it??)

high schools where i live dont have a uniform. however, elementary and middle schools do. at my 8th grade school (i was at different schools for 6th 7th and 8th), we wore polos and khaki or navy bottoms. 6th graders wore light grey polos, 7th wore royal blue, and 8th wore navy blue. the polo+khaki/navy combo is 'popular' for schools to use in the valley i guess.

I used to wear uniform during middle school. Now that I go back and think about it I didn't hate it much. At the local fashion store they used to have these really nice dark blue skinny pants (not jeans obv) and white shirts for girls that really didn't looked like a white uniform shirt. The boys obviously wore white polo uniform shirts and blue ****ie pants. The good thing was that we wouldn't be wasting our time thinking about what we were going to wear everyday.

I wore a uniform when I went to private school and I liked it. It was comfy and I never had to spend extra time deliberating what to wear.

Yes. I have to wear a blazer and everything and my tie has a print of my school logo on it.

It can be annoying, but it's convenient. I'd still rather have no uniform nonetheless.

There's pathetic rules about haircuts and trousers, too

I kind of like the idea of a school uniform. During middle school we went to a SMOD style. Where it was more free than a uniform. Certain colors, and types of shirts and pants were allowed. I would've preferred uniforms over SMOD style

Now at Uni, I kind of wear the same thing lol.

I haven't worn one in around ~6 years as I didn't need to wear one after I finished my GCSEs, but I wore one at all of the schools I have attended since I was 4 until the age of 16. I liked having one because it meant that I didn't have to bother thinking about what I would wear each day, and it meant that no one would judge you for what you wore and such. I'm happy to wear my own clothes now (doing a Master's degree at university) as people aren't as judgmental once they grow up in general. I have only ever had compliments about my clothes, never anything negative, and I am definitely not stylish or bothered by fashion so much.

I used to have a uniform and I loved having it, even though it was ugly. I wish every school had school uniforms but preferably cuter ones than what I had to wear (we didn't have skirts or blazers or anything, just khakis and polos)

What's SMOD?

I have no clothes that fit me and my school uniform isn't restrictive so I can move easy so I like it.

You're so lucky.. My uniform is so stiff, I can barely move my arms.

I have a uniform. I like it now. It makes getting ready in the morning a lot easier.
If you ask around my school, like 60% of the girls will probably say they hate dress-down days now - because we have so many options and it takes too long.
Since we're used to having to wear a dark or light skirt and a maroon or gray skirt everyday with the same shoes and possibly the same socks, most of us are worried about hair and makeup. So adding on what you're going to wear? I think most people will miss their bus on a dress down day.

Guys? Not so much.

"plan ahead" yeah then the day of the dress down, you don't want to wear it anymore.


Now, I like our uniform, but if it was anywhere else or any other color, I'd most likely hate it.

We never had uniforms when I was in school. I don't think I would've minded much either way though, as long as it was comfortable.

Although you never see uniforms in public schools here. In private schools it's pretty much guaranteed.

 

[tamagotchi]

I don't like uniforms.

I used to have to wear one and it was absolutely horrid. Not the design itself, but it came with these really small skirts that were itchy as all hell, and it was always humid.

Mine was a size too small and they would'nt let me get a new one.

Who would've thought that you could get so worked up over a simple piece of clothing?

I went to a Catholic elementary school (1 - 6th grade) and we had to wear uniforms. I really didn't mind at that age. If I had gone to a private middle or high school, I'm sure I would have hated it... especially because I identified as "goth" at that time in my life, and having to wear a plaid jumper with matching scrunchies would have driven me %$^*@!& crazy.

 

[Lovelylexi]

My school has a uniform and I HATE it. Khaki pants or shorts and a blue or white polo shirt. I hate polo shirts.

I'd love to be able to wear my own style and show off the cute outfits I have. I'm sure I'd be way more comfortable in them than the school uniform. I think having a school uniform takes away from people's individuality, plus they're so strict about the stupidest things and people will get sent to the office over nothing!

I can't wait for it to be winter. Every year when it gets cold I put on hoodies and sneak on regular shirts underneath. No one ever notices. It's the closest I can get to wearing something I want besides the rare free dress days we might get. Oh yeah, and every Friday we get to wear a school spirit T-shirt, which is much more comfortable than the school uniform shirt.

 

[Improv]

I don't have a school uniform & I wouldn't be upset if they enforced one. It makes no difference to me.

 

[ellabella12345]

Yes, our schools in australia both catholic/private and public do have uniforms C:

 

[Celestefey]

No, I don't have to wear a school uniform as such anymore, since I'm in sixth form, but we have to wear "business attire", so that's basically just smart clothes. Although, my school is really strict in that you have to wear black skirt, black blazer, and a white shirt, 'cause I know other sixth forms will let girls wear dresses provided they're smart and etc. ;; It's probably more uncomfortable wearing this stuff to be honest, too.

 

[nammie]

Never had to wear a uniform, but I kinda wish I did because I think the majority of them are pretty cute and it'd have saved me the hassle of picking out clothes every day lol
