What is your school's dress code?

Well my school has uniforms. Grade 7-12 have to wear formal every Monday, guys probably have it worse as they have to wear a tie and have their shirts tucked in to pants with belts. Girls have a button on tie and below-knee skirt. Then we have casual which is a shirt in the school colours and knee length pants though most girls adjust the length (make them shorter). Oh and we have to wear black leather shoes.

On event days such as the sports carnival we are allowed to dress up. But we are suppose to have sleeved shirts and a few other rules I can't remember but teachers normally let it slide (It's just one day after all).

Teachers manly focus on the whole; no jewellery apart from one set of earrings, black leather shoes and no non-school jumpers.
In younger grades they seem to care about nail polish as well and last year there was this huge thing that if your hair touched your collar it had to be tied up.

A few teachers are much harsher than others for example some will simply tell you to not have the jewellery showing (hiding it under your collar) while others will send it up to the office making you collect it later in the day.

I remember when I went to a Private Christian School ;A; I always had to wear a jumper, and the guys always wore these weird suit-like outfits. I eventually switched over to the male uniform xD My 4th grade teacher couldn't care less. I had to transfer out after that xC My parents realized that all the 'Bible Classes' weren't helping me become a better person, and they really didn't want me to sit through the anti-LGBTQA speeches.
 
∙ A white oxford shirt or a short sleeved oxford shirt.
∙ A black or red vest/cardigan/sweater with the school's logo.
∙ Khakis (No shorts, short skirts, leggings or skinny pants).
∙ A red tie (Optional for females) or a black tie for seniors.


It's considered the 2nd best of the district after a school with no uniform.
 
Entire dress code from School Handbook

Shirts cannot have necklines that are lower than the straight line from top of underarm across to opposite underarm. Display of cleavage is not permitted. Tops may not expose the midriff, and clothing must cover undergarments at all times.

I don't have to wear a uniform in my school since it's an international school, but they forbid midriffs showing, too short shorts/skirts on girls, no bra straps showing, no cleavage, no hats inside etc. Except they're not really that strict since I've seen hundreds of people wearing all of the above. They go through phases of being extremely strict whilst enforcing new rules, then going to not caring at all 2 weeks later lol.
 
Welcome to my school where the skirts are worn as belts, and the guys trousers are so low they could be worn as legwarmers.​

Anyway, we have to wear a school uniform which they recently changed because the neighboring school did. I didn't see the point in them changing it since, unlike the other school which changed the entire uniform to a horribly tacky green and yellow colour, all they did was change the school badge and the blazer colour from navy to black.

We have to wear a blazer with a clip on tie, (yes, you read me right ~ for health and safety I guess), with a white blouse underneath. Then we either wear skirts, trousers or whatever. School shoes have to be black.

My school doesn't allow nail polishes or varnishes of any kind, but that doesn't stop us all... Not allowed any wacky hair colours, such as pinks, reds, greens, blues etc, and hair has to be one colour. No big looped earrings or iconic piercings either.

Hope you had a nice tour!​
 
In my old school the uniform was:
-Bottle green blazer
-House tie (winter uniform)
-White button up shirt (winter uniform)
-House polo shirt (summer uniform)
-Girls grey skirt (not pleated,resting on the knee, any shorter/not grey/pleated you get a warning)
-Grey trousers, different cut for boys and girls.
-Black shoes, any style (no boots or heels)
Anything not on this list or in the wrong style and you get a warning, so no hoodies, trainers, jumpers, etc.

In my college it is more relaxed, sort of...
Boys can wear anything as long as it is not revealing, so they have to wear a top and their underwear cannot be showing.
Girls can wear anything as long as it is not revealing, so any top can be worn as long as it doesn't show too much cleavage and any trousers can be worn as long as they are modest.
Boys tend to be called out most for their clothing due to saggy trousers or, during the summer mainly, not wearing a top. (Seriously their chests aren't that impressive anyway, unless you are into flab.) Girls tend not to be called out on since we are trusted with what we wear and the college doesn't partake in victim blaming, so guys oggling girls are punished instead of the girl being punished. (Misogyny is also not tolerated, I really love my college)

My school has a business-type dress code (not uniform though..)

-No sneakers/shorts (only permitted in P.E)
-Boys are required to wear slacks, button-down collared shirt, and tie for the entire school year.. with a suit jacket lol. A V-neck sweater is allowed to be worn only during Autumn and Winter.
-For girls, pants or skirts above the knee are not allowed.. Open-toe shoes are allowed only for the first and last two months of the school year.

Apparently, i got caught wearing a zipper hoodie and teacher said it wasn't 'sweater material', what the hell 'sweater material', i don't get it.
 
Gee, I haven't been in school for awhile. In middleschool I went to a catholic school. Uniforms and everything.
 
well most people at our school (unless you're a senior you may have) have never actually seen our principal so saying that we really don't have a dress code. like hardly at all, (you can't come in underwear or a bra) but I've seen some stuff really close to it. the one rule they do inforce is no hats
