How strict was your school’s dress code?


Relatively loose, but relatively strict at the same time, at least in high school. It was a private parochial school, so it was a little tight in that we had to wear a shirt with a collar, and button-down shirts had to be tucked in. You had to wear long pants, but no BLUE jeans were allowed, like your standard light/medium/dark wash denim…BUT you could wear other colors, and luckily for me (then…not so much in retrospect😂), it was the mid-90s and we were wearing shit like my boy “Marky Mark” Wahlberg here in this Cross Colours ad….

I literally had that same green Canadian Tuxedo those two guys are wearing, except instead of the full jacket, it was a VEST. The line forms to the left, ladies, but I can’t promise I’ll get to you😝 I did at least wear shirts underneath them, lmao. But I had the jeans/vest combo in white, green, purple, maroon…just fly beyond belief.
One time we had a day where we got dress how we wanted if we made like a $10 donation to some charity, and one of the dudes in my grade took full advantage and wore a Marilyn Manson t-shirt that just said “I AM THE GOD OF FUCK” in huge letters on the back, so he was suspended by like second period and we never got a day like that again in my time there, hahaha. Marilyn Manson wasn’t even big yet, that kid was a trendsetter😝
I went to public school through 8th grade, so that was pretty relaxed, but around 7th/8th grade there was this fad of “Big Johnson’s” t-shirts that were supposed to read like advertisements for a business or product, and the slogan and illustration would be heavily-laden with fairly risqué sexual innuendos, and it wasn’t too long before those got banned.

And, in two more “only in the 90s” examples, the gals from the R&B group TLC, especially Left Eye, were promoting safe sex and were pinning condoms to their clothes as a fashion statement, and some girls started copying it, and they shut that down QUICK, like in a day or two. The school was just like “absolutely NOT, you’re like 13 years old”, lmfao

We fellas were on another short-lived fad at the time…. the Kriss Kross look. They were the same age as us, and I guess just none of us were old enough to know better, lmao. We got that in for like three weeks, then they made a rule we could only do it like one day a month or something, and it just didn’t last that long, so it just faded out and we were onto the next thing.
Still absolutely SLAPS though😎 And I would absolutely endorse the return of baseball jerseys to popular style…just wear them frontwards though…

Well, my first few years were in Catholic school and I had to wear gray pants, a white button up shirt, a long sleeve green sweater (I could take it off if it was hot) and a little snap on tie.
Middle school and high school i went to a non Catholic school. We had to wear jeans or dress/khaki pants, shirts with collars, that had to be tucked in and boys hair had to be cut short enough to be off of your collar. We had to shave, no beards. Mustaches were permitted.
Girls had be modest. I don't recall what the specifics were.
in my middle school we had a half uniform where we were allowed to only wear white, navy blue and red stuff that didn't have logos or pattern. though people frequently pushed the rules and would wear different shades of blue, logos and stuff like that (hated my parents for not letting me push rules like most people in my class :/ like to be popular you had to). you couldnt wear short short or skirts that were too short, or the dean could measure with a ruler to see if you had the ok lenghth or not if he noticed (a lot of people pushed this too). if you disrespected the uniform they would give you oversized gym clothes to hide the stuff or you had to take nasty stuff from the lost and found that fit the dresscode, if you were caught by the dean or teachers who gave a fuck that is. in both high schools i went too though there was zero dresscode and you could honestly wear anything, even like extreme goth stuff or skimpy hoe fits
No school uniform. I learned actively, that crop tops where not allowed. Teachers where allowed to not acceot specific too revealing things but that never really was a problem. Maybe today it is.

We had a uniform because the dressing normal was a day youd pay to dress how you want so they made money that way, and they were of course restrictions and I'd get a dress code violation if I didn't wear uniform, I never did, I took the dress code violations and eventually got CSI where I had to clean the school, it was more fun than class anyways and I befriended all the custodians, I was basically a custodian cause it got to the point is skip class and let myself get caught so I could sleep in there and after lunch clean the school where it was mostly goofing off tbh
Just uniforms, black pants or skirt and white polo tops the only thing that really changes over here in England is the sweaters/jackets.
Jackets and Sweaters would be somewhat different depending on school for example black or grey or blue. Same way ties are also different. Schools just had different branding really. But it's all mostly the same. Therefore would say exactly Strick, as well you either wore your uniform or you were sent home.
And always in irony, I find girls way more attractive in those uniforms than their own stuff that's trying to hard to be attractive. We have a special day in a year where you could pay a pound to come not in uniform and I swear girls that were 7s became 4s just by their own bad choices of clothes that were trying to be attractive.
Things more casual or smart seem to just be more attractive.
When I was in high school we had to wear a jacket and tie. In junior year we had a demonstration and threatened to sue the school because they were trampling on our freedom of expression. In a stunning move the principal called an assembly and very quietly called an end to the dress code.
The was hardly any dress code when I started high school in the early 90's. There were some cholas that would come to school dressed like hookers, and the surfer dudes would wear tank tops and flip flops. They banned all that when I was in 10th grade with a new dress code.
uniforms and punishment. they claimed so the rich can't mock the poor clothes.
movies preserved that problem too.
When I went to school, there was no uniform. Just wear normal clothing. Bad language and holes in pants, etc didn’t exist in the 80’s where I was 👍🙂
I always went to schools that had a uniform. I doubt it fits me anymore. 😈👿👀😋
We had no dress code. We just dressed how we wanted as long as it isn’t crazy. I once was wearing a wrestling mask to school for a couple minutes walking into the hallway with a lot of people.
No uniforms, just casual clothes were okay. Just be covered.
Mine didn't have a dress code, you could wear whatever.
"Appropriate for professional working environment." In practice was more lax than that, but that was the official dress code.
Same as a public restaurant. Love that sky blue dress on a great body.
Very, everyday there was checking and if the uniform was not proper then the students weren't allowed to attend the class.
Not that strict, but it would be like the basic school dress codes
We had no dress code.
Same, we had to wear uniforms as well.
as long as boy and girl same uniform?
@strateguy632 both gender had shirts. Girls had to wear skirts and boys had pants.
You sound like those rules were broken a lot...
My HS had a very liberal dress code.
