My high school got crazy strict with the dress code after the Columbine school shooting, the only thing we were allowed to wear was khaki colored pants and solid color polo shirts that HAD to be tucked in with a belt. We could wear a jacket or a cardigan to school but we weren't allowed to wear them during school and we had to wear closed toed shoes like tennis shoes or boots but oddly enough no combat style boot. And we had to have a mesh or clear backpack. No unnatural hair colors either. They did away with this strict dress code a few years ago but still no denim colored jeans.
Mine was horrible, forbidden to wear any sporty clothes, basic shirt, jeans, sneakers, etc.. We had the right to wear chino, legging, transparent blouse, button down shirt, high heels, heavy make up, polo shirt, mini skirt but we were forbidden to wear a basic jeans or a simple hoodie or sport jacket. My dress code was crazy at my school.
Yes, we had an awesome uniform. We had different dress codes for different seasons. Like for the summers it was a shirt, tie and a waistcoat along with matching pants, in winter months we had an option of either wearing a jacket instead of the waistcoat or wear a sweater with the shirt and tie. For sports like horse riding and stuff we had different uniforms as well.
All of mine had one but none were as strict as my 8th grade dress code. We had to wear white polos with dark blue slacks. For warmth we could wear a dark blue sweater but it had to be one color with no markings.
I really liked that dress code because I didn't have a lot of clothes then and was insecure about it.
My high school was a private catholic school, so we had a dress code but it could have been worse. You had to have on some sort of collar, no shorts allowed, no blue jeans, and I specify “blue” jeans because back then, fortunately for us, colored denim was in style, so I wore jeans everyday, they were just green, maroon, white, purple, and this one pair that was vertical stripes in basically the Charlotte Hornets’ team colors lmao. My way around the collar rule: it was cool to wear hockey jerseys back then, often over a hoodie. So I’d wear that, and then I had the neck of a turtleneck (which you wouldn’t be caught dead in outside of school) that I’d basically wear around my throat to pass as a collar. They’d try to bust my balls about it but it was technically in bounds. That was really it, it wasn’t too bad. Every year there would be a rumor circulating that starting the next year we were switching to a shirt & tie with a blazer, so we’d all sweat that until we were seniors and just perpetuated the tradition with the younger guys, haha.
Back in grade-school, we wore uniforms like these:
These are from the same school I attended, but the designs have changed over the years, though only by a tiny bit. (Guys wore brown shorts, not pants.) The girls' uniform doesn't seem to have changed much from what I remember, but Japan's influence should be obvious for both.
Then, I came to the U. S. and studied in a local private-school. The formal dress-uniforms looked good, but the casual uniforms… left much to be desired.
My high school had uniforms which consisted of dress shoes, dress pants, a white gulf shirt, and a vest or sweater to wear overtop of our gulf shirt. Once a month we’d have a dress down day and we could wear whatever we wanted as long as it wasn’t inappropriate.
At my old high school? You could only wear jeans on Friday. Had to wear dress shoes. Wednesdays required church attire. They were big on enforcing rules for outward behavior, but not very effective at positive motivation for reshaping inner attitude. The result? I aimed mostly to do the right thing in life after leaving, but made it clear I wasn't doing it for them. Most of my peers when they got free? Rebelled in every way possible.
Well we have uniforms so yeah pretty strict. Also on "civil days" which is basically when we can wear casual clothes, it's a shirt with sleeves and you can't see your belly if you raise your hands, and jeans without holes. A stupid rule really. Let me be myself for a day damn
Nope, I never went to a school that had a dress code. I had a friend who wore fishnets all the time, so I guess they weren't too bothered by much of anything. lol The only thing I can think of that was frowned upon was, as you said, gang-like stuff or guys who wore their pants below their ass like a moron. lol
When I was in high school, we had uniforms. Polo shirts ans slacks. I have since worked at various schools, with a range of dress codes. From a dress doe similar to my high school, to one that didn't really care if girls dressed as described in the image (although would have given the boys dress code for sagging so in that case are the boys being targeted?)
My school did. We had uniforms. Couldn't wear your hair down, no bracelets, earrings, etc. No nail polish, couldn't dye your hair any color. No beard or stubble, couldn't try to "fix" your hairline, etc.
My middle school was strict and mostly due to one single teacher, it was very aggressively enforced, like you can't have a hat on school property (even in a backpack). High school was the opposite, they didn't really care.
Mine was T-shirt, tie, belt, long navy pants, socks and blazer. Had to wear nice shoes too. All with school logo or colours. Including the belt! (Not the shoes just black shoes)
I wouldn't characterize my school's dress code as strict, but I would characterize it as intellectually inconsistent and sexist.

None of my schools had a dress code. However, they were strict about wearing caps / hats while in the building - it was forbidden and teachers would remove your cap from your head. Students were also not meant to have vulgar text on their clothes.
Yes , our school district didn't allow clothes above the mid drift and bellies showing , no shorts above the knee , no skirts above the knee, no cut offs
Not private school, but I had to by new clothes just for school (like polos, jeans that aren't skinny, plain long sleeves and new hoodies/sweaters) and I don't wear anything revealing or any tang tops (unless it's under a flannel)
we had a school uniform so the only times i saw a girls knickers in school was when they had netball or hockey class when we had football or rugby. sixth form was different and kids went wild in what they wore once they didn't have to wear uniforms
Strict, no, juat a normal one, I have seen girls bellies here and these, no biggie
