I go to a Catholic school, and uniforms at school are a must. This year, they weren’t so bad: Polos with the school logo, school logo hoodies, any kind of khakis, and dress shoes.
However, they changed the dress code for next year and our khakis have to be the disgusting pleated kind that have to get pulled all the way up past our belly buttons and now khaki skirts are incorporated in (but they’re really ugly). Hoodies are banned and we all have to wear ugly v-neck sweatshirts that have a school logo on the side. Polos are still allowed and we can wear oxford shirts with skirts.
I’m not sure if there’s accessorizing limits or set sock colors or anything, so just assume that I’m allowed to do what I want and please, please help me with my dilemma!
i go to a tech school and we also use uniform except we only have to wear a polo shirt with the color of your acdemy and no capris. what i do is use an under shirt of whatever color i feel like wearing and then make it match my headband or maybe my purse or earring n bracelets or my makeup (nothing big maybe just a little eyeshadow is al it takes). you can also use another polo of another color under ur regular polo and it’ll look nice especialy if you match it with something lyk i said before. You can never go wrong with pearls!! Also try doing something nice and fun for ur hair .well good luck!
I think you’ve mostly already answered your own question: accessories. Find out what the limits are, and work with them. I would think that nice but simple jewelry would still be acceptable. Are there fun things you can do with your hair? (I assume there are makeup limits, too) The uniform sounds awful, but there are still ways you can express your individuality.
You can’t really change your school uniform but you could always talk to the person in charge. Be gentle with them and try not to insult their style, or else it will definately not happen. I hope things work out.
If your school requires you to wear them, just try to flare up your personality to express your individuality. Otherwise, accessorize and make up excuses not to wear the sweatshirts.
When wearing a polo shirt, jazz it up by putting a tye on that contrast’ w/ you’r shirt!!!! Hope that this helps!!!!
