Re: School Dress Codes

[maverickz3r0]

I went to a high school with uniforms, but it was a pretty lax thing and everyone had a lot of options. None of the guys ever wore the kilts as far as I know, but there was nothing against us doing so.

I think the thing with uniforms is that the rules aren't applied fairly across the sexes. I.e. there are some places where girls are not allowed to wear short skirts or shorts in the summer because it 'shows too much leg' even though they'll overheat if they have to wear something the school considers 'long enough'. So the problem comes from places that put the emphasis on propriety over actual health.

Guys don't wear short shorts though and wife beaters are generally against dress codes too.

Re: School Dress Codes

For a while when I was in middle school, it was actually hard to even find girls' shorts that were long enough.

Re: School Dress Codes

[maverickz3r0]

I don't think that's really equivalent? Guys aren't prevented from wearing any kind of shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, etc. Girls are in some places.

Re: School Dress Codes

[inkdust]

At my school they were, actually. Guys couldn't wear tank tops / shirts with large arm holes, shorts that went far below the knee or too far above. They had to wear collared shirts, no t-shirts. Basically they had fewer options than girls but it was also easier for them to find appropriate clothing in stores.

Re: School Dress Codes

Huh. That makes me wonder if it's at least partly the school policy makers not quite understanding what clothing is available for teenagers. Not that that's really excusable, but still.

Re: School Dress Codes

I'm sure it doesn't help. Some of it just isn't compatible - girls can't show skin above the waistband, which was easy when all the shirts went long when I was in high school, but now shirt hems are rising again, so many shirts will need a layer underneath, which is fine as long as there are long camis available, but if that style changes too? The no t-shirts rule especially makes things tough when current fashions aren't dress code friendly.
