Dress Codes / Uniforms
#1
Posted 06 August 2003 - 12:34 AM
At my workplace we have a uniform thing going on -- we have to wear a store t-shirt and tan pants/shorts/whatnot. I support this, and think it's quite a good idea. First of all, it seperates the employee from the customer. Second of all, you don't have to think about what you're going to wear to work every morning. And third of all, 'inappropriate' dress doesn't become a problem.
At my school we have a bit of a lax, loosely enforced dress-code. The whole idea is pretty stupid, and no one follows it anyway. There's no point to a school dress-code, and school uniforms are just plain stupid. Yes, school is a place to learn, but it's a social environment as well, and I fail to see how having all kids look the same improves upon that. I don't know about you, but I don't recall clothes interrupting any of my classes. As for 'distractions' with scantly-clad females, having them wear uniforms isn't going to stop any guys from thinking about their female classmate's butt. Especially since most girl's uniforms contain a skirt (!?).
Your thoughts?

The workplace is a little different. I don't mind my company dress code; it gives me an excuse to wear a nifty suite, and they don't mind my hair.

Seeing as I actually went to a school with a uniform, I can second that. Sure, the girls might complain that their uniform is more of a sack than a dress, but that doesn't stop the boys from trying to get a glimpse of their underwear when they sit down. And while it might tone down other areas, some things just can't be hidden under cotton.

That dress code is worse then the country club I go to. The rules are: collard shirt tucked in, no denim, and hat most be forwards.
My school's dress code is very lax. Basically, you must wear clothes.
<ignore>Is that school's dress code legal? It seems it would go against freedom of speech.</ignore>
I don't have a problem with the dress codes that I have to follow.

Our dress code is basically never enforced, and in fact occasionally broken by some of the younger teachers.
Same thing at my school.
We have the occational (1 or 2 a year, max) 'dress days', where we have to wear suit and ties and the like. I actually like those: one or two days a year, you get to dress up for school.
In general, I have no real problems with my school and it's dress codes.

With all the running around and the like we do, we're usually on the hot side. And it doesn't get cold in there... Although I have seen one person in a sweatshirt and it wasn't really a problem.

Our school has a dress code wherein you have to buy a shirt from the school with the school logo stamped on it. It sucks. And its enforced like hell.
Don't you even bitch about the dress code, first of all the shirts are damn cheap, second of all its better then what we use to wear, third of all you have one more year of it so what do you care, and fourth of all its only a shirt.
Bah humbug!

At my school, girls have to wear shorts below their fingertips, shirts that reach the top of their pants, and three-inch straps. I don't mind really. I'm a girl, but I wear t-shirts and jeans all the time anyway. Guys really don't have any restrictions, as long as they wear clothes that aren't pajamas (girls can't wear pajamas either).
But eh. Whatever.

I have attended uniform schools before, and disliked it greatly. Everythings the same, there's no color to my day... kind of depressing at times. Then they complained about how little things were not to code. My pants had a different tag, and the buttons on my shirt were not a solid color...!! BULL****!! I know not all uniform school are like that, but that was enough to make me want to dress whatever way I damn well please.

The Journalist is correct though, at our school people are very easy about what we wear. But ya know, I tried wearing a spaghetti strap shirt and Mickey Mouse pj bottoms to school for PJ day, (my b/f likes spaghetti straps with pj's) So, I wore it to school, and the teachers made me change! OMG! And then! They let other girls wear their pj's that were practically identical, only with a bit more cleavage. So, Don't ask me what anyone's thinking.
Also, I've been to private schools, the whole nine yards, they would..
A Make you wear Dennis khaki pants
B Make you wear Dennis white polo shirt (tucked)
C Make you wear Dennis brown or black belt
D Make you wear Dennis white socks
E Make you wear not Dennis!, shoes that tie
F Allow you to only wear ONE piece of jewelry, one ring, one necklace, one bracelet, or one set of earings.

dude3, if I had to see you pantless at school, or anywhere for that matter, I'd scream bloody murder and run like hell home and cry to my mom. Maybe that's stretching it a bit. But, I would scream.
It would be a scream of arousal.
