This Troper went to a private school that had the preschool, kindergarten, elementary, and middle schools on the same plot of land. The elementary and middle school kids had to wear a green, blue, burgandy (not red), red, white, or black polo shirt with the school logo on it, polo or navy blue pants, skirts, jumpers, or shorts, and non-open toed shoes. We also couldn't dye our hair, put our hair in crazy hairstyles, wear certain accessories (I forgot what we couldn't wear, but I got away with swearing a sweatband and a watch), and we had a gym uniform of a gray shirt with green or black shorts or pants. Yeah, strict guidelines you'd see at a workplace or private high school at its finest.

This troper's school has one (well, duh...), but she finds the standards to be very strange. For example, she came into school wearing a shirt that was nearly transparent, but when she came in wearing a shirt with a sleeve that slipped off occasionally? DEVIL SHIRT, RIGHT THERE! CHANGE NOW OR PERISH IN HELL!

This troper, frustrated with her place of employment, began finding new ways to skirt the dress code. Her favourite method was to wear what were clearly men's clothes, or to add accessories that were permitted but, when combined with the allowed clothes, completely subverted the cleancut look the company was trying to generate.
