<p>ahhhhh, I was pointing to hisgracefillsme's post but whatever, school uniform must suck though I have to admit, it's not like the school system's already trying to control your life</p>
<p>I guess preppy sophisticated look, if you really want to break the rules.</p>
<p>Honestly, it's not that bad.</p>
<p>Do I like it? Not really. Do I wish I could wear my comfy jeans and t-shirts to school every day? Of course. But the truth is it's just not worth the struggle. Besides...people know what you look like, no one's going to be like "OMG YOU DIDN'T WEAR THE RIGHT CLOTHES ON THE FIRST DAY SHUNNNNN."</p>
<p>You're not in Middle School anymore.</p>
<p>Even middle school, you can't get away with it. When it comes to attire, my high school is kind of lenient. Keep in mind, I go to private school. (The epitomy of strict schools)</p>
<p>hmm i'd say talk to some friends first. if you're the only one not wearing the uniform it would look pretty dumb. but if not, then just wear your favorites.</p>
<p>if your school doesn't care then do something really CRAZY, and stop doing things just make an impression on others, on the other hand, that's what most people try to do these days...</p>
<p>I know some public schools around here that are even more strict than the private schools. Honestly, the private schools here just means that Mommy and Daddy have money. They're not that strict.</p>
<p>Anyways. Just wear the uniform. The teachers and administration may act like they don't care, but the fact is that if you break the most simple rules on the first day you'll seem like a troublemaker and they'll be keeping an eye on you.</p>
<p>Wearing a uniform really isn't that bad. And I don't think it'll make a great impression on people if you break rules the first day.</p>
<p>"just make an impression on others, on the other hand, that's what most people try to do these days..."</p>
<p>Even YOU! Everlane!</p>
<p>Think about it, when you grow up, you'll want to make an impression to the person interviewing you for a job right? Exactly. So you sound hypocritical saying that because I'm sure you've done it before and if you're a person looking to go into the corporate world, you're going to have to go through an interview? And of course, making an impression counts. And of course again, attire is a big thing!</p>
<p>No, Katie. I'm not the only one. The Majority of my senior class doesn't wear uniform. They think its too lame.</p>
<p>I just hate wearing uniform because it annoys me. I've been obedient and wore it for freshman and sophomore year straight and now it irks me</p>
<p>Woooo SoCal!!! Represent gurl.</p>
<p>Hehehe. Just had to throw that in there. But I totally agree with you.</p>
<p>What part of SoCal are you in?</p>
<p>What you're talking about is completely different, So Authentic.</p>
<p>You're talking about breaking the rules to seem cool to a bunch of people you most likely already know. Wearing nice clothes to an interview is different-that person doesn't even know you. Plus, that's more of an etiquette thing than anything else.</p>
<p>Agoura Hills. About half an hour away from LA.</p>
<p>Yeah, I agree with HisGraceFillsMe. Dressing nicely for an interview does not involve rule-breaking.</p>
<p>You guys did really understand the point everlane was trying to make</p>
<p>HisGrace, no not really. I already stated its not to try to be cool. Its trying to make an impression on teachers. And right about now, They really don't give a squat about whether you wear uniform or not. Get what i mean? I geuss the whole punk rock option was a joke but still</p>
<p>I meant trying to look cool/anti-fad or whatever, but gosh I see you guys everywhere (squirrel_monkey and hisgracefillsme)</p>
<p>No, I don't.</p>
<p>Your teachers don't care what you dress like, they care about what kind of student you are. And take it from someone who wants to be a teacher one day: breaking the rules really doesn't make a good impression, even if the rule isn't strictly enforced.</p>
<p>Wait impression on the teachers with what you wear? wouldn't putting too much effort into that type of appearance make them think you don't care that much about classes? unless it's those teachers who wants to be liked among students I suppose</p>
<p>XD yeah, I'm omni-present.</p>
<p>hehe just kidding.</p>
<p>It does depend somewhat on the teacher. Some teachers are very rigid; others like "being different," especially young ones.</p>
<p>or I shouldn't be on here and talking about what another person should wearing for the first day of school...hey you're a guy, if you don't like the uniform, wear a t-shirt and shorts, jeans if it's too cold, and get a mohawk or something...</p>
