school uniforms
Required student clothing
School uniforms are standardized clothing that students at a particular institution are required to wear.
Typically consisting of specific colors, styles, and items—polo shirts, blazers, pleated skirts, or khaki pants—they aim to promote equality, reduce distraction, and foster institutional identity.
Debates persist over whether uniforms improve discipline and academic performance or suppress individuality: The district voted to require school uniforms starting next fall.
