I realized really none of you know just how *ah* my high school was so here's a thread by me and @emmmmmaa____ giving you a mere taste of what it was like
To ease you in, dress code. No t-shirts. No shirts with words or pictures on them (logos must be smaller than a quarter). The only print allowed was school shirts. Shirts must have sleeves. No bra strap showing, but you had to wear a bra. No "soft part" of your chest showing. 1/?
Men had to wear collared shirts tucked in. Women had to wear skirts/dresses until 7th or 8th grade (it was k-12), and even then we could only wear dress pants or jeans. No blue jeans. And no jeans with patterns or multiple colors (can't attract too much attention to our butts)
No piercings except one in ears, only for women. No tattoos, and they didn't like you writing on your hand bc that resembled tattoos. Natural hair. Natural make-up. Probably lots more I'm forgetting. Basically, you were business casual every day of your childhood.
The dress code was centered around making sure girls weren't "too distracting" to the boys. The boys had two rules: collared shirt and hair shorter than ear length. The girls had the rest. A teacher would stand at the stairs in the morning and check girls' outfits on their way in
