Just because you have to wear a uniform to school doesn’t mean you can’t assert your individuality.
You Will Need
- An image you want to project
- Accessories
- Creativity
Step 1: Know the rules
Know your school’s rules before you make any purchases.
Step 2: Start at the top
Start at the top. Use all kinds of barrettes, headbands, and other hair ornaments. Or tie your hair back with scarves.
Step 3: Accessorize with jewelry
Pick up some cool jewelry—or make something your trademark, like a personalized necklace or unique ring.
Step 4: Scarf it up
Buy a variety of scarves and learn how to tie them in different ways. This alone will give you dozens of looks.
As you add to your accessories, think colors and prints—especially if your school uniform is a somber solid, like navy blue.
Step 5: Cinch it
Forego the standard black leather belt for something unique, like one with a vintage buckle. Or use a scarf as a belt.
Step 6: Tee time
Sneak a bit of color under your regulation shirt with a brightly colored or cool tee.
Step 7: Watch out
Don’t forget watches—they are a great way to add pizzazz to your outfit.
Girls can make a statement with their choice of manicure and polish.
Step 8: Be footloose
If you don’t have to wear a standard loafer or Oxford, shoes are an obvious way to put your best foot forward.
Step 9: Carry it off
Make your backpack a canvas for your personality with charms, pins, patches, and key chains. Or tie a scarf around a pocketbook for a more sophisticated look.
Step 10: Wrap it up
Wrap up your look with a carefully chosen sweater, hoodie, Pashmina, shrug, or cape.
After California’s Long Beach Unified School District adopted a mandatory uniform policy, school crime dropped 76%.
