Some
people like the idea of a dress code; other people
don't. Dress codes are used in many kinds of
situations. For example, there are dress codes in
schools, in offices, in military groups, and in
religious groups. When
you finish reading them, send us your opinions.
Some people say a dress code is bad because there is no freedom or individuality. I agree; however, school uniforms were convenient for me in high school because I did not have to choose clothes or buy many clothes.
I don't think we need dress codes because wearing clothes is a way to express individuality. I want to wear clothes that I like, so I don't think school uniforms are necessary. However, a school uniform is a symbol of the school.
Japanese judo athletes wear white clothes in competitions. People in the military must wear uniforms. Some companies require suits with ties for men workers. At my high school, we had to put badges of the schools on our uniforms, and we could only wear white socks.
When I was a high school student, we had some school rules; mainly it was a dress code. We had to wear sailor-style uniforms. Then, as in the winter season we felt cold, we wore t-shirts under our uniforms to protect ourselves from the cold. However, our teachers decided to require students not to wear undershirts. Moreover, we had strict rules as to the kind of socks, hair color, and the color of our umbrellas. We had to follow these rules. If we didn't, we were punished.
In some countries, there is a rule that women have to cover themselves from head to toe. They can't see the sunshine. They can't even talk.
We had a dress code in my high school. We had to wear uniforms and white socks. We didn't like our dress code. The teachers warned us, "If you don't follow the school dress code, you will be considered bad students." I didn't agree with their ideas because they didn't think about the student's rights. We wanted them to understand our ideas. In my junior high school, boys were skin heads because of the school dress code. We wanted to change it, so we discussed it with the teachers and with our parents. At last, we got the right to change the school dress code.
I thought that a dress code was not a good idea when I was in high school because I had to wear a uniform that I didn't like. However, if we wear clothes which we want to wear at a company, it' okay.
I think that a dress code has good and bad points.
When we wear uniforms, we don't need extra money for clothes. For example, if we have a school uniform, we wear it every day, so we don't need to buy dresses to wear to school. I think secondhand clothes are also a good idea. These are much cheaper than new ones.
I think a dress code is a bad thing because we can not show our individuality. We humans each have individuality, so we had better show it to other people. If we have a dress code, we all look alike, but we are different.
I think that a school dress code is sometimes good and sometimes bad. A uniform show which school a student goes to. You know if a stranger comes to school.
To wear the same clothes is an effective way to unite people into one way of thinking. For example, military clothes do this. In some societies, they want to increase their unity and power by making people wear the same clothes.
A dress code sometimes means women must strictly cover their faces. I think this is very strange.
A school dress code requires a uniform. A dress code has good points and bad points. One good point is that everyone wears the same clothes so there is not a problem about clothes sense.
