That’s why it’s nice to have a clothes closet with free uniforms. No one ever had to pay for uniforms if they didn’t want to at any of the schools we went to.
I would say most people don’t already have their clothes for school.
Uniforms are really easy on parents too because kids just know what they are supposed to wear.
I also like strict dress codes. My daughters are going to a new private school this year, and they don’t have uniforms, just a very strict dress code. They can wear jeans or capris or dresses/skirts to just above the knee. For shirts, they have to wear plain or patterned (stripes, florals, polka dots, plaid) shirts. They can’t wear any shirts with graphics, no spaghetti straps.
Basically, my girls are going to be wearing jeans/capris and a polo shirt. I found a store with lots of different colored polo shirts for $7, and I bought a ton of them.
