Currently at my high school, students are complaining about the dress code standards. This current code entitles: no short shorts, baggy pants, no strapless shirts, no clothing representing violence, no clothing with improper statements, and not hats unless it's our school hat. Almost every student violates the dress code and their consequence is to change into what the school administrators give you to wear. If these students complain incessantly, will it change the dress code? I believe that it is possible that it can make a difference and yes these students should wear what they want to wear. .
Self-expression can be represented through clothing. Having the ability to express and show how students feel at the time and on that day through their clothes. For example, when a female is happy, usually she wears bright, positive colors, spreading the happiness. Other students relate to one another and understand one another on how they feel. Having their in-commons bring them together. When someone can relate and share their stories and their same feelings with another, it can make the other feel not alone and not so different. .
For some students, staying in fashion is important, their self-image is important. Other students give one another compliments and positive statements, eventually making the outcome of the day wonderful for them. For example, people love it when they get compliments and when a person gets a positive compliment they start to think to themselves about someone noticing them and their self-esteem rises. When a student feels good, then they look good and that is a fact. .
Personality is an important feature to have as a person. Through clothing students can be able to tell what type of person they are. For example, if a student is dressed in a shirt stating a joke or a funny statement on it then others know that the student has a humorous side to them. Presenting what they like and what they"re into shows who they are and what they are about.
