Whether your teenage girl attends a private or public school the need
for high quality and fashionable school uniforms is essential. Lately
parents and teachers have expressed concern over the outfits worn by
children in schools and have even suggested that certain trends and
styles are leading to alienation, anti-social behavior and in some cases
aggressive actions. While studies may never show conclusively that
clothing causes any specific type of behavior as a parent the best you
can do is outfit your young girl with safe school uniforms that include
polo shirts, knee length shorts, scooter skirts and drop-waist jumpers.
If
your teenage girl attends a private school you won't have to worry
since the school will certainly let you know what the dress code is and
how strictly it is enforced. However, is she will be attending a public
or state school the rules on fashion may not be so set in stone and that
means you as a parent need to exercise good judgment on what is
appropriate.
You are better off setting a conservative tone to
stay on the safe side. Your teenager will want to express herself but
suggestive clothing has caused uproars in schools across the country and
unless you want to be embroiled in a fashion scandal it's a good idea
to stick with basic khaki pants, rider skirts and drop-waist jumpers.
Simple, classic and safe khaki pants are a staple of any wardrobe and
will present a clean and neat look for girls. Whether pleated, narrow or
flat you can find khaki pants with legs that fit your girls shape and
particular style.
If recreation and physical education is a part
of your girl's curriculum you will want to provide simple and basic
elastic waist pull-on shorts. Available in a wide variety of sizes and
colors the athletic pull-on shorts are knee length in shape which fits a
more conservative dress code and also feature poly/cotton twill that is
easy to care for. If you girl needs comfortable shorts for class on
warm fall and spring days Bermuda shorts are a great option. You can
also shop for high quality and stylish Capri pants that has top-stitch
detail, button appliqué and contrast waist facing.
