So to look down upon youth who choose to wear there clothes a certain way isn't necessary in some cases. This causes teens to detour from their goals in life because of the worries they have at home. Who wouldn't want to graduate high school, attend a college or university, suceed, and go on to have a professional job doing something they love. On a day-to-day basis instead living life unsecure and not live on a steady income. Everybody wants security in life, it just so happens some people go about having that security in the wrong way. I also agree with another statement that Judge Mathis makes in this article that suburban sociteys may also listen to the same music as urban socities. Urban socities tend to believe that everybody is on the same boat with lesser oppurtunites. But at the end of the day they go back to superior schools and more stable households that not everybody has had the oppurtunity to…
As they frivolously pursue riches, they are only filled with emptiness: a hole that the American people still search to fill. As we enter the 90’s and even to the present day we are trying to find fulfilment in something; however, we have been conditioned to value money to the extent that it inhibits us from pursuing grander goals. As the time changed from the Civil Rights social justice movements of the 60’s and early 70’s to the escapism and focus on self and wealth in the late 70’s to 80’s, we witness significant changes reflected in what we value, how we think, and what we wear. James Laver said, “When seen in retrospect, fashions seem to express their era”, and this is clearly true from the analysis we have seen. Really, our fashion throughout history tells us a story; however, it is just an excerpt of an ongoing story continuing to today. History is not as easily partitioned as it appears to be here. Fashion and fads constantly evolving to reflect their eras. The story is fluid and the lines are inscrutable. Ultimately, Fashion reflects the society that it once represented. When taken apart carefully, within the proper context, it reveals the story of people: who they were, who they became, what they valued, and in a very simple manner, what they…
Each generation of Americans has their own unique fashion story that has been influenced by the events of the time. Whether it was the flapper of the Roaring Twenties, or the suburban housewife of the Fifties, each decade of woman carved out their place in fashion history. From the Lost Generation to the Millennial Generation, we can see the way current events have affected the way our society clothes itself. We can see the evolution of hemlines and silhouettes, hairdos and accessories, and they can all be related back to the fears and the aspirations of society as a whole. There are so many factors that influence the way we dress. War, politics, the economy, celebrities, and social issues are all factors in determining the fashion trends of each and every American generation.…

The purpose of the dress code is to have a better understanding that students do not come here to show off their style, but to come here to learn and get a better education. Students fail to realize the difference between dressing for success and dressing to impress. Dress code is nothing new to our society; many jobs require you to wear certain types of clothing or a uniform. Therefore, these schools are simply preparing their students to have a successful and bright future. Students should be more concerned about what they can learn, not what they can or cannot wear. Education is what motivates student’s people to the top of the platform their wardrobe. “Be careless in your dress if you will, but keep a tidy soul (Twain)”. Students should beware, their future will not depend on…
None of the schools I have attended had a uniform requirement and many students dressed in ways I found inappropriate. The private school I attended had a strict dress code but public school teachers often overlook the violation of dress code. School uniforms bring a more formal look; giving the school a better reputation and creating a sense of belonging among the students. My style is very diverse and reveals my general interests, whether it be nerdy shirts, girly clothing or vintage outfits from the 40's. Personally, I have always been comfortable in my clothing whether I fit in with others or not. In fact, I always prefer to look different and I have more than enough clothing to express my unique style. I do, however, have friends that always feel under pressure to wear the right clothing and often borrow clothes from me. It is reasons such as these why all schools should require uniforms. School uniforms may be the prominent aspect of our society’s road to success in educating its…

The American culture has had many different trends. Though older individuals have never quite approved of young men and women’s dress code, it has been excepted and never severely charged. Fashion trends have become an expression of one’s personal style among today’s youth. In some cases, it can be thought that a certain type of dress is directly connected to performance, attitude, and overall behavior in school, outside activities, and life in general. The continued argument between parents and their children over what is considered to be deceit has lasted since the beginning of time. A very popular yet rarely fashion statement among teenagers these have raised the question of indecency and criminal activity to many older concerned individuals. Sagging pants worn below the waist line, intentionally revealing undergarments is considered by some to be highly inappropriate, to such a degree that action must be taken. The style of pants sagging was said to be founded by people in prison. It’s a style that was copied from incarcerated individuals that were gay. This inappropriate trend has started an epidemic in the world that keeps growing. The style of sagging pants has affected communities throughout the world.

The students at Belleville West have no say in the dress code. No expression or voice, as if they do not matter in a sense. The U.S. holds freedom dear, so why are the students not showing it in the way they dress? Some of the world’s greatest minds expressed themselves not only through their articulation but also in their dress.…
Students like to dress with creativity and follow a trend, like skinny jeans but with dress code this will never happen. School dress code limits students from expressing themselves. One teen student was asked to cover up at the school dance. She said, “It made me feel like I wasn’t good…
A student in the United States can never be sure if they will be dress-coded on any day. Enforcing dress codes shows students that how they dress is more important than their education. Students are too often pulled from classrooms and sent to the office to wait for new clothes to be brought from home, or for other teachers to decide…
Many schools have opted out of allowing children and adolescents to free willingly choose what to wear to school, and instead have strictly enforced a school uniform policy with hopes of diverting student focus to mainly their schooling. Those who believe it has a positive effect claim that with all students looking equal they have nothing, and no one, to compete with or feel inferior to. Children, and adolescents especially, will always want to feel like their own individual. Taking away their right to express who they are with something as minuscule a graphic t-shirt leaves the door for other means of self-expression wide open, often leading to terrible choices that could possibly hinder them later in life.…
Clothes are an expression of a student’s personality. By suppressing their opportunity to show their unique personalities, schools are teaching that uniformity is more valuable than individuality. “School uniforms send a clear early-life message to students that conformity is important and creativity is not” (youdebate.com). Geeks, for example, might express themselves by wearing thick glasses, suspenders and long socks. On the other hand, outgoing students might wear vibrant colors and outlandish fashion. Then, there are shy children, who might choose to wear long clothing and mostly black. These are just a few examples of students dressing according to certain categories with which they might identify themselves. The possibilities of individually expressing oneself through clothes are infinite. However, uniforms stifle these possibilities; they keep students from expressing their personality.…
