Most public schools don't have a dress code, as far as I know. They are predominant in certain areas, though.

Our dress code was almost ridiculous
No flip flops
no "unnaturally" colored hair
no sleeveless shirts
no baggy pants
skirts and shorts' hemline can't be more than 6 inches above your knee
no piercings besides ears
no vulgarity on t-shirts
etc
What? I would have been kicked out of your school the first time I came wearing makeup ... or maybe after getting my lips pierced, or my arms tattooed.
I guess I always took it for granted that I was allowed to walk around my highschool with my chest / arm tattoos showing and all my piercings in.
I can understand the "no skirts above ..." and "no vulgarity on tshirts" stuff, maybe sort of, but the rest of it is ridiculous.
oh yeah, no visible tattoos. Forgot about that one.
And when guys wore makeup (usually eyeliner) they were heavily reprimanded by the principal.
Really? =O I'm shocked about the hair color one. I've never heard of a school outside of Japan doing that.
My dress code was... well... there was none. As long as you were dressed, it was pretty okay. I think a bitchy teacher yelled at me once for a strapless top, but that as it. It was pretty cool.
It was the same for me in high school, with the no unnaturally colored hair. Also, shirts that girls wore had to have straps that were at least two fingers thick, shorts/skirts had to go at least down to below where your hands rested on your sides, etc etc. It really was pretty strict and kinda absurd.Really? =O I'm shocked about the hair color one.

Half of those things would totally not work in my school. I had a few teachers with heavy tattoos, nose piercings, very dyed hair, etc. XD
We had that skirt rule - technically. But no one really ever bothered. It more really depended on the body type of the person. If a skinny boy-body girl was wearing a mega short skirt, no one cared, because there was nothing to even see. But if a heavy girl wore a shorter skirt, they'd get called away, because it's a lot more noticeable and... fleshy! Same with cleavage. Two girls could wear the same top, but if one girl had mega-tatas, she'd get yelled at. Probably not fair, but I guess I can see where they're coming from.
Yes, but stu and I lived in two districts of Conservatopia.
Dress code from High school.
No vulgarity on shirts.
Keep your underwear from showing.
No big hats.
Dress code for college: Wear clothes. This is actually in the handbook we got at orientation. xD
My schedule was worse than anyone else ever and if you claim otherwise you are a liar, I have it worst and this proves that I am the most intelligent
In other news my schools all had uniforms, but the enforcement of such got progressively less as time went on. By the middle of HS only the bitchface French teacher gave aanymore. I was going in with a bleached mohawk, teal hair, trenchcoat, etc. etc. and I can only recall a couple of people who actually wore their uniform properly. The best managed by the rest of us was a color scheme which happened to match.
I'm actually really interested now in everyone's dress codes. I wonder if there's a website that lists school dress codes nation wide. I wonder which school is most conservative.
Ironically, though we had barely any dress-code, our Halloween was taken away because people dressed "inappropriately."
