How to Spice Up Girl's School Uniforms

It sucks to wear the same outfit to school every day, but it sure beats being late for class every morning cuz you can't decide what to wear! But then again, school uniforms can be pretty blah, right? So find out how to make your simple school uniform into one that's stand-out stylish!

School Uniforms - Skirting the Issue

Uniform skirts tend to be knee-length or longer, but if your school is a little relaxed about skirt lengths, try folding down the waistband a couple of times. Just don't go overboard and roll up your skirt into a mini!

School Uniforms - Bling It On!

Bling-ify your uniform with jewelry! Pile on jelly bracelets, wooden bracelets, or gold and silver bangles - but don't stop there. Necklaces, earrings, rings, watches and hair accessories are an awesome way to stand out in a sea of uniforms. Backpacks are another great way to express your personal style. Stick on some cool stickers or iron-on patches, attach funky pins and clips, or simply write on 'em!

School Uniforms - It's a Cinch

Cinch a belt over your blouse or sweater. Leave the studded, oversized belts for the weekends and opt for a simpler one. If a necktie is part of your school uniform, then whip it off as soon as the bell rings and tie it around your waist for a snazzy alternative to the classic belt.

School Uniforms - Knock Your Socks Off

Ditch those boring white socks! Instead, glam up your legs with socks in bright, eye-catching colors and pretty, patterned tights. Try plaid tights or leggings for a funky, punky look.

School Uniforms - Bottom Line

Each school has a different school uniform policy. Some are relaxed about stuff like untucked shirts, while others have rules set in stone and won't let you get away with anything. So before you brighten up a blah uniform, make sure your school allows it first. And if they have strict rules about the dress code, just wait until you're outta class to jazz it up.
