  • Question
    I'm a girl, but I have chosen to wear trousers to my school. I am the only girl who wears them in my year. What is the best way to style them?
    Community Answer
    You could either wear quite skinny and straight ones, or go deliberately for a wide leg trouser look. Definitely go for a shorter one that appears slightly cropped, as this shows your ankle nicely. For skinnier trousers, don't make them too tight, and you can roll up the trouser legs. Also, pair them with some fashionable ankle or quarter socks.

    Wake up earlier to style your hair. Also, seek out extensions that are your natural hair color (clip-ins) and try cool styles that may be seen on Ariana Grande or other celebs. Also, hair clips, scrunchies, headbands and bobby pins come in cool colors and designs, so try those as long as you can do so while staying within your school's guidelines.

    Community Answer
    You still have your natural beauty! You can put on a face wash mask on the day before school or just wash your face in the morning.

    Have they said anything about the style/type? For shoes, try Nike, Adidas or Asics sneakers, etc. As for coats, hats or scarves, try to purchase some loose, ruffled ones and some smarter looking ones. Have some spares in case you missed something in your uniform policy and have to change.

    How do I look good in a school uniform if I can't wear nail polish, makeup, jewelry, and I can't color my hair?
    Community Answer
    Try making the skirt (if you wear one) a bit shorter or longer depending on how you like it. Try putting your hair up differently such as a high ponytail with your fringe out (if it’s long). Keep your nails clean and not too short, and just try to rock a style. If you can choose, wear something a bit differently depending on you. If your a super positive person, just rock your look. You’ll always look good if you think you do.
