A New Take on Dress Code Fashion

By: Lizz Marshall

UGH, dress code? Ask any student at Forrest Bird Charter School dress code can be a real drag. But, with the right accessories, you can make anything look cute.

Ladies: Accessories like headbands, scarves, and boots can help you individualize dress code without breaking it. Headbands are great for a messy hair day, and especially if you have bangs you just can’t figure out.  Sequined headbands are especially cute and add class to your outfit. Scarves can help make you look more sophisticated. Bright colored scarves are darling, but practically scream, “Hey look at me!” which can be good when trying to gain someone’s attention.

Shoes can be the difference in your personal style. Whether you wear cute floral flats or colorful vans, you are able to transform the same outfit into different styles, and this is the beauty of dress code. Boots can keep your feet warm on a cold winter day or even a muddy spring day. Boots can also help give a hint of class to a simple outfit.

Who said you can’t be comfortable in dress code? The new FBCS T-shirts and sweatshirts are totally fashionable and full of comfort. The t-shirts are made in black, grey, red, and tie-die. Orange and yellow t-shirts are given to students caught out of dress code. 

Boys: Whether you like to admit it or not, us girls know somewhere deep down you do care about your personal style and how you look on a daily basis. You may not like to wear scarves, bracelets, or fancy earrings, but you can still change your style within dress code limits. Wearing a brighter colored polo or an oxford here and there won’t kill you. Shoes are also another great way to individualize your look.

The true beauty of dress code is really the simplicity. Being able to change your whole outfit with one accessory in the matter of seconds is one of the cool things about dress code.
