uniforms!do you prefer them???

I used to wear uniforms to go to school, I loved my school uniform a lot and I always wanted to get a job later with uniforms but unfortunately my first job was not like that and even toady I have to wear formal suits but it is not a uniforms.

What I DO like about school uniforms is that it puts everyone on the same level. It's not as easy for the more affluent kids to belittle others for example, if all students must wear a standard uniform. As for uniforms in business etc, it's great for brand recognition for one. Air Host uniforms are a great example of this because you can tell instantly which airline they're from just by their uniform in most cases.

I never liked wearing uniforms... even when i was in grade school... i feel they are too monotonous for me... wearing the same color and style over and over again for a year or two... right now... at work... even if my boss bought me a set of uniform... i only wear them when i will attend an important meeting... so on ordinary day... it's t-shirt and jeans for me... or clothes that suit my mood for the day...

we never had to wear uniforms in school back in the olden days as my kids would say, lol.hairdressers use to have to waer uniforms but i always disliked them was glad when they changed that rule.

I don't mind wearing a uniform for work, it sure beats having to have a work wardrobe and another one for nonwork.

It does save on someone having to buy a bunch of clothes. My grandkids in Arizona have to wear uniforms in middle school and I think it's a good idea. That way everyone has about the same thing on and no competition!

I agree with the school uniform and think it should be made compulsory. I can appreciate that people like to encourage their children's individuality in the way they dress but children can often be cruel and teasing if a class mate is not wearing the latest fashion. If they all had to wear a uniform it would cut out children being shunned and in a worse case scenario...bullying! I once watched a documentary on the varying price of the uniforms and it was absolutley ridiculous, that's something else that should be sorted.

Hi! Riya!I also find it convenient if one is required to wear a certain uniform, it not only brings down laundry bill, but also saves us from keeping so many dresses. Wearing uniform is cool, I believe and though in our office, there is no such provision, however, I wish, there should have been one.

Hi Riya,
I simply disliked wearing uniforms to school, I found them so monotonous. You should have seen our school on Saraswati Puja day...our Principal used to say its the day for fashion parade...all us girls used to try and outdo each other in dressing up the latest fashion statement way! the sari was always cool and I bought special accessories to go with it.
However, now I do see the airhostesses and the ladies working in 5* hotels and they look so smart and cool and always well dressed. The men in uniform look so handsome too.
Regarding my son's uniform well, I have to disagree with you...he has white shirt and OMG how do they get them so dirty so fast?

That is right!! it sure does decrease the laundry.. LOL... I used to wear uniforms also when I was working and it helps to minimize washing a bunch of laundry because I wash my uniforms every night. Lol..and I don;t have a lot to wash on week ends.
