So it sucks to wear the same outfit（套装） to school every day, but it sure beats being late for class every morning because you can't decide what to wear! Then again, school uniforms can be pretty blah, right? So find out how to make a school uniform go from conservative to stand-out stylish! Rolled and Relaxed You may think there's nothing cool about a blouse（女式衬衣）or button-down shirt, but there are ways to make them hip. Wear a tank top（背心）, T-shirt or long-sleeve tee（长袖T恤）in a contrasting color underneath your collared shirt. To avoid the stuffy look, roll up the sleeves and unbutton a couple of buttons for a relaxed and casual style. Make It Short Uniform skirts tend to be knee-length or longer, but if your school is a little relaxed about skirt lengths, then try folding down the waistband（腰带） of your skirt a couple of times. Just don't go overboard and roll up your skirt into a super mini! Show Off Brighten your blah school uniform with accessories! Pile on wooden bracelets（手镯）, gold bangles（手镯、脚镯）, or silver cuffs（护腕）—but don't stop there. Necklaces, earrings, rings, watches and even hair accessories are an awesome way to stand out in a sea of uniforms. Backpacks are another great way to express your personal style. So stick on a funny sticker, attach funky pins and clips, or simply write on them! It's a Cinch Cinch a belt over your blouse. Leave the studded, oversized belts for the weekends, and choose a simpler one. If a necktie is part of your school uniform, then unlace it as soon as the bell rings and tie it around your waist for a snazzy alternative. Knock Your White Socks Off Throw away those boring white socks! Instead, glam up your legs with socks in bright, eye-catching colors and pretty, patterned tights（裤袜）. The Bottom Line When it comes to school uniform policies, every school is different. 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 your uniform, make sure your school allows it first. And if they have strict rules about the dress code, just wait until class is over to jazz it up.
