How to Keep an Emo Look Even With School Uniforms

School uniforms suppress individuality to a certain extent, but many schools allow students some personal choices regarding what they wear. So you may be able to keep an emo look even if you have to wear a uniform to school.

Instructions

1. Read your school's dress code to find out what amount of freedom you have when you plan your Emo look. Some schools have rules that are strict, and other schools will allow you some outlets for individuality.

2. Know the Emo music and current styles. This will make it easier for you to incorporate an Emo look into a school uniform. Cut, color and style your hair in Emo fashion. You may have to forego bright color hair dye at some schools. Dark hair with bold highlights may be the best option available.

3. Accessorize within reason. This is where knowing your school's dress code comes in handy. Consider wearing fingernail polish, Emo jewelry, cloth sport shoes and black, heavy rimmed glasses.

4. Wear Emo inspired makeup. This will vary depending on the style of Emo you are into. Eyeliner is a must for any Emo.

5. Have the Emo attitude. Emos are usually intelligent, kind and sympathetic.

6. Remember that Emo is about love of the Emo style of music. Show your love for the Emo bands and your inner Emo is sure to shine through.

Tips & Warnings

• Cutting yourself is never cool. Some Emos practice cutting. If you are a cutter, get professional help immediately.
