How to Look Like an Individual While Wearing a School Uniform

Many students think school uniforms are a drag, but there is a benefit to wearing them. The student does not have to waste time trying to figure out what to wear and there is no pressure to have designer jeans or the latest styles. It just takes a little bit of effort to look like an individual while wearing a school uniform. Follow these tips.

Instructions

1. Get a great bag. Find a cool style like a messenger bag or tote bag. Get a brightly colored backpack or one with a wild pattern. Let your personality shine through in your book bag.

2. Add a brightly colored scarf to your uniform. Wear it around your neck wrapped Parisian style or worn like a men's tie. Wear one in your hair like a head band reminiscent of the sixties.

3. Wear bold jewelry. Make a statement with a single cocktail ring, a cuff bracelet or a thick brightly colored bangle bracelet. Don't overdo it; wear just one or two pieces to reflect your mood or style that day.

4. Reflect your personal style through a trendy or edgy haircut. Choose a style that is age-appropriate from a magazine or hairstyle guide and speak to a professional hairstylist about whether it will look good on you. Older kids and teenagers may even experiment with hair color.

5. Layer the uniform pieces in interesting ways. This is especially helpful to boys who don't have as much room for individuality in hairstyle or accessories. Wear a blazer over a sweater vest or wear a button-up shirt underneath a polo.
