Tips

• Try flashy laces if your school allows them. They make your shoes look brighter and they are pretty cool.
• Try wearing tight shirts without tucking them into your skirt, that's cool too.
• If you have stockings or tights with your shape and the skirt slips over them, clip your stockings over the top. This will prevent the skirt from slipping as well as the stockings from slipping.
• If you can wear any shoe, try a pair of Converse, Vans or Nike high-top sneakers to add fun, positive elements to the boring fit.
• If you don't want to wear a tight-fitting jumper and want to create a stylish look, choose a jumper that is oversized and roll up the sleeves.
• If you love vintage fashion, buy a uniform from a thrift store. Most school uniform stores will sell them year round, and they are often MUCH cheaper than new ones and often even look better. But make sure they are clean and in good condition before buying.
• Change your hairstyle, weave some different colored ribbons into your hair, or weave a ponytail to the side towards the left / right ear, it looks cute.
• When trying on a skirt, ask for help so you know it is straight. Also, use pins or a marker to make sure you follow the lines as you trim. Another way to make your skirt stylish is to add a cute belt.
• Adding jewelry, especially a necklace, can work wonders for simple clothing. Put it on, but don't overdo it. Less is more.
• If you must wear a poorly fitted jumper, try buying a new one from another store.
• Find out if your school has super strict rules that apply to uniforms.

Warnings

• When you cut your clothes, try to stay in your comfort zone! Find out how short it is too short for you, or how long it is too long for you.
• Remember, less jewelry means more. This also applies to makeup. Don't go overboard with your eyeliner and don't use too much blush. It will look like you are overdoing it.
• Your parents are not stupid. If they see you cutting the shape without their permission, they will never leave you alone again because they feel they cannot trust you anymore. If you are going to do this, tell them. It’s very simple. If they say no, then DON'T DO IT. If they say yes, go ahead and do it under their guidance and let them see the final product.
• Make sure the blouse is not transparent! This is especially true for whites. It looks really bad if you bend over and see a hot pink bra through the back of your shirt! Wear a nude tank top or bra. Anything is better than a flashing bra!
• While there are so many things you can do with your shape to make it sexier, don't try to do too much in one go. This can be as bad as wearing a regular uniform, and probably worse, because everyone will notice and talk terrible about you.
• Before starting anything (cutting, pasting, decorating), talk to the principal or teacher about the dress code and what you can do about it. A good image is not worth the trouble.
• If you want to change an old shape - for example, open a blouse or fringe at the bottom of a skirt - never do it yourself. It might not work, and it might end up looking bad. Then your parents may flare up, and you will end up in tears.
• Some schools have rules on how long your skirt should be.
• Always check school uniform rules to make sure you haven't broken them.
• When you lift the waistband of your skirt, take care not to make it too high, otherwise you will know how it is when your skirt is pulled up, when you bend over and everyone sees your panties.

• Make-up remover (in case you smudge or ruin your makeup at school, or a really strict teacher tells you to take it off)
