IN CROWDER
It doesn't take much to stand out in a sea of ubiquitous school uniforms, and not always in a good way.
IN picks out three deadly uniform faux pas. Try them if you dare to risk being the butt of jokes.

Girls, it's what's underneath that counts - and that includes your bra colour.
It can be distracting and not always pleasant to see a hint of pink or purple underneath a semi-translucent white blouse. Keep it neutral unless you're channelling Madonna in her trailer trash days.
Nor is anyone interested in the colour of a guy's underpants.
And that "snowboard dude trousers on the ground" look? Save it for the slopes.
Guys, wear a belt if those school trousers are threatening to slide down your waist because we don't need a peekaboo at your tighty-whities.

At weekends you might prefer the spray-on clothes look, but buttons that are straining to stay fastened on uniforms are not a good look.
There's always someone with a skirt that's shorter or a blouse that's tighter than average. Some boys like their trousers tight and nipped in at the calves too.
A well-fitting uniform is a sign that you are taking pride in something you have to wear for five days a week. But wear it too tight and we wonder if it might have cut off the blood circulation to your brain.

3. Over-accessorising
Some people like to express their inner divas, and done right it's a sign of individuality in a sea of sameness.
But not everyone can carry off the missing or mismatched buttons, or the neon-coloured shoelaces on white Bata shoes, not to mention the ties in contrasting colours. Are you being yourself or channelling Avril Lavigne?
Yes, the homogenous school uniform can be a minefield, down to the socks. Wearing them low to look as if you're not wearing any is just gross. (Imagine the bacteria between sweaty toes.)
But wearing them too high spells N-E-R-D. The solution? Wear socks just high enough above the ankle so that the school logo, if any, is visible. And slightly bigger shoes will make it seem as if your socks are low enough.

Obviously this 154th leeporter had never gone to Bangkok at all.

Every school girl I seen, I was wondering how on Earth the buttons can hold giving the tremendous amount of stress on them to hold the uniform together with the buldge inside forcing it at all times !

Not to mention the super tight skirts yet.

Just looking at them will raise your blood pressure by a few notch.

These local school girls' uniform won't even make me take 2nd look.

You call this tight and revealing? Even the conservative British that ruled your ancestors wouldn't agree.

Please be brave and rise from your worthless, irrelevant and antiquated Qing value system.
