MEPHS DRESS CODE

Mephs dress code

      I am writing an essay on how I feel about the dress code at mephs. I have mixed feelings about the dress code. I like it for some people but not for me. Ive been here for three years so im pretty used to it. I've accumulated a lot of clothes that follow the dress code. However I don't think the people that just started have that many clothes. I think the dress code is too pricy. It also makes people look the same, thats one of the main reasons why i don't feel strongly about the dress code 

    The mephs dress code has its pros and its cons. I however think it has a few more cons than pros. One of its cons is that people aren't able to buy uniforms all the time. a lot of people don't want to buy clothes just for school! plain colors like black, white and grey aren't things things that people already have in their closets or wear on a daily basis. Not everyone has jackets and sweaters in those colors either, this means that people have to buy clothes that they will only wear for a few hours of the day. In my opinion thats a waste of money. This dress code can pretty stressful. 

    

    

     Another reason why I feel the mephs dress code isn't a good idea, is because it makes people lack their own style and originality. Many people want to express themselves through their clothes, and I feel like they should definitely be able to. Many argue that a stranger should not be able to tell you what you can and cant wear. They should not be able to pick and choose your style for you.If you buy them you should have the right to wear them. A lot of people that I know use their clothes to express their personalities, to make them dress a certain way would be taking their personalities in a way. 

      

     One of the reasons why I feel like the mephs dress code is a good idea is because it does not allow anyone to be bullied. A lot of the reasons people are bullied is because of the clothes they wear. What people fail to realize is that everyone can't afford all the designer clothes and shoes like everyone else. Some people have struggles within their families. A lot don't really think it matters to be "fly" all the time. With that being said the dress code allows people to come to school confident! They don't have to worry about what people have to say about them if everyone looks the same. The dress code helps people to focus on their grades and not think about the wrong things. 

    Although others may think the dress code is completely bad or absolutely amazing. I still happen to have mixed feelings about it. simply because its good for some but bad for others. Its good for the ones that are insecure about their clothes. and not so good about the ones a little more fortunate. A dress code limits a lot of people.
