School uniforms are never fun, but you can ALWAYS work around them. Don't be so glum chum! You'll get used to it!

Steps

1. Wear the wide legged version of pants. If your school uniform require you to wear a certain kind of pants, try wearing the wide legged version. This will make your body look nice, no matter if you're tall or small, skinny or big.
   • Skinny jeans also are good if your tall or small, as it shows off your body. Boot-cuts also look polish but are still chic. If you're allowed to wear skirts, look for one that kind of flare out or is full at the bottom.
   • If you can, add some embroidery to your back pockets to add some personality. If they're a little too long, that's perfect! It will make you look long and lean! If you can get capri lengths, go ahead. If your smaller, long and flared are your key words.
   • Add patches to make it look unique.
2. Wear pretty sparkly jewels. They always look good and add a touch of glam to your outfit, whether you want the preppy, scene, or emo look. You can also pile on a ton of plastic bangles in outstanding color! It will give your look a funky feel!
   • Consider something in zebra prints will have a scene, rocker, indie feel to them. Anything girly will dress up your look. Silver or sparkles add glam. Sparkly jewels look funky.
   • Long necklaces are very versatile. Bangles high on your arms are unexpected.
3. Wear accessories correctly. Don't wear your belt through the belt loops. Wear it over a fitted jacket or at your waist. It's about being different, right? Or you can try a woven belt that sits low for a boho look.
   • Add a ton of skinny belts OVER your shirt. This helps if you want a funky look or scene look. You can also tie a guys tie as a belt if you want the emo or eclectic look. Kitty hair clips and funky hair clips can help you look scene, emo, or eclectic.

   • Make sure your shirt is rather tight and you have on pretty jewelry, as you may lose your shape.
   • Try a trapeze jacket if they are allowed. They're sophisticated, but flirty. If you want, find a really cute vest and wear that on top of you uniform shirt. Shrugs are your best friends, too! they always look nice and add JUST the right amount of fun and cuteness.
