I find this such an outdated way of thinking in regards to uniform. My school (it's between a rough area and a more well off area, so has students from both) had a non uniform day at the end of every term and very rarely was there any predujice over kids with less quality clothing.
Besides, I found there was more ridiculing on the uniform days - if someone school shoes were tatty or old, if someone had a muddy blazer, if their tie or short had holes in, if their trousers were too short etc.
And in the same sense, people would be ridiculed if they're were following the uniform policy too well (tucking in their shirt, tie at correct length, wearing smart trousers instead of jeans etc).
Imo there's absolutely no difference when it comes to kids ridiculing each other over uniform or non uniform - it's all the same. It will happen in some instances regardless.
