I don't need to be trying to pick out clothes every day! Yawn! Who has the time .

I also find it sort of worrying that the only way "kids these days" know how to express or individualise themselves is through fashion choice. Ffs. "I am me because I have this hairstyle and I wear this jacket and that tells you what you need to know about my identity". Nooo. In fact one of the major benefits of a school uniform is that it makes kids LESS likely to "tribalise" and "stick with their own"... It promotes integration, and lets people get to actually know each other, and for their individuality to shine through their personality and not their t-shirt slogan.

I don't wear a uniform for my job but I work in an office in a small company and it's all very casual, I can just wear clothes that I would normally wear but my husband he doesn't have a uniform but he has to wear clothes that are more formal than he would normally wear so he has had to get a whole separate wardrobe of clothes for work because you can't wear the same shirt twice a week if it's not a uniform kind of a thing
