Essay about a dress code in a college The lack of clothing guidelines in our college is becoming an increasingly urgent problem. I suppose that the recent lowering in the rank of colleges of the region has been due to this fact. For this reason, in this essay I will discuss two advantages of implementing a dress code in our college. To begin with, dress code will contribute significantly to the overall image of our college. When potential employers, students and applicants visit it, they remain quite unimpressed by the atmosphere. Students don scruffy jeans, grungy T-shirts, vulgar miniskirts, high heels and even flip flops over summertime. Physical appearance of students speaks volumes about college. Furthermore, there is an evident correlation between physical appearance and the attitude people have towards certain situations and events. Casual clothes lead to casual attitude of students to their studies and life in general. They lack discipline, responsibility and seriousness. Alternatively, when wearing formal clothes, students will display commitment, discipline and ambition but what´s more, they feel as motivated and responsible as they look. To sum up, the lack of dress code compromises college reputation and causes problems with discipline amongst students, that’s why the implementation of a dress code is a necessary measure that should be taken. Understanding that it may be rather unpopular with the student body, I would suggest not to impose very severe restrictions. Undoubtedly, certain limitations must be introduced, but there should also remain a room for students to express themselves and feel comfortable and confident in what they wear.
