Generally agree with having a uniform but also don’t get why my kids have to wear shirts, ties and branded trousers and blazers (all expensive)when a branded polo shirt and plain trousers would do the same job

I’m a bit old fashioned on this and I know even my wife who is a few years younger than me doesn’t agree. Personally I think it should be part of your education to dress formally regularly. I still wear a tie for work when seeing a customer and I think it’s just part of life’s preparation.
Preparation for what though? 99% of the working population today doesn't wear a shirt and tie to work. I prefer the sweatshirt and polo my kids wear because it's less stifling, more comfortable but still provides a uniform. Can tell the original poster was never bullied for being the poor kid.
No problem with Primary School but once you go to secondary school you’re being prepared for potentially a career in a profession where it’s important to give out a level of formality in business. That’s a much higher % than you suggest.
If your career path means you go for a trade or a more practical job then I don’t think it’s an issue once you go to college. But at least you still have the experience if your career ever takes you in a different direction.
Maybe, almost everyone I know, including myself, who work in office environments have moved to informal dress codes over the last 5 years. It's not a big issue either way for me tbh and not a hill I'm going to die on 👍🤣
😂 nor me and I fully recognise I’m probably considered old fashioned. I used to be suit and tie every single day but I just wear shirt and trousers now and just go for tie and jacket when seeing customers. Lots don’t even do that anymore which feels odd to me.
There’s certain professions I feel more assured by when dressed in shirt and tie. Do I want a medical consultation from someone dressed like he’s going to sell me kitchen tiles? No. 😅
Although tbh as long as they are wearing a white coat and have their credentials on the wall, I personally couldn't care less if they were wearing a tie or not but each to their own.
