I do not allow my son to go to school in sweats or athletic shorts except for when he has midterms or finals.

There actually was a Sidwell student who showed up to a sporting event wearing a toga. That was…interesting.

He has multiple pairs of Nike sweatpants, so they’re clean at least, but certainly not particularly nice. He wears them with sneakers, or crocs on days he can’t remember where he left his sneakers. Socks are usually the same color, but not always the same height. It’s a look I guess? Oh, and his hair, no matter how freshly showered he is, somehow always looks dirty. Oh well.


+1 for my son. Hoodie and sweatpants or athletic shorts and a t-shirt. Socks are usually both white but not always. I know he owns a hairbrush but I don't think he knows where it is. I assume there are Sidwell kids who are better dressed and put together than he is but everyone's clothing seems to be o the casual side.

I think the no jeans is a generational thing - not a Sidwell thing.


Packing for a trip recently, I asked DS if he wanted jeans...
He replies, "Are we going somewhere fancy?"


LOL!

Mine won't even buy jeans - they say they are uncomfortable.


DD and her friends call jeans "hard pants" as opposed to soft, comfy ones.


I mean, she’s not wrong!

What a bizarre question. From the DMV does not equal better? They selected the most qualified and/or hooked applicants from the avail pool.

I have a kid at a different Friends school and the weekly meeting isn’t like catholic mass where you’re expected to dress up. I know my kid and their friends just wear whatever they normally wear to school.

For chapel services?


Meeting for worship is come as you are. It's a meeting.

It sounds like you are trying to make this sound like church - it's not like church. You sit in a room quietly and reflect and people stand up and say things if they'd like to. There is no "service" or ritual like a Catholic Mass.
