Another super interesting piece, Allie! I know a lot of people like to don Mickey Mouse ears or Disney clothes (especially at Disney World) to feel like a kid again. But I never thought school uniforms were a way to relive a part of your youth. I had to wear uniform since I was in the 3rd grade up until the end of high school, so I'm not sure if I would ever do it again. But if it's a way for others to reclaim a part of themselves, then i support it!
I started wearing uniforms during middle school but don’t miss them too much either. Always felt they function more as a tribal identifier than an identifier of self. The two can’t be completely divorced from one another so I suppose approaching one’s past as a limitless palimpsest can be cathartic in many ways. Thanks for the comment Sam!
Totally agree. Once I got out of high school, I was so eager to differentiate myself from style. There are some things I just can't wear anymore, such as pleated skirts!
