How to Dress Up the Dress Code




Polos, college tees, khakis, skirts; when will it end?! At NPA, dress-code is a thing we all experience throughout the day. Most people would prefer to “free-dress” on a daily basis rather than wearing the school’s idea of clothing. Individuality is slightly restricted due to the dress-code, but really the rules on what to wear aren’t that strict! There are so many ways to make an outfit cute by using simple tricks that we all have up our sleeves.
Accessories are an amazing way to add a little bang to your daily outfit at NPA. Colorful, plain, or patterned scarves are a great way to add color and accent an outfit. Jewelry of any sort can complement your outfit especially if it’s in the same color palette. Layering is also a nice way to add life to your clothes. Sweaters, cardigans, pull-overs, jackets, and blazers can all add structure and spice to an outfit. With skirts in the dress-code, adding tights always enhances the “wow-factor” of the skirt itself. You can also layer a skirt under a skirt to make to skirt have more bounce and flow. Another way to dress up the dress code is to wear an oversized sweater with black tights. As long as the sweater is plain and is long enough, the overall result is very appealing. 
Look for loop-holes in the dress-code, but always make sure you follow it, and you will find that the dress-code itself isn’t that bad. We can all express ourselves and our personal style by just adding simple features to a classic polo. Overall, no matter the occasion, these simple tricks will always work on complementing your individual outfits.
