I have always felt there is a good deal of merit in the notion that taking care in appearances often leads to a more disciplined approach in other areas of your life such as learning and being conscientious.
A good deal of that comes from my own recollection from being at schools that had uniforms that we were expected to wear correctly at all times and to whom we were taken to task for when we did not such as fastening our buttons or ties correctly.
Although I struggled and still do with both I knew enough to ask for the help I needed to ensure I was properly dressed and so was not exempted from what every other child learned, which it has to be said was only right.
This is a part of reason as a adult-child regressor I do wear a uniform beyond just mentally taking me back in time to the childhood that mentally I am unable to progress much from.
People like Rosalind Woods do make to measure traditional school uniform which would be just up my alley and a lot of frilly sissy wear.When looking at what underpins that return, there would be much merit in correcting the imbalance when it came to gendered interests as that boy back then by building in things like reading girls comics and annuals that I so wanted to do and even own which given the intensely binary playground of that era I just could not.My Gran when she was alive bought me The Sparky which was nominally non-gendered as was the beano but with more feminine interests in a non soppy way.
It as many comics did even had it's annual you got for Christmas outside of a Christmas themed edition for that week.
