Reynoldsburg High School in Reynoldsburg, Ohio, is trying a new approach to school uniforms. School board members approved a switch to uniform dressing for the coming school year, and students were anxious to find out what they will be able to wear. To ease the monotony of daily uniforms, the school sponsored a fashion show featuring students in a select variety of clothes from local retailers that meet the criteria for the new dress code.

The options are limited to a mixture of standard trousers, polo and oxford shirts, turtlenecks and certain types of sweaters. The limited color choices correspond to the school colors and other neutrals like navy and khaki. The garments selected for the fashion show were from a variety of stores with prices that varied from low to high. School administrators hope that more fashion shows will continue to help parents and students understand the options for the dress code (Charlie Boss, "Fashion Rules," The Columbus Dispatch, March 1, 2007).
