The New Trier Uniform

After discussing in class that clothes are really a statement of who you are/what kind of money you have/etc, it really got me thinking. One of our teachers told us a story about a girl that said:"It's great that new trier doesn't have a uniform." But they replied: "Are you sure?" Maybe we do have a uniform. All that I know for now is that there are three types of clothing choices/ attitudes towards clothing at New Trier. The first group of people are the followers, ie the people who just wear whatever their friends wear, buy into trends, designers, etc. The second are the people who just wear the clothes they wear for the sake of individuality. In this case, individuality in style can't really be reached, especially in a world this big. I mean, unless you make your own clothes and have no inspiration driven from anything else but yourself, this is unattainable. The last group are the people who just don't care and wear what they like. So from these types, I have created an "ensemble" (or several, if you will) of the basic new trier uniform components:
Women: (none of these go together in one outfit. Just a bunch of random articles)
-V-neck t-shirt
-Tight Jeans
-American Apparel Sweatshirt (optional)
-Leggings
-Uggs or Flats

Men:
-Sports, New Trier, or Polo shirt
-Jeans/ khakis
-New Balance/Nike shoes
-(and if you're a hipster, then american apparel sweatshirt, v-neck, tight jeans, vans)

Please don't get me wrong. I hate stereotyping, but this is just fun.
Any other opinions on the new trier uniform?
