Dress codes raise additional issues, both in terms of their adoption (which needs to allow parents their due process rights) and the nature of the code itself. For example, a code would need to further an important or substantial government interest that is unrelated to suppression of free speech, such as increased safety or improved academic performance. The restriction must go no further than essential to advance that interest.

One factor that courts have considered is the countervailing effort the schools have given to ensuring “speech” in other forms—allowing students to select their own footwear or jewelry, allowing students a “free speech” alley for voicing their issues, allowing non-uniform days periodically to allow for speech or even identifying one school in the district as a “non-uniform school” for persons who wish to opt out.
