Rule of thumb: A common guideline states that skirts should not be shorter than a hand’s width above the knee.
Reason: This length looks elegant and professional and minimizes the effort required for teachers to constantly address “infractions.”
The Practical Aspect
School isn’t just about sitting at a desk. Students move around on stairs, take the bus, or sit in
a relaxed atmosphere during breaks.
A-line or pleated skirts: These are significantly more practical than tight skirts, as they offer greater freedom of movement.
Comfort: A skirt that is too
