Agreed. The argument that it’s an equaliser is delusional and clearly made by people who didn’t have to wear 20 year old hand me downs for their uniform.

Which wouldn’t happen if uniforms were cheaper…
Hand me downs for other clothes still exists too.

I don’t know why you think that would be the case. Uniforms were way cheaper when I was a kid in the 90s but my parents still couldn’t buy me two sets of clothes. At least when I wore my own clothes I felt like me.

Recently saw the average parent has to pay £350 for secondary school uniforms.
That is more than I spend on food for the whole of winter for myself, and more than my entire wardrobe.
