OMG my daughter loves wearing my son's hand-me-downs. She even took all of his outgrown boxer briefs underwear (after I searched a bit for girl's boy-short underwear that was actually similar to boxer briefs and found none). I love that clothes are moving more towards being non-gender specific, but this post just highlights how far we have to go. My dd has a bunch of shorts, I think from Target and maybe Old Navy, that are athletic shorts that have built-in bike shorts underneath that make them a lot longer, and she wears those most of all. I would definitely be fighting the dress code though, especially no leggings as pants in elementary school.
"Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.”
I hate the idea of these dress codes, especially for such a young age.
But Hanna has shorts that would probably work. The freetime are my daughter's favorite but they have a different style now (elastic waist band, pockets, lightweight) that she also likes.

DS’ advisor announced the new dress code at orientation leader training last week (he’s part of a group that helps introduce new students to the school). The dress code is cover your butt, belly and boobies and applies to all genders.
My daughter refuses to wear black shorts from the girls section, lol. Pink, purple, brights only. Nothing wrong with that either- just because [some] girls like those colors, doesn’t make them bad or less than.
I would push back on the dress code FWIW and have at a camp.
We are here too - my 6.5 year old won't wear khakis / jeans / slacks / etc. We have found some 'boys' stuff that she likes at Target but they have to be sparkly / colourful / etc. I definitely wouldn't be able to get her to wear mesh shorts!

Except it doesn't, because when was the last time you saw a boy wearing clothing that showed his "boobies" (or belly, for that matter)?

We live at the beach so I see teen guys walking around with open button-up shirts quite often. That would be not allowed under this dress code.

A lot of men (and teenage boys) at my gym wear shirts with super low-cut armholes that show their chests.
The language is kinda dumb but I think the rule itself seems reasonable (although they should probably add a rule on clothing with offensive language/images too).
Dress codes like this for kindergarten really frustrate me. It's already hard to find longer shorts for girls, but now the school is demanding a bunch of five year old cover up? WTF.
My DD is about to start kindergarten, too. Thank goodness our school district just introduced an inclusive dress policy that pretty much says cover your privates and you're good. It's actually against the dress code to claim students are a "distraction" because of their clothes.
God, I wish this was the case everyone. Dress codes are largely sexist bullshit and to have them for kindergarteners is just... wtf no.
