The Athens Academy Upper School Dress Code, as written by a grandmother

The darling students at Athens Academy should always “dress to impress”. The wardrobe must be appropriate as if they are going into the real world  for a major interview. It should not reveal any bodily parts of the female and the male should always be clean shaven and groomed appropriately. All things need to be considered in order to be seen as a lady and as a gentlemen.
