If it's any consolation, over here school uniform is mandatory for private AND public schools. Most of the time it looks something like this:
At the school I went to, which was a public school, I wasn't allowed to wear pants because I was a girl and so I had to wear a skirt/dress every day with knee high socks. I thought it was so old fashioned that guys got to wear pants or school shorts but girls had to wear dresses/skirts. In winter my legs were freezing. Not fair. School shoes, knee high white socks, skirt, shirt, tie, and itchy woolen jumper were all mandatory. I think towards the end of my time there they started making school uniform pants for girls... finally.
