Student Uniforms

Each division (Lower, Middle, and Upper Schools) at Lovett has their own daily uniform, with a special uniform for chapel days. Uniforms are available for sale in the Lovett Campus Store and through the Lovett Parent Association's Recycled Uniform Sales.

The Lovett School dress code helps encourage everyone to focus attention on what is inside a student rather than on superficial, outward appearances. Students have always expressed their approval of this long-standing tradition, finding it beneficial to the overall school experience.

Students should take care that the clothing or accessories they wear to school or school events not include emblems or images that may cause offense, bring about discord, or signal disrespect among members of the Lovett community. While such emblems may appear elsewhere in popular culture, they do not belong at Lovett. School administrators make the final decision regarding the acceptability of attire not specifically covered in this dress code.

General Uniform and Appearance Guidelines

1. Students are required to arrive on campus properly and neatly attired.
2. Required regulation Lovett uniform items must be purchased from the Campus Store.
3. Oversized or undersized clothes are not “in uniform.” Shorts and skirts may be worn no higher than four inches from skirt to floor when student is kneeling. Skirts may not be rolled up. Skorts may be no shorter than fingertip length. Pants may not be worn around hips. Appropriate sizing is not the responsibility of the Campus Store.
4. A student’s name must be clearly marked on all clothing, including shoes.
5. Manufacturers’ logos, including ducks, ponies, alligators, etc., on shirts and sweaters are not acceptable.
6. Boys’ hair must be clean and neatly and conservatively trimmed so that it does not hang in the back below the top of the dress shirt collar, on the side below the middle of the ear, and in the front below the eyebrows. Boys must be clean-shaven. Designs may not be shaved or dyed into the hair.
7. Under no circumstances is it appropriate for students to write on, cut up, or deface their uniforms in any way. This includes frayed or stapled hems and slit or frayed pant legs.
8. NO hats or caps are to be worn in any building on the Lovett campus during the school day.
   

Physical Education Uniforms

Regulation physical education uniforms, which must be purchased in the Campus Store, are to be worn in all physical education classes in Grades 3–9.

Jewelry and Accessories
Boys may not wear earrings. Tongue studs are not acceptable.

Coats and Jackets
Only navy blue coats may be worn during the school day (no denim jackets). Other coats may be worn to and from school; however, since many students find coats to be a necessary comfort during classes and other activities, students should purchase a required navy blue jacket. Only regulation navy fleeces, navy fleece vests, navy sweatshirts, and navy sweaters may be worn during the school day. All regulation outerwear is available in the Campus Store. Optional for all schools: navy blazer (not sold in the Campus Store).

Lower School General Uniform and Appearance Guidelines

2. Shirts and blouses must be tucked in at all times unless otherwise noted
3. All undershirts should be plain white and may be visible only at the neck.
