Students are expected to understand and observe the spirit as well as the letter of the dress requirements. All clothing must be neat and clean. Oversized or tight clothing is not appropriate. Hemlines are not to be more than 3 inches above the middle of the knee (front and back). With the exception of the style described under Upper School uniform guidelines, blouses and shirts should be tucked in at all times. For safety, rubber-soled, low-heeled shoes are required. Upper School students may wear sneakers and navy or gray Marymount sweatshirts to and from school but must change to uniform shoes and shirts/sweaters immediately upon arrival at school. Navy and gray Marymount sweatpants may be worn under the uniform
skirt to and from school. On the occasions when uniforms are not required, the School provides specific guidelines.
Students are to be well-groomed at all times. Natural-colored hair is expected, and tattoos and piercing (other than ears) are not permitted. In the Upper School, students may not wear ostentatious or excessive makeup or nail polish. Dark lipstick and nail polish (black, neon, green, blue, etc.) are not permitted. Jewelry should be limited to watches, simple rings and earrings of less than 1” in length, end to end. All jewelry except pierced-ear studs must be removed and hair must be secured away from the face for Physical Education classes. Sneakers are to be worn only for P.E. classes. Students are to change immediately before and after P.E. classes.
