Common Elements in Islamic School Uniforms:

• Abaya or jilbab: In some schools, an abaya (a long, loose-fitting robe) or a jilbab (a long dress) is mandatory.
• Tunics and long pants: Boys usually wear long tunics and pants that cover their ankles.
• Subdued colors: Uniforms are often in dark or pastel colors such as black, navy blue, dark green, or beige.
• Prohibition of jewelry and makeup: Many schools prohibit the wearing of ostentatious jewelry and makeup.

Additional Considerations:

• Climate: In warm climates, adaptations to uniforms may be permitted to ensure student comfort.
• Physical activities: Specific dress codes, such as modest sportswear, may be established for physical activities.

Special occasions: Additional dress codes may be implemented for special occasions, such as religious holidays.
