An Alabama school district put a damper on students’ fashion flow by banning several fits before the first day of school.

Bessemer City High School officials issued a memo detailing a strict dress code for students that bans wearing things like hoodies, tights, jeans with rips and holes, and Crocs, Fox 6 News reports.

Also included are bonnets and pajama pants, which have become popular night clothes to wear at school during the daytime.

“Bessemer City Schools will strictly enforce the dress code and will not allow students to attend class if students are wearing inappropriate or questionable attire,’ the school wrote in a letter home to students and parents. 

“The faculty and administration shall encourage students to be aware that dress and personal appearance may, in a very real manner, influence the perception and attitude others may have of the student as an individual,” a statement by the board explained. 

“Therefore, each student should consider reasonable judgment, tact, and decency in the selection of clothes for school and for personal appearance.”

“This policy is a dress code to help foster a sense of community and reduce distractions, allowing students to focus on their studies,” the school wrote on Facebook.
