Haute Couture in French Schools?

Students are getting up-tight about school clothing rules - wanting to wear more sexy clothing.

The protests began at Lycée Geoffroy-Saint-Hilaire in Essonne, south of Paris, where teenagers rebelled against the strict dresscode by wearing skimpy clothes for two days. The move was prompted by a new headteacher who banned holes in trousers and garmets above the knee, the Independent reports.

At Lycée Condorcet d'Arcachon in Gironde, 200 students marched throught the town to protest against a new dress code, which stated that students could not wear low-slung trousers, short skirts or piercings. "We're at school, we don't want to feel like we are in a prison," one student said.

So they will be wearing this in the summer? Less is more?
