Baldwin Dress Code

Please read these guidelines carefully.  All students are required to adhere to the dress code.

Dress Code

The Baldwin Uniform Guidelines coincide with MPS dress code in a more detailed and school specific form:  The Baldwin Dress Code follows:

Uniform Tops:

Girls:  Dark Purple or white golf shirts—short or long sleeved –may have a banded waist, white button-down shirts, white shirts with short sleeves, 3/4 length sleeves, or long sleeves. All shirts must have collars and no logos, unless it is the Baldwin logo which is not required.

Boys:  Dark Purple or white golf shirts—short or long sleeved, white button-down shirts. All shirts must have collars and no logos, unless it is the Baldwin logo, which is not required.

For both boys and girls:  white long- sleeved t-shirts and white turtlenecks may be worn under short-sleeved golf shirts.  Shirts should fit properly and not be oversized.  Shirts do not have to be tucked in if appropriate length; overly long shirts should be tucked in. 

The Baldwin logo may be embroidered on shirts; however, this is not a requirement.  Several uniform companies in Montgomery have the Baldwin logo and will embroider shirts.

Uniform Bottoms:

Girls:  Khaki or black shorts, skorts that look like skirts from the front and back, skirts, jumpers (all must adhere to the MPS policy requiring these to be no higher that knee length from the crease in the back of the knee)  Capri pants, and long pants.  All pants must be of regular cut, with no “skinny pants” or leggings made to look like pants. (Pants and shorts must be uniform-type pants.) Plaid (color “2M”) skorts that look like skirts from the front and back, skirts, and jumpers may be worn, also.

Boys:  Khaki or black shorts and long pants.  Pants must fit properly; they may not be oversized or sag. (Pants must be uniform-type pants.)

For both boys and girls: No athletic shorts. If shirts are tucked in, belts must be worn, if pants or skirts have belt loops.
