Certain dress code restrictions in colleges throughout North America were accused of perpetuating sexist standards. In March 2014, a group of middle-school women from Evanston, Illinois, protested their college's dress code, which prohibited them from sporting leggings to highschool underneath the pretense that it was "too distracting for boys." 13-years-antique scholar Sophie Hasty changed into quoted inside the Evanston Review pronouncing that "no longer being capable of wear leggings because it's 'too distracting for boys' is giving us the affect we should be guilty for what men do." In a Time magazine article overlaying the incident, Eliana Dockterman argued that teachers and administration in those colleges are "strolling the best line between imposing a dress code and slut shaming."

On Monday, September 22, 2014, "approximately a hundred pupils walked out of Bingham excessive faculty in South Jordan, Utah" after extra than a dozen ladies have been turned away from a homecoming dance for carrying dresses which violated the get dressed code. "School staff allegedly lined up ladies against a wall as they arrived and banished about  dozen for having attire which purportedly showed too much skin and violated the policies." It is thought that this act turned into awkward and humiliating closer to the lady students, which spawned the walkouts.

In August 2021, one pupil's mom criticized her daughter's school for continuing to put in force garb regulations on women at the same time as permitting college students to decide out of mask-wearing at some point of the COVID-19 pandemic.
