There is a similar unwritten dress code for weddings. A woman never outdresses the bride. Never.

It's the same thing with schools. Schools generally have dress codes that limit what students can wear. Those rules try to establish an environment where learning is the focus instead of a fashion contest. Some schools go so far as to have uniforms.
