Parents spend money on regular clothes, food, and all these other things and then have to spend even more of their money to buy clothes just for their kids to only wear 7 hours a day, 5 days a week. Some kids wear abnormal sizes, which that makes it harder to find clothes that fit and are comfortable. Furthermore, some kids are allergic to certain materials, or just prefer certain brands. Also there are certain clothes you have to wear for different occasions: you have clothes for PE, just regular school, and formal uniforms(Michelle Kouzmine). On average, Americans spend around $1 billion per year on uniforms per year.
