Oxford University New Dress Code Skirt Stocking for Male Students and Ties for Female Students

In 1000-year history, Oxford University has first time changed its rules.


Under the old regulations, male students were required to wear a dark suit with dark socks, black shoes, a white bow tie, and a plain white shirt and collar beneath their black gowns when attending formal occasions such as examinations.

Female students have to wear a dark skirt or trousers, a white blouse, a black ribbon tied in a bow at the neck, black stockings, and shoes.
The dress code is strictly enforced by the university's authorities, which have the power to punish students deemed in breach of the rules.

Punishments range from fines to rustication – the suspension of a student for a period of time or expulsion, known as 'sending down'.

Now respecting Transgender or Cross-dresser students, Oxford University has changed its rules.

From next month, men will be allowed to wear skirts or stockings to exams while women can choose suits or white bow ties.

The reforms were introduced following a campaign by the student union

A spokesman for Oxford told to media that  'The regulations have been amended to remove any reference to gender, in response to concerns raised by Oxford University Student Union that regulations did not serve the interests of transgender students.'  
 
The changes, to start from 4 August, have now been agreed by the university
