Regardless of anyone's feelings on this topic, dress codes are perfectly legal and have been upheld by the courts again and again. Dress codes are allowed to help keep safety and order.
However, it is not exactly legal to single students out by groups, and have race-specific and gender-specific dress codes. That is currently being done, and it will take lawsuits to stop such practices. Transgender students and students born with transsexualism have sued and won for the most part to be allowed to attend school as the gender they believe they are. Even non-transgendered students occasionally fight for the right to wear a different hair length than is traditional for their gender or to wear pants instead of skirts.
Hair is a tricky matter. Some schools ban hairdos worn predominantly by certain races. That can send an underlying message that those who wear such hairstyles are inferior or have an inferior culture. More than likely, the courts would side against that if it ever went to court, but low-income parents are unable to take it to court, and civil liberty groups tend to have other priorities. Even worse are when certain races are not allowed to wear certain hairstyles, but others get to do so as a special right. A White girl in California was suspended from school for wearing her hair in cornrows like the Black students. That could actually run afoul of discrimination laws since it is racially-motivated. However, such policies are not currently being challenged in court.

If instituted by the government as a rule for the general public yes. Obsenity laws say you have to wear cloths but not what style, cut and so forth. Now; private and public institutions have the right to regulate what employees and guest wear. This means that school uniforms are legal.
