Today you were at a Mud Sale and you saw Amish people with brand name sneakers and non-traditional looking clothes like sweatshirts over their clothing. Where do they get their street clothes from?
When Amish children are 16 years old they are free to dress and do what the want. That is why you see some Amish youth walking around in brand name clothes. When they are 18 they are free to get a drivers licenses and drive a car. They have a choice of leaving the Amish culture or joining the church. Must Amish youth join the church and get married. When they join the church they must give up all cars and modern technology and brand name clothes and dress like other Amish.
Do Amish schools have uniforms?
I wouldn't exactly call what the amish wear "uniforms." It is a sort of dress code, though. Each Amish community has a kind of rulebook called an Ordnung which dictates much of Amish daily life. Ordnungs are different in each community. In some communities, the Ordnung is as strict as to determine the type of thread used to stitch the clothing. When it comes to the clothing, only young children can wear more vibrant colors, like pink, depending on the community's Ordnung. When children get older the girls have to wear bonnets that their hair (in a bun) is "tucked" into. Women always wear dresses, and I believe they also wear aprons most of the time. Men wear pants and long sleeved shirts (depending on weather?) with suspenders. Men often wear hats, as most farmers wear. Married men grow beards. Women don't shave legs. The list goes on and on. If you want to learn more you can look up an Amish documentary on Netflix- more interesting than it sounds.
