This is mainly so students don't wear offensive or revealing clothes. It is also so every student appears equally wealthy. It all depends on the school's policy.
Most public schools in the US do not require uniforms. Reasons for wearing uniforms include the fact that a student's clothing will not indicate his or her socioeconomic group, so there will be less racist behavior, and it gives a sense of identity to the students, that they are part of a group in a positive way. Also, parents do not have to spend as much money on clothing, because student's will wear their regular clothing only after school and weekends, so the clothing won't wear out as quickly, and they won't need as many clothes. It also can have a positive effect on behavior and discipline because students will not be wearing clothing that could be considered as inappropriate or disruptive.

Why do British kids wear uniforms?
Actually, not all students in Britain wear uniforms. It's just like here in the USA, some schools have uniforms, but most don't. You would think British schoolchildren wear uniforms because of what you see in movies or tv shows. But really, British schools have about the same unifrom ratio as to American schools. Actually this is not true, speaking as a 17 year old English school-girl, I can assure you that it is not the same as American schools. In the United Kingdom 92% of state and private/boarding schools have strict uniform policy wheras 18% of US schools do. Usually the ones in the UK that don't are special-needs schools.

What percent of schools in the US have dress codes?
It is difficult to answer this question, because the numbers are constantly changing. Uniforms used to be expected only in parochial schools, but today, even some public schools are experimenting with uniforms, since there is a belief that wearing school uniforms creates a sense of school spirit, inspires self-discipline, and fosters positive behavior. This is debatable, since some studies show it has a positive effect, while others show it has little if any effect. That said, there are more than 7,000 Catholic parochial schools in the United States, all of which expect their students to wear uniforms. And a number of private schools expect a student to wear a uniform as well, especially some of the older private schools, for which wearing a uniform is a long-held tradition. One survey from 2008 estimated about 18-20% of American students attend a school where they have to wear a uniform. But other surveys have offered figures as high as 25%.
