Uniform
Nanyang Girls' High's prescribed uniform is a white sleeveless cotton blouse with small slits at the side edges of the uniform, a knee-length accordion-pleated cotton skirt, shorts underneath, a PE polo tee (cotton or dry-fit), and NYGH ankle socks with plain white shoes. Name tags with different colours for each level must also be worn with the uniform. The colours are rotated each year so that a student, theoretically, can use the same colour of name tag for the four years while she is in Nanyang.
For student leaders like Peer Support Leaders, Student Councilors, Board of Elected CCA Leaders and Board of Monitors, a gold name tag must be worn with the uniform. Student councilors are prescribed a white cotton blouse with long sleeves (which are to be folded up) instead but it is optional for them to wear it.
There is also another set of uniform to be worn only on formal occasions such as competitions. These consist of a slightly-above-knee length white straight skirt, a long sleeve white collared blouse with the red block Chinese characters of the word "Nanyang" sewn on the top right side. Over it is a long sleeve yellow suit and a blue 'tie' over the collar of the white blouse.

Famous quotes containing the word uniform:
“I’ve always been impressed by the different paths babies take in their physical development on the way to walking. It’s rare to see a behavior that starts out with such wide natural variation, yet becomes so uniform after only a few months.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“Iconic clothing has been secularized.... A guardsman in a dress uniform is ostensibly an icon of aggression; his coat is red as the blood he hopes to shed. Seen on a coat-hanger, with no man inside it, the uniform loses all its blustering significance and, to the innocent eye seduced by decorative colour and tactile braid, it is as abstract in symbolic information as a parasol to an Eskimo. It becomes simply magnificent.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“We call ourselves a free nation, and yet we let ourselves be told what cabs we can and can’t take by a man at a hotel door, simply because he has a drum major’s uniform on.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
