Uniform
For Winter dress, Vancouver College students wear grey dress pants, long-sleeved white dress shirt, and the school tie. Students must always wear black Oxford-style shoes except in the summer where they may be substituted with sandals worn with socks. In cases of inclement weather, students may choose to wear one of four school sweaters: The traditional winter sweater, the traditional Varsity Letterman sweater, the tradition Edmundian sweater, or the Student Council sweater. Students may also opt to wear the school Monogrammed Bomber jacket, or the traditional Varsity Lettermans jacket.
(Optional) For Summer dress, Vancouver College students wear the VC Fighting Irish Polo Shirt, along with the Fighting Irish beige coloured shorts. Students may wear different polo shirts as a status of which club or sport they may belong. For example, a student may choose to wear the Vancouver College "Golf", "rowing", "band", "environment club", "rugby", "football" or "badminton" polo, along with others, to distinguish their involvement within the school community during summer dress code.
Along with this, students in Grade 12 are given custom sweaters, unique to their year, to identify themselves as graduating seniors. Through the school's uniform system, students are highly individualized through a variety of options that help distinguish them within the school's community.
The traditional Winter uniform is mandatory for formal ceremonies and presentations.

Famous quotes containing the word uniform:
“An accent mark, perhaps, instead of a whole western accent—a point of punctuation rather than a uniform twang. That is how it should be worn: as a quiet point of character reference, an apt phrase of sartorial allusion—macho, sotto voce.”
—Phil Patton (b. 1953)
“Truly man is a marvelously vain, diverse, and undulating object. It is hard to found any constant and uniform judgment on him.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“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)
