But under a new policy, the school now wants her to choose from a modest list of low-key attire sold out of a company located in a hardware building in industrial Mapunapuna.
Though not an official uniform, Punahou's policy goes further than the likes of nearby rival Iolani, whose dress code outlaws T-shirts and requires a special pass for rubber slippers but lets students provide their own clothing and allows the display of nonschool logos.
