What types of pants?

hey! so this may seem kind of stupid but...
i'm going to a boarding school in Connecticut next year, and the dress code (like most schools) is that we are not allowed to wear jeans to class...this is way different than the school i go to now (although being private we have a strictish dress code) and i was wondering what types of pants people wore? I have brown cords (i'm sorta preppy) that i always liked and were really popular at my school, but i'm not sure what people wear at boarding school...

and also if most schools allowed kids to wear spandex to class? like under longish shirts/dresses?
thank you so much!

I think most of girls wear cords and skirts. (At least at the schools I revisited). I'm sure brown cords would be fine.

I'm pretty sure spandex is allowed in most schools, as long as it's under a skirt or dress.

Do girls ever wear dresses to class? Is dressing a little nicer over the top, or is American Eagle, Hollister, and Aeropostale about where the casual level is?

well you can wear summer dresses to classes. J Crew has alot of nice ones.
For pants as said in the post above, J Crew, American Eagle, Ralph Lauren, Gap are all good for khakis.
Not to many people wear abercrombie and hollister.
I know at my school, teachers hate it when you wear just spandex, but wearing a dress/long shirt over would be fine

Oh, at least you get to choose the color ><

For my new school I HAVE to wear navy blue bottoms, and it is a NIGHTMARE.

You can probably wear twill. I do most of my shopping at Kohl's, and on the wall where all of their jeans are there are really comfortable twill pants.
(But of course, they don't have navy blue!!)

Completely off topic, besides the fact that i have to love the information here, I hated navy blue bottoms.

Back when I actually wore my schools uniform, it was a nightmare finding them, unless I went to an actual uniform store. with icky, could be unisex pants. blech.
