Hello there, I never had to wear a school uniform or had a "strict" dress code, but I know people who did. Honestly, my advice is to just go along with it, even if you disagree. In most cases it's not worth the hassle or consequences for not following it. If you feel like you're being singled out, you can speak with the tutor privately, but usually, the argument that you aren't the only one supposedly breaking the rules won't work as a good defense. The best thing you can do is follow the dress code so the person will back off and don't worry about whether other people do the same or not.
