(This applies to most other major policy changes, too. Schools are run by bureaucracies, and bureaucracy tends to move ponderously). Examples of Sudden School Uniform include:

Maybe the Reasonable Authority Figure has been replaced by someone less reasonable, maybe the principal just snapped, maybe it's coming down from above, but the fictional school now has uniforms. With a day's notice, a week's notice at most. The resolution of the episode will lead to them being abolished since Status Quo Is God, usually reverting to No Dress Code at all. Often found within a Tyrant Takes the Helm plotline. Primarily seen in American series, since it needs on the one hand a serial medium, such as television, and on the other a cultural backdrop in which school uniforms exist as an option but are the exception rather than the norm.
