No, but because it looks tacky and sloppy: frayed denim skirt, "loud" tweed jacket over a sweat-shirt or a pullover, nothing seeming to fit properly.
If the school, or the school year allegedly represented here, does not insist on a uniform it should expect smart clothes.
One point often overlooked or ignored is that education is more than just learning academic subjects. It is also a sort of training for life, and many school-leavers are likely to find themselves in careers or at least employment where a good standard of personal appearance is expected, perhaps ordered, and may even have a uniform.
