I'm great with it. The fact that it was already a thing, made feel me better wearing them with my boot after ankle surgery. I felt welcome to do so. However, there is also the other end of the spectrum. Going to class in a very dressy dress and five inch heels would scare me to death (maybe partially because I am clumsy as can be...). I only dress up for special occasions, pin days, and juries. As long as you know when to dress as what, it doesn't really matter. The main point of school is to learn something, not to put on a fashion show. So I'm not a big fighter for either side.
I may also have some outside influences. As a music major, I hang around the same people all day. A few of my friends actually sleep in the music building. Just this morning we were joking about how someone could come to class wearing pajamas and no make-up and no one would react. I know I spend, on average, 8 hours a day during the week with these people and know them really well. Dress code may be different if I were in another department working on obtaining a "professional" degree or even if we were in another environment. However, we dress for the day. Nice for juries and performances. And pajamas for the 5 hour stint in the practice room.
