How would you show cloth specific information in the user interface

School going kids wear a certain uniform on respective days within a week.

(e.g. for boys = White half pant, white shirt, tie of a certain color, belt ..) (e.g. for girls = blue checked frock, navy blue pinafore, black shoes with navy blue socks and belt). They will have different variations to wear on different da开发者_JAVA技巧ys.

What would be a good way to show such information in the user interface for boys / girls. Can you point me to any sites which depict such information very clearly.

Show the uniforms graphically through images of a boy and a girl wearing the correct uniform for the selected day of the week. If you want to go all out, you could have 360 degree views (spinnable by mouse/gesture) for the boy and girl.

How about this kind of table, replace smiley's with uniform images and Description of the uniform below that.

Photo and text. It's absolutely enough for parents. May be not enough for designer...

It seems to me to be over-complicated to have a "uniform" that changes on a daily basis, to the point that you require an app which informs people what to wear. But given the requirements, I'd simply show the list of items for each day.

If, for example, there are only a couple combinations, I'd give each combination a name and put the combination name on the calendar. Then I'd make the name itself a link to further information about it, including the detailed list of clothes and pictures of each item. Perhaps a picture of a model wearing the clothes but that might not be necessary.

If the uniform varies a lot, such that enumerating the combinations is impractical or impossible, I'd show the full list (with pictures) for each day.

Aside, is this an actual requirement for a real school? My high-school had a uniform and it wasn't nearly so complicated. There was just a list of allowable/required elements and it was distributed to the parents before the start of the school year. Most of the time the rules could be stated in a couple sentences, such as "From the start of the school year until October 1st, and from Easter until the end of the school year, the 'Summer Uniform' may be worn; the rest of the school year only the standard uniform is permissible. The standard uniform is ... for boys and ... for girls.' This certainly was straightforward enough that there was never any serious question, and if there was a problem the teachers would simply inform the students that they were "out of uniform".
