School uniforms aren't a thing outside rich people schools here in Denmark.
In all the schools I went to no one gave a shit which brand of clothes you wore and no one was picked on for being poor.
Same here in the US -- I can't recall anyone people being picked on for clothes, though I'm sure it must have happened.
People sure did get picked on for other things, though.
