School uniform can make the lives of both parents and students easier, but secondary school students don’t often see it this way. School uniform can be very restricting when it comes to personal style, and too much focus around this matter can take the focus away from what’s really important. When students become too concerned with the restrictions of school uniform rules, this creates a conflicting environment and distracts focus and attention away from education. School students will still try to incorporate both personal style and fads into their school uniform, which often creates arguments between teachers and students, and valuable school time is then taken up and school uniform begins to have a counterproductive effect. Below we have put together our top tips for helping school students to feel comfortable in their uniform, without flagging concerns with teachers.
Your school should provide a set of clear and defined rules regarding school uniform and exactly what they expect from students. Read over these rules every time you buy a new school uniform garment, and each time the rules are amended or updated, and get your teen to do the same. If you or your teen are unsure about any of the school uniform rules double check with a teacher to avoid any conflict regarding your teen's uniform in the future.
School
shirts /
blouses
There are many different fits and styles of
school shirts, in summer it’s best to opt for a
short sleeved school shirt or blouse to keep cool and comfortable. If your teen doesn’t feel comfortable in a short sleeved school shirt,
3/4 sleeves are the next best option.
¾ sleeved shirts and blouses will still keep your teen cool, and provide a more feminine silhouette for fashion conscious teens; however we do sell
short sleeved school shirts with fitted waists for girls, this will still help your teen to keep cool, while avoiding that ‘boxy’ look which some short sleeved shirts can often create. Our
boy’s short sleeved shirts are stylish and simple designs that keep kids cool and comfortable during the summer. Small details On school shirts can make a difference and help a teen to express personal style, students that prefer a more relaxed fit may want to opt for a
school polo shirt if your school will allow this. Our Polo shirts are made from breathable fabric that provide a comfortable and relaxed fit, perfect for hot stuffy clasrooms.
School skirts
Schools will usually state a requirement that
school skirts are an ‘appropriate’ length, which creates an opportunity for debate. Make sure your teen's school skirt is at least around knee length to avoid a cause for concern. We sell school skirts in a variety of styles.
Pleated school skirts allow movement for comfort, while
fitted school skirts are a stylish option for summer weather. Allowing your teen to choose the style of their school skirt will help them to feel like they have a say in their choices regarding uniform and develop a sense of personal style without breaking school rules.
School shorts
School shorts provide a comfortable option for warm weather. Our
school shorts have elasticised waists and come in a range of colours, making it easier to meet the requirements of your school. Our School shorts allow your teen to be comfortable in warm weather, while still remaining a smart and formal look that won’t create any concern with teachers. As with school skirts, allowing your teen to choose their own
style of shorts will help them to feel as though they have an opportunity to express their personal style.
