Japanese schoolboys and schoolgirls

This is how we got to Russian school uniforms. It was first introduced in 1834, when Russian Empire adopted a law on gymnasium and student uniforms. 62 years later, it became compulsory for high school students. Later, the school uniform was abolished, and only in 1949, during the times of the USSR, did it return again. Tunics with a stand-up collar for boys, brown dresses and aprons - for girls, a pioneer tie for everyone - the standard uniform of any Soviet schoolchild.

Basically, these are clothes in calm shades, which can be complemented with things from your everyday wardrobe. It looks more modern than in Soviet times, but " Last call"Russian schoolgirls still prefer to wear white aprons and tie bows, just like their mothers did.

School uniform - a necessity or a relic of the past? There are serious battles on this topic on the eve of Knowledge Day. To give our readers a basis for these debates, we will talk about how and when the uniform arose, how this school attribute is treated in different countries and how a British briefcase differs from a Japanese backpack.
The history of the emergence of school uniforms, however, is itself controversial. Some believe that they started going to school in the same clothes in Ancient Greece. Students were asked to wear shirts or tunics, light armor, and a cape called a chlamys. Other historians do not agree with this version of events; they refer to the fact that almost all Greeks wore similar clothes, and really strict requirements for school uniforms were imposed in Ancient India. No matter how hot it is, the student should come wearing dhoti hip pants and a long kurta shirt.
But as far as Europe is concerned, everything is very clear. The UK is considered a pioneer country in introducing school uniforms. For the first time since ancient times, special clothing appeared at Christ's Hospital school. Students wore dark blue tailcoats with tails, vests, bright knee socks and leather belts. However, then - in 1552 - orphans and children from low-income families studied at Christ's Hospital families, and now this school is considered elite. According to a recent survey, even modern students of Christ's Hospital speak positively about the school uniform. Even though it has not changed for 450 years, schoolchildren perceive it as a tribute to tradition, and not as an outdated attribute.
Pupils from one of the British schools, Harrow, in school uniform
Currently in the UK there is no uniform uniform for all educational institutions. Each school has its own requirements. For example, at Harrow boys wear not only trousers and jackets, but also straw hats, and at Elizabeth Garrett Anderson the students themselves came up with the clothing design - gray suits with pink stripes. In the most prestigious educational institutions mandatory element school clothes considered a logo or coat of arms.

In others European cities school uniforms are not valued that way. Thus, in France, a uniform school uniform existed only in 1927-1968, in Poland - until 1988, in Germany and Switzerland it resembles tracksuits and is accepted only in some educational institutions.
The example of Great Britain was followed by its former colonies - India, Australia, Singapore and others. There, school uniforms were not abolished even after these states were recognized as independent. Thus, schoolchildren in India attend classes only in a special uniform: boys wear dark blue trousers and white shirts, girls wear a light blouse and a dark blue skirt. In some schools in holidays girls wear saris.
Another former British colony, Singapore, has not introduced a uniform uniform for all schools. In each educational institution, it differs in color, but consists of classic elements - shorts and light shirts with short sleeves for boys, blouses and skirts or sundresses for girls. The uniforms of some schools are heavily decorated with badges or even shoulder straps.
Most Australian and New Zealand students also wear school uniforms. In its diversity it can be compared with the British one. But in Australian schools, due to the heat, they often wear shorts rather than trousers, and wear hats with wide or narrow brims.

In another hot country - Jamaica - school uniforms are considered compulsory. Many educational institutions have requirements not only for the suit, but also for the color of socks or the height of the heel of shoes. Jewelry is not welcome, nor are extravagant hairstyles. Many boys wear khaki shirts and trousers, and girls wear sundresses that fall below the knees different colors, complemented by stripes with the name of the school.
It serves as a reflection of the cultural traditions of the country. Therefore, it is not surprising that the clothes of schoolchildren in different countries are so different.

One in four English schoolchildren don't have to worry about what to wear to class. The solution to this problem has long been the school uniform - an approved set of clothes for boys and girls in Western secondary schools.
IN different times school uniforms looked different in different countries. Until recently, pressed jackets and shirts with starched collars, fancy knee socks and strict-length skirts were associated with elite educational institutions for children of wealthy parents. And it’s hard to imagine that school uniforms were originally intended for poor children who had nothing to wear to school at Christ’s Shelter. Their coats were of blue color, since blue dye was the cheapest in the 16th century. Since then, schools in which students wear blue coats have been called Bluecoat schools. But even such a conservative Great Britain tends to abandon certain traditions and styles. So, at the end of the 20th century, in many educational institutions, striped blazers were replaced by plain ones, because “stripes” were too expensive.
And the privileged private school Eton School, where only boys from the richest families or heirs of the royal court can study, abandoned the school uniform in the late 60s. The Eton School student's suit looked like this: a wide white starched collar, a vest and a short black jacket. Today this school uniform is worn in specialized choir schools for boys.
In another private school Sevenoaks School, which is one of the three oldest schools in England, requires all students to wear a uniform. Boys aged 7 to 11 wear blazers and trousers, girls wear blazers and kilts. When children enter sixth grade, they put on special costumes. The form is also provided for play activities. A set of clothes can be purchased in a special school store or on its website.
The American school uniform differs between private and public schools. In regular high schools you rarely see a sundress or a plaid skirt on girls, and blazers on boys. In US public schools, boys most often wear sneakers or sneakers, which is not acceptable in most private schools. In many schools, boys and girls wear a T-shirt and jumper in a specific color with the school logo on it.
In German secondary schools, school uniforms were almost never introduced. In addition, they prefer to call the uniform “clothes for school” (Schulkleidung). For example, in the schools of Hamburg-Sinstorf and Friesenheim, girls and boys wear stylish shirts and sweaters in blue or red. In addition, some German schools produce their own branded clothing, which is both fashionable and honorable to wear.
But students of Italian schools are still forced to dress in long shirts with white collars - grembiuli, which resemble at the same time a nightgown, tunic and robe of an artist. For graduates of Western high schools, the uniform remains forever in the memory. Someone dreams of putting on a jumper with a school badge again or proudly tying a tie, while others, many years later, have nightmares about a terrible, movement-restricting, creepy-colored uniform.
Perhaps the most fashionable school wardrobe today is that of Japanese schoolgirls. Young manga lovers are so delighted with short skirts, white knee socks, and most importantly, “sailor suits” (sera fuku), that they are ready to wear them even outside of school.
Today, school uniforms are incredibly popular among teenagers. The heroes of the Harry Potter films made the school uniform a symbol of being chosen, American comedies showed rebellious schoolboys and schoolgirls, and Japanese anime forced girls all over the world to devote a special place in their closets to skirts, socks and ties. In comfortable and stylish clothes, the learning process becomes even more enjoyable, which is why many boys and girls are happy to put on their school uniform and go to class.
To with my own eyes see how much time the descendants of conservative Englishmen spend dressing up for physical education and how young goths or emos put up with the dress code in western schools, you can tour American or English high schools. And it’s even better to sit at the same desk with those who managed to give up jeans for a while for the sake of quality education and an interesting pastime.
The debate over children wearing uniforms in schools has been going on for a long time. Some people think it's the same appearance equalizes children of all social classes. It allows you to better concentrate on your studies without being distracted by your desk neighbor’s new blouse or your classmate’s trendy jeans. Others, on the contrary, vote against it, saying that such measures do not allow teenagers to express themselves, turning everyone into a monochromatic mass. However, the obligatory uniform at school does not mean that it should be gray and ugly. Surely many of you, viewing foreign films about teenagers, they noticed, for example, how stylish the school uniforms of American schoolchildren look. In America, it is expected to be worn in private or even elite schools. In public educational institutions there is either a lax dress code, which is observed at special events, or there is no dress code at all. Let's take a closer look at what an American school uniform is.
For girls
As mentioned earlier, school uniforms in America can be completely different. Very often you can find the emblem of a school or college on it. In this way, students at a particular institution can be distinguished from students at another. Apart from the emblem, there are no more restrictions. The color, material and style of uniform for schoolchildren is determined by the director, teachers and parents. The most common option for girls is a skirt, blouse and jacket.
The skirt is most often short or medium length, with wedges. Dark blue, green or burgundy, and plaid is also quite popular. Slim fit blouse, white. And a jacket of the same color that was chosen as the main one. Quite often, in addition to it, schoolchildren also have a vest, which they wear over their shirt. For hotter weather, the choice falls on a polo T-shirt, which is also complemented by a jacket or a plain half-shirt with buttons. The American school uniform for girls is distinguished by restraint, but at the same time it looks stylish enough so that the younger generation does not have aversion to its everyday wear.
Uniform for boys
For boys and young men, the uniform is selected with a focus on convenience and compliance with the rules of the school dress code. It is usually gray or beige in color. White or light shirt and jacket with an emblem. Also, depending on the weather conditions of the particular place where the school is located, the shirt can be replaced with a polo or have short sleeves. American school uniforms for boys and young men almost always look simple, even a little baggy. But young people are inherently more mobile than girls, so clothes should be the most suitable. But this style is more often used in less elite schools, where equality is paramount. In more expensive private educational institutions, the uniform of young men is thought out to the smallest detail. Why her general form looks more neat and stylish.
Other school attributes
Looking through films or photographs showing American schoolchildren, one cannot help but notice some stylish details in their images. For example, a tie. It is worn by both girls and boys. It can be bright, again in the official color of the school, or simply a plain, discreet shade. Another interesting detail of the American school uniform is knee socks. This bow looks incredibly stylish. In general, it must be said that it is the knee socks that give that very chic look to the overall look. White to the knees or tall burgundy with two white stripes, they can be very different. The photo shows an American school uniform. You can see what students from prestigious schools look like.
Backpacks or bags, although they do not belong to the school uniform, are chosen by students regardless general requirements, but nevertheless perfectly complement the overall look. A fashionable monochromatic backpack fits perfectly with students' discreet outfits.
Lax dress code
As noted earlier, school uniforms are not present in every educational institution. On the contrary, about half of schools cost this moment and without it at all. But still, due to the lack of an approved uniform, schools often have a lax dress code. Guys most often wear jeans and T-shirts, sweaters and trousers. Usually these are convenient and comfortable things that do not restrict movement. However, there are still certain prohibitions.
What are American schoolchildren prohibited from wearing?
For example, girls in an educational institution should not appear in too revealing T-shirts and dresses or in too short skirts. Young men are prohibited from wearing trousers that hang down and expose inappropriate areas. A similar style was fashionable several years ago among young people, which school principals had to fight hard against. Also, baggyness is highly discouraged in the uniform of American schoolchildren. Because, unfortunately, one of America's huge problems is child care shootings. Based on this, large and dense items of clothing are undesirable, since they can easily carry weapons or illegal drugs. Another rule of American schools is the ban on wearing metal chains on clothes or bags. Again, for the safety of other students, because... such an item can be used as a weapon. The last thing that almost any school will be against is absolutely any piercing, except for the ears. True, in certain cases it is permissible for a student to have an earring in a non-standard place, with the written permission of the parents.
Support Group
Almost all American schools and colleges have their own basketball and football teams. This means there are fans. And also girls from the support group - cheerleaders, whose appearance is always very remarkable and bright. During breaks from games, they dance dynamic dances with elements of gymnastics. Most often, girls from the support group perform in the same bright T-shirts with the logo of the sports team, short skirts and knee socks.
In general, American school uniforms can be considered good example for imitation. But our country does not stand still; more and more educational institutions are making wearing a uniform a mandatory requirement. And this cannot but rejoice.
What school uniforms are worn in different countries. Photo.
In the modern era, school uniforms are compulsory in most developed countries of the world. Supporters of school uniforms give the following arguments:
