In which foreign online stores can I buy a school uniform?

Hello dear Shopoklang blog readers!

The school season has not ended yet, the new one is still far away, and one of my good friends is already saddened by the choice of a school uniform for her daughter for the next school year. He says that it is better to buy now than to spend the whole of August in a crowd of shops later. After listening to her stories about last year's ordeals in local stores in search of things for a non-standard figure of a child - tall and thin - it was decided to make life easier for mothers and compile a top list of foreign online stores of school uniforms.

By purchasing a school uniform online and in advance, you will save yourself from the August hustle and bustle in stores on the eve of September 1st. In addition, you should also take into account the delivery time of the order to the Republic of Belarus and take care of the order in a timely manner.

In many of its former colonies, the form was not abolished even after independence, for example, in India, Ireland, Australia, Singapore, and South Africa.

The form In Great Britain is part of the school's history. Each school has its own uniform, which comes with a headdress, tie, outerwear and even socks. Each prestigious school has its own logo.

In Germany never had a single school uniform. Some schools have introduced uniform school clothing that is not a uniform, as students can participate in its development.

In France the situation is similar, each school has its own uniform, but a single school uniform existed only in 1927-1968.

In 1918 the uniform was abolished. After the revolution, they did not think about it until 1949, when tunics with a standing collar were introduced for boys, and brown dresses with a black apron for girls.

In 1962, the boys were dressed in gray woolen suits, and in 1973 in suits made of blue wool blend, with an emblem and aluminum buttons. In the 1980s, blue jackets were sewn for boys and girls. And in 1992, the school uniform was abolished, the corresponding line was excluded from the law "On Education".

Since September 1, 2013 in Russian schools. In some regions, schools will follow the recommendations of local authorities, in others they will set the requirements for students' clothing themselves.

Do you know how schoolchildren in other countries dress?

How the current schoolchildren of the former huge country dress and what is the attitude to this school uniform now, we already know firsthand.

We all have different opinions, we all have different moods, and everyone remains with his own. And yet, the time when the students of Ancient Greece put on a chlamys over chitons, and in Ancient India it was mandatory to wear dhoti hip pants and a kurta shirt even in extreme heat, is not so far away. And the tradition of dressing in a special uniform that distinguishes non-student children from students, whatever one may say, has remained. Although in Russia of the 19th century it was not considered shameful to walk in a gymnasium uniform after school, and was even encouraged. But... times are running, years are passing, and now France, Germany and a good half of Europe have already canceled any form at all, and colorful kids are dragging colorful satchels, blowing chewing bubbles.

But still traditions remain and manners remain. Let's see how and what the students of those countries in which the school uniform has not been canceled are dressed. We will see what is unusual in such clothes, or we will feel nostalgia. And we will see that one can even be proud of “one’s own” school and one’s school uniform.

In our opinion, it’s not bad at all to have your own style, your own emblem, your own distinction and be disciplined in everything.

Japan

School uniforms appeared in Japan at the end of the 19th century. At present, school uniforms are available in most private and public schools, but there is no single style and color scheme.

Japanese schoolgirls, 1920, 1921

In the early 20s of the 20th century, European-style sailors entered the women's school fashion. Oriental culture lovers call them in Japanese style seifuku or sailor fuku (sailor suit). Such dresses were ordered from a certain manufacturer only for students of a particular school. Sailor shorts were and still are popular in many schools, but they all differ in cut and color details.

Often on the Internet you can find images of high school girls in very short uniform skirts. Naturally, the uniform is not sewn with such short skirts, schoolgirls shorten them themselves. Fashion for short school skirts appeared in the early 90s under the influence of the popular Japanese pop singer Nami Amuro. Basically, tucking from above and pulling with a belt, and from above the collar and belt are closed with a jacket, jacket or vest. In this form, Japanese schoolgirls defile, as a rule, from home to school, and before entering the educational institution, skirts fall to the required length. While in the 70-80s in the Soviet school, young fashionistas (and their mothers) shortened their uniforms forever, cutting off the “extra” length and hemming the hem.

Sri Lanka

In all public and most private schools in Sri Lanka, students wear a school uniform.

The uniform for boys consists of a white short-sleeved shirt and blue shorts (up to grade 10, about 15 years old). On ceremonial occasions, a white long-sleeved shirt and white shorts are worn. Boys over 10th grade wear trousers instead of shorts.

The school uniform for girls differs from school to school, however, as a rule, it consists entirely of white matter. Possible differences: dress with short sleeves or without sleeves, with or without a collar. A white dress usually comes with a tie.

Below is an example of a uniform in a Muslim school in Sri Lanka

Magical purple and the girls look happy

Butane

The school uniform of Bhutan is a variant of the traditional national dress called "gho" for boys and "kira" for girls. Each school has its own color scheme.

Cuba

In Cuba, the form is mandatory, and not only for schoolchildren, but also for students. By the color of the school uniform, you can determine in which grade the child is studying.

There are three main types of form.

Junior classes - burgundy and white. Girls dress in burgundy sundresses and white blouses. Boys wear burgundy trousers with white shirts. Both boys and girls wear kerchief ties in the style of those worn by Soviet schoolchildren. True, in Cuba, ties are not only red, but also blue.

Middle classes - white top and yellow bottom. For girls, these are yellow skirts, and for boys, trousers. The girls also wear tall white socks under their sunny skirts. This version of the uniform is for older students.

Senior classes - shades of blue, or rather, a blue top and a dark blue bottom. Everything is also for girls - a skirt with a blouse, for boys - a shirt with trousers

North Korea

Students in North Korea are like Soviet pioneers. The main integral accessory to the school uniform is a red tie, a symbol of the communist movement. There is no single uniform standard.

Vietnam

Uniforms in Vietnam may vary depending on the school or area where the school is located. But, as a rule, the most common form is a light top, a dark bottom and a red tie in the manner of a pioneer. This uniform is worn by elementary and middle school students. High school girls wear the traditional national clothes Aozai (a long silk shirt worn over pants) in white. High school students prefer dark pants and white shirts, but without a tie. In remote villages, school uniforms are not worn.

Girls dressed in Aozai look very elegant

Traditional clothes are not only beautiful, but also comfortable.

England

In modern England, each school has its own uniform. School symbols and a certain style are widely used here, which distinguish students. Moreover, in prestigious schools in England, uniforms are a matter of pride. Jackets, trousers, ties and even socks should in no case deviate from a given tradition. This is considered not just a violation, but also disrespect for a particular educational institution.

Below are the most interesting, in our opinion, schools in England.

The King's School in Macclesfield

The Ryleys Preparatory School

Cheadle Hulme School

Eton College

The controversy over the wearing of uniforms by children in schools has been going on for a long time. Some believe that the same appearance equalizes the guys of all social strata. It allows you to better concentrate on your studies, without being distracted by a new blouse of a neighbor on your desk or a classmate's fashionable jeans. Others, on the contrary, vote against, stating that such measures do not allow teenagers to express themselves, turning everyone into a monochromatic mass. However, the compulsory form at school does not mean that it should be gray and ugly. Surely many of you, watching foreign films about teenagers, noticed, for example, how stylish the school uniform of American schoolchildren looks. In America, it is supposed to be worn in private schools or even elite ones. In public educational institutions, there is either a non-strict dress code that is observed at ceremonial events, or its complete absence. Let's take a closer look at what the American school uniform is.

For girls

As mentioned earlier, school uniforms in America can be completely different. Very often on it you can find the emblem of a school or college. Thus, students of a certain institution can be distinguished from students of another. Apart from the emblem, there are no more restrictions. The color, material and style of the 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 a cage is also quite popular. Fitted blouse, white. And a jacket of the same color that was chosen as the main one. Quite often, in addition to him, schoolchildren also have a vest that is worn over a shirt. For hotter weather, the choice falls on a polo shirt, which is also complemented by a jacket or a plain button-down half-over. The American school uniform for girls is restrained, but at the same time it looks stylish enough that the younger generation does not have rejection of its everyday wear.

Boys uniform

For boys and young men, the uniform is selected with a focus on convenience and compliance with the rules of the school dress code. Usually it is gray or beige. White or light-colored 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 shirt or have short sleeves. The American school uniform for boys and young men almost always looks simple, even a little baggy. But young people are inherently more mobile than girls, so the clothes should be the most appropriate. But this style is more often used in less elite schools, where equality is above all else. In more expensive private educational institutions, the form of young men is thought out to the smallest detail. Why its overall appearance looks more neat and stylish.

Other school attributes

Looking at films or photographs showing American schoolchildren, one cannot fail to note some stylish details of 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 just a plain, discreet shade. Also an interesting detail of the American school uniform is knee-highs. This bow looks incredibly stylish. In general, I must say that it is the knee-highs that give the very chic to the image as a whole. Knee-length white or tall burgundy with two white stripes, they can be very different. Pictured is an American school uniform. You can see what the students of prestigious schools look like.

Backpacks or bags, although they do not belong to the school uniform and are chosen by students regardless of the general requirements, nevertheless perfectly complement the overall look. A fashionable plain backpack is perfect for a discreet student outfit.

Lax dress code

As noted earlier, school uniforms are not present in every educational institution. On the contrary, about half of schools do without it at the moment. But still, in the absence of an approved uniform, schools often have a non-strict 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, certain prohibitions still exist.

What is prohibited for American schoolchildren to wear?

So, for example, girls in an educational institution should not appear in too revealing T-shirts and dresses and in too short skirts. Young men are forbidden to wear hanging trousers that expose inappropriate places. A similar style was fashionable a few years ago among young people, with which school principals had to fight hard. Also, in the form of American schoolchildren, baggy is highly discouraged. Because, unfortunately, one of America's biggest problems is childcare shootings. Based on this, large and dense items of clothing are undesirable, because 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, tk. a similar 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. And that means there are fans. As well as girls from the support group - cheerleaders, whose appearance is always very remarkable and bright. During breaks, 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 a sports team, short skirts and golfs.

In general, the American school uniform can be considered a good example to follow. But our country does not stand still, more and more educational institutions are introducing the wearing of uniforms as a mandatory requirement. And this is good news.

Japanese school uniform In Japan, an individual form is developed for each educational institution, although all must comply with generally accepted requirements. If there is a variant of school classics in the country? Yes. This is a "sailor's fuku" for girls, which is familiar to Russian schoolchildren from multiple animated works. Not many people know that school uniforms in different countries, in particular in Japan, include socks, a scarf and even underwear. Despite the democratic approach to the clothes of schoolchildren, there are certain rules for wearing them in the country: Boys up to the 7th grade must attend school in shorts, only by the 8th grade they are allowed to switch to trousers.
Girls during the entire school year do not wear tights on their legs, only knee-highs or high socks. Even in extreme heat, girls are required to come to the general school line, which is held under the supervision of the director three times a week, in sweaters. A mandatory accessory attached to the form is a large briefcase or bag, as shown in the photo. Shoes are allowed only with low heels. An interesting fact known to few: girls, in order to give their long socks a lowered look, form an accordion-shaped shaft and glue them directly to their feet with special glue.

English school uniform The school uniform in different countries differs, first of all, in that in some states it is the same for the population of all regions and institutions, in others it is an attribute of only one educational center. The modern look of the uniform for boys and girls has common standards for all regions, but it is sewn individually for each institution. In some cases, the differences are of an age-related nature, for example, one of the elements of the uniform for boys under 14 years old is shorts, the older ones are already switching to trousers. There are also differences of a seasonal nature, for example, summer light dresses for girls in the summer are replaced by warm sundresses in winter.
The British, known throughout the world for their conservatism, it turns out, are very fond of improvising. For example, not a single set of school uniforms in different countries contains straw hats, except at Harrow School in London. School uniforms in other countries School uniforms in different countries are tied to the climatic conditions of the state and differ in some national color: Australia and Oceania: the uniform resembles British school clothes, only in a lightweight version (hot climate); African countries: the form is distinguished by the presence of bright colors: from blue to yellow, pink, purple;

School uniforms in Australia and Oceania

The school uniform in Australia and Oceania resembles the traditional British one, but is more open and lighter. In Australia and New Zealand, due to the hot climate and unhealthy scorching sun, students wear hats as part of their school uniform.

The school uniform in Thailand is the sexiest.

Students in Thailand are required to wear a school uniform from elementary school to college. The new style of uniform for female students looks very sexy. A white blouse that fits snugly on the upper body, and a black mini skirt with a slit that fits snugly around the hips. Of course, not in all educational institutions, Thai students can see the advantages and disadvantages of the figures of female students. Girls used to wear skirts below the knee, so the older generation of Thais believe that such a school uniform is detrimental to morality. In addition, in such clothes, schoolgirls with flaws in the figure and overweight probably do not feel very comfortable.

The school uniform in Malaysia is the most conservative.

Students in Malaysia are subject to fairly strict rules. Dresses for girls should be long enough to cover the knees. Shirts should cover the elbow. The complete opposite of Thai schoolgirls. This is understandable - an Islamic country.

The school uniform in Oman is the most ethnic.

School uniforms in Oman are believed to showcase the ethnic characteristics of the nation most clearly. Guys are required to wear to school wearing traditional, white Islamic-style robes. Girls should cover their faces, and even better, stay at home.

School uniforms in Bhutan are the most practical.

It is said that students in Bhutan do not carry schoolbags. All textbooks and a pencil case are placed under their clothes, because the school uniform always bulges in different parts of the body.

School uniforms in the United States are the most obtrusive.

Students can decide for themselves whether they will buy and wear a school uniform or not. By the way, and how they will wear it, they also decide for themselves.

The school uniform in China is the most athletic.

School uniforms in most schools in China differ only in size. You won't see much difference between girls' and boys' clothes, because, as a rule, schoolchildren wear tracksuits - cheap and practical!

The school uniform in Cuba is the most ideologically correct.

The most important detail of a school uniform in Cuba is a pioneer tie. Hello from the USSR!
