The new school year is rushing towards us, and with it comes the “headache” of how best to assemble and dress the mental front worker. If this is a newly minted student, then even more questions arise. Or maybe your school has introduced uniforms this year?
Advantages and disadvantages of school uniforms
There has already been a lot of convincing evidence in favor of the form, but the debate still does not subside. Many opponents allegedly argue that uniform kills personality. This is, of course, not true. Moreover, in the modern world of fashion for school uniforms, in order to become faceless, you still have to try. And this is a huge plus of today's fashionable new items.
Another positive point: the uniform promotes team spirit. Can you imagine a team of athletes in different outfits? So it is here. And it doesn’t matter whether you come from a rich family or a poor one, in the face of “His Majesty of Knowledge” you are one of the team. And, by the way, experts in the study of this area noted that children in uniform learn a little better than in loose clothing.
IMPORTANT! The form saves time, oddly enough.For example, a student does not think every day what he should wear today. And he doesn’t discuss with his classmates who dressed himself, what he wore, and for what money.
An important advantage is cost savings. The wardrobe is strictly designated and there is no need to waste money on unnecessary outfits.
The uniform also accustoms you to business style. It is especially difficult to accustom boys to a jacket and tie.
There are also disadvantages. If the school has a strict dress code with restrictions on filling out the uniform, then the child does not have the opportunity to express himself. Also, the cut and style of the uniform is not suitable for everyone, and any other style is prohibited. It is bad if girls are prohibited from wearing trousers. Then in cold weather you either have to freeze or change clothes.
What colors will be in trend?
School uniforms change trendy colors every year. And it’s good: every year there is something new, this increases the joy from the beginning of the school year. It’s a different story if your school has a certain color, and you’re not particularly fashionable.
REFERENCE. With the help of the parent committee, you can decide on the color and style of the uniform in accordance with the trend.
So what colors are in trend for this school year? As always, dark blue is the most popular color. The color is unique and beautiful. On the one hand, it has a representative appearance, on the other, it is not as official and prim as black.
The next popular color is burgundy. The main thing is to choose dark tones with beautiful shades of marsala, wine and berries.
INTERESTING! In burgundy uniforms, children are more active and engage with greater desire.
This year, stylists recommended dark green for the uniform, plain and deep tones. Green is believed to be calming and non-distracting.
Well, gray color in different tones and prints. There can be stripes, checks, and even patterns.
Fashionable clothing styles for school 2019
For girls:
- A popular place is occupied by a pleated skirt, which looks good on both high school and junior school girls.
- It will be comfortable in sundresses. A universal element of a school wardrobe. Its cut is so varied that it allows you to maintain the individuality of the image.
- The mass market also offers beautiful dresses, both with a cut-off bodice at the waist and A-line.
- If you are “lucky” with the school and girls are allowed to wear trousers, then there are a lot of beautiful models. And in warm climates, shorts are also popular.
And, of course, blouses, blazers, jackets, vests, pullovers, jumpers and various accessories. For boys, everything is more modest, but the elegance and tailoring are on point.
For particularly “advanced” schools, designers offer business suits made from denim. It looks non-trivial, comfortable and businesslike.
How to dress a schoolchild
And yet, the contents of the wardrobe in the senior and junior grades are slightly different. What to choose for your child?
Choosing a uniform for junior classes
Primary school students are still a hyperactive contingent. They often have a shirt that has come loose from their trousers, a tie at the back, or a skirt that has made several turns around the waist. Therefore, both convenience and practicality are important for primary school uniforms.
Girls can choose beautiful and loose sundresses that will look good both without blouses and with them. The sundress can be cut at the waist and with a pleated skirt. It is convenient to wear a T-shirt under it if the child is hot, and a long sleeve, and a turtleneck. Warm mid-thigh cardigans are a must for both girls and boys.
ATTENTION! Sometimes, in order to save money, we buy things for children to grow into, but this is wrong: in baggy, large clothes, the child will be uncomfortable and look ugly.
Also be careful with oversized ones.It rarely looks good on children.
Boys in the lower grades can forgo a jacket for now; it is better to buy a two-piece: trousers and a vest. And also stock up on shirts, turtlenecks, pullovers and jumpers.
IMPORTANT! It will be uncomfortable and unusual for a little boy to wear a jacket for several hours. Therefore, you can come up with an alternative: a knitted cardigan jacket.
What outfit is suitable for high school students?
Fashion for high school students is already an imitation of adult business style. Closer to graduation, school allows more freedom for self-expression in everyday school clothes.
Boys strive to choose suits with original trim and cut. Tapered and cropped trousers. Different colors of trousers and jacket. Stylish vests and beautiful sports-style cardigans with an embroidered school logo. Increasingly, teenagers prefer three-piece suits.
High school girls can be advised not to buy ready-made sets, but to assemble their wardrobe separately: a pleated skirt of the required length, a pencil skirt, fashionable high-waisted skirts.
If school fashion allows, be sure to choose trousers of your own style. They will be comfortable in cool weather.
IMPORTANT! Don't buy your daughter tight pants. Firstly, this is bad form in a business style, and secondly, you will be reprimanded. This is especially true for plump girls.
Choose the top in a color combination with the color of the entire uniform. Don't forget about cozy cardigans, jumpers and jackets. By the way, now it is very fashionable for young people to wear an oversized jacket with a short skirt or tapered trousers. If there are no objections from the school, then help your child choose the right oversized one.
IMPORTANT! In an oversized style, the body should be wide and loose, and the sleeves and neckline should be exactly the right size. Otherwise, it's just something from someone else's shoulder.
