In which foreign online stores can you buy school uniforms?

Hello, dear readers of the Shopoklang blog!

The school season has not yet ended, 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 it’s better to buy now than to spend the whole August in a crowd of shops later. After listening to her stories about last year's ordeal in local stores in search of things for a child's non-standard figure - tall and thin - it was decided to make life easier for mothers and compile a top list of foreign online stores for school uniforms.

By purchasing school uniforms online and in advance, you will save yourself from the August bustle and mass rush 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. They will help you find out what your child’s height will be in half a year, or even a year.

In the Republic of Belarus, samples of business style clothing are approved by the Coordination Council on business style clothing for students of general secondary education institutions (Resolution of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Belarus and the Ministry of Trade of the Republic of Belarus dated August 19, 2013 No. 77/19 “On the Coordination Council on business style clothing for students of general secondary education institutions"). These samples are updated annually and can be found on the website of the Bellegprom concern. For example, .

School uniform models from foreign manufacturers are not approved by anyone, but at the same time they are distinguished by high quality fabric and cut, stylish design, comfort and functionality. Don’t be alarmed if you see a mixture of synthetics in the product description on the website! School uniforms are widely sewn from mixtures of natural and synthetic fabrics - this is done in order to make them durable and wrinkle-resistant, and also to withstand the entire school season, maintaining its original appearance.

Where to buy school uniforms?

At the moment, the websites are selling out the collections of the current academic year - the choice is scarce, but the prices are very reasonable. At the end of the school year, all items will be on sale! Prices will be minimal! New collections of school uniforms for the next school year will appear in June.

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.

At 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 blue because blue dye was the cheapest dye 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.

At another private school, Sevenoaks School, which is one of the three oldest schools in England, all students are required 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 pants” (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 see with your own eyes 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 take a tour of 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.

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:

The uniform does not allow the development of subcultures at school.
- there are no ethnic or gender differences; the level of income of parents is not visible from clothing.
- children and students get used to the formal style of clothing that will be needed at work in the future.
- students feel like a single team, a single team.

Let's see what school uniforms are worn in different countries of the world. It will be interesting.

School uniforms in Thailand are the sexiest.

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

School uniforms in England are the most classic.

The style of the school uniform is classic and traditional. Secondary school students must wear the standard English-style school uniform. The boys wear classic suits, regular leather boots and a tie. Girls also wear western style clothes, regular leather shoes and a bow tie. It is believed that this classic style of clothing subconsciously influences the temperament of English students, as well as the sense of beauty.

School uniforms in Japan are the cutest.

For students in Japan, the school uniform is not only a symbol of the school, but also a symbol of current fashion trends, which is often a deciding factor when choosing a school. Japanese school uniforms for girls look like sailor suits. An indispensable attribute of the school uniform for girls is a short skirt and knee socks. Such schoolgirls are well known to anime fans. Japanese school uniforms for boys are classic dark suits, often with a stand-up collar.

School uniforms in Malaysia are the most conservative.

Students in Malaysia are subject to fairly strict rules. Girls' dresses should be long to cover the knees. Shirts must cover the elbow. The complete opposite of Thai schoolgirls. This is understandable - an Islamic country.

School uniforms in Australia are the most uniform.

Both boys and girls in Australia are required to wear black leather boots, matching jackets and ties.

School uniforms in Oman are the most ethnic.

The school uniform in Oman is considered to most clearly demonstrate the ethnic characteristics of the nation. Boys must wear traditional, white Islamic-style clothing to school. Girls should cover their faces, or better yet, stay at home.

School uniforms in Bhutan are the most practical.

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

School uniforms in the USA are the coolest.

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

School uniforms in China are 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 the pioneer tie. Greetings from the USSR!

School uniform - is it good? Does it help class cohesion and maintain discipline, or does it kill individuality and self-expression? Much depends on the traditions of education adopted in a particular country or in different schools.

Obviously, the form itself will not make the student more curious, more diligent, or smarter. And it makes no sense to refer to the experience of English educational institutions with a five-century history as an argument “for” the form. Even if all the children wore wizard robes and pointy hats, their school would not turn into Hogwarts. However, the way schoolchildren look in a particular country says a lot about the culture and mentality of its people.

Great Britain

The very concept of “school uniform” appeared in the UK. Back in 1553, not far from London, Christ’s Hospital School was founded by royal decree - an educational institution for boys from poor families, which to this day is called the “blue coat school”. True, now this is a privileged educational institution for children of both sexes. The uniform is still the same: long tailcoats, white “judge” ties, short culottes and yellow stockings. Oddly enough, children are proud of their medieval attire and do not try to make a revolution in order to dress appropriately for the era.

In general, there are very few schools in the UK that do not have compulsory uniforms. Public schools have their own "heraldic colors" that students must adhere to. It is not uncommon for boys to wear shorts and knee socks until late fall until high school. In private institutions, you need to buy uniforms in the school store, and not only a suit in winter and summer versions, but also physical training, socks, ties, often shoes and even hair clips.

Cuba

Cuban schoolchildren receive sundresses and shorts of rich cherry color free of charge, as well as textbooks and writing materials. The high school students' outfit is designed in a tobacco color scheme. Closer to graduation, Cubans change clothes again, this time into blue shirts and blue trousers and skirts. All children are members of the youth division of the Communist Party, so the uniform is complemented by red or blue scarves - in the manner of pioneer ties.

India

In some schools, the uniform for girls is a sari or shalwar kameez of a particular color. But more often it is a European costume for everyone - a legacy of the times of British rule. Alas, what is good for the cool climate of Foggy Albion pretty much poisons the lives of children whose schools are located on the equator. Sikh boys wear turbans to school. In public schools, children from low-income families receive uniforms, textbooks and stationery for free, but probably every parent dreams of sending their child to a better school, although by Indian standards this is quite expensive.

Japan

The most famous version of the Japanese school uniform for girls is the “sailor fuku”, a sailor suit with many variations. The best designers are working on the development of models - after all, a spectacular form is one of the factors in attracting new students to the school, which is extremely important in a rapidly aging country with negative population growth. Recently, the trend has changed - sailor suits are losing relevance, Japanese school style is drifting towards English.

An interesting story happened with the men's traditional jacket with a stand-up collar - gakuran, reminiscent of an ancient military sailor's jacket. The word "gakuran" consists of two characters that mean "student" and "West", jackets of this style were worn by schoolchildren and students in Japan, Korea and China for almost 100 years (less so in China, of course). But gakuran was also loved by members of numerous gangster associations. In addition, the same hieroglyphs can be deciphered as “school robbery.” In the 70s of the 20th century, psychologists decided that gakuran has a certain “dark aura” and is one of the reasons for school violence, which has become an acute social problem. But to this day, many Japanese schoolchildren wear gakurans; for them it is not so much a tribute to tradition as a protest and a challenge to public opinion.

China

After the end of the Cultural Revolution and until the mid-90s of the 20th century, a variety of colors and styles reigned in the country - each school itself decided what its students would look like. However, in 1993, new state standards for school uniforms were released; from now on, they had to ensure freedom of movement, be practical and cheap. And it turned out that the easiest way is to dress the children in tracksuits - both boys and girls. Only prestigious private schools insisted on following the British or Japanese style.

Since heating in educational institutions is only available in the very north of the country, in the cold season children pull on their uniforms over warm clothes, but when the sun begins to warm up, pants and sweatshirts turn out to be a size or two larger. Today, most Chinese schools have opted for the flour sack. It must be said that neither the students nor their parents liked this “fashion trend.” Under the influence of public opinion, as well as after several scandals when carcinogens were found in cheap fabric, the Chinese government returned to the issue of school uniforms and again changed the standards towards lighter ones. So, soon Chinese children will again look not like juvenile thugs.

Australia

Junior classes usually wear standard polo shirts and shorts, both girls and boys - this is convenient for active games. Private schools follow the British tradition and dress children in business casual. However, in general, Australian school clothes lack elegance and hints of sexuality. It is believed that somewhat baggy dresses and heavy lace-up boots are intended to deter pedophiles.

Ireland

Many schools have adopted plaid skirts and ties, which evoke associations with Celtic clans. Instead of formal jackets, as a rule, students wear knitted jumpers and cardigans. It is noteworthy that Irish children, like English children, even in sub-zero temperatures, wear uniform socks.

Germany

Perhaps the Germans are stopped by memories of the times of the Third Reich, when almost all children came to classes in the uniform of the Hitler Youth, but in Germany there are no uniforms in public schools, although there have been debates about this for many years, and in some places they are introduced in person. By the way, immigrants from the USSR who moved to German lands became big opponents of the unification of schoolchildren’s clothing. But individual school councils can make decisions on branded school colors with the wish that at least something in the students’ everyday attire matches the brand book.

Malaysia

In Muslim countries, the school uniform for girls is a hijab of varying degrees of severity. However, Malaysians are not fundamentalists; moreover, the country is very international, multilingual and tries to adhere to a pro-Western course. Muslim women wear long tunics; for students from secular families there is a shorter option. The school uniform in the country was unified in 1970 - in both private and public schools it is mandatory and the same, in blue and white. The country's Ministry of Education has officially banned schoolgirls from dyeing their hair and using cosmetics. Also prohibited are costume jewelry and jewelry, and in some places overly elegant hairpins.

Egypt

After well-known revolutionary events, Islamic fundamentalists came to power in Egypt. At the same time, a law was passed allowing girls to come to lessons and exams in clothing that left only their eyes exposed. However, in international schools, which operate, as a rule, in resort towns where foreigners prefer to settle, everything is still practical and democratic. Of course, there are schoolgirls wearing headscarves in Hurghada and Sharm al-Sheikh, but they are in the minority.

Turkmenistan

The girls are dressed in long bright green dresses with national embroidery and skull caps. Hairstyle - two braids, and if you are unlucky with your own hair, you can buy extensions. Moreover, students of colleges (blue) and universities (red) also wear uniform dresses. Boys come to classes in a more classic style, but also in skullcaps.

School uniforms in America are common mainly in private schools. And, as a rule, it contains the emblem of the educational institution. In ordinary public schools, most often, there is no school uniform. But there are certain rules of clothing style (Dress code). Moreover, different institutions have different rules. For example, the length of a miniskirt should not be shorter than the tips of the fingers, transparent clothing is prohibited, there should be no obscene inscriptions on T-shirts, etc. As a rule, schoolchildren wear simple clothes: jeans, wide T-shirts, sneakers.

American schoolchildren's clothing

Freedom in American Schools

Unlike other countries, children in American schools have more freedom, which is expressed not only regarding the form of clothing, but also other aspects. For example, each student has his own locker, there are no permanent classes when all students study together for years, there is no whole unified program, the student takes those subjects that interest him. There is also no strictness in behavior. For example, students can sit on the floor, etc.

There are still various discussions going on regarding school uniforms in the United States. While some believe that it is better to have a mandatory uniform, others refute this. These discussions were especially popular during the reign of President Bill Clinton, since it was he who actively supported the idea of ​​​​introducing a school uniform. So in 1996, the US Department of Education issued a special guide to school uniforms, which listed the advantages of a uniform. The report described various experiments related to the introduction of uniforms in some schools. In particular, it was said that as a result of the introduction of the uniform, there were fewer crimes in schools, and general academic discipline also improved.

I suggest watching a video about school clothes (dress code) in Russian of a schoolgirl who studied at an American school.

On the other hand, compulsory school uniforms in America can hinder the development of children's own taste, style, and comfort. It can also cause some inconvenience for parents. Therefore, in the United States, they nevertheless abandoned the introduction of permanent uniforms. And this issue was left to the discretion of local authorities. In this regard, the management of each school decides for itself what rules for wearing clothes to introduce. Of course, parents play an active role in this matter. Because, in fact, schools in America exist at the expense of their budget.
