I went to public schools/university, so I wore regular clothes
Uniform? Hah, we wore everyday random clothes. And some of us, including myself, would even wear metal spikes.
I wore my spikes on my custom made wristwatch band, but others would wear them around their necks or on their shoulders.
The 90’s were fun!
Still furious with my parents about this. You get this tiny window in life to wear what you want and they took it from me.
We had 2 a formal and a sport uniform.
The formal was a white button down shirt with thin blue lines and blue shorts.
The sport uniform was a white polo shirt with the school logo over the left breast and red shorts.
The school was unhappy with many students because we would wear the sport shirt with the formal shorts as it was more comfortable during the Australian summer. The formal shirt and red sport shorts were rarely seen together as they just seemed like an odd pairing.
Typical Australian style - Colours were a dark blue polo shorts and grey shorts/pants.
Fairly standard (for the UK, in the '70s): black trousers, blue or white shirt, dark blue blazer, school tie etc.
BUT, the blazer had the school emblem on, which was derived from the poultry trade that had been a major feature of the town’s prosperity at one time: we all had a large un-ironic turkey embroidered on our chests.
Just normal clothes
I didn’t have one. There was a dress code of some sort, although a lot of high school’s dress code was determined by the fact they kept the AC very low.
Khaki or navy blue pants or shorts. Lower grades wore a ridiculous light blue button up that had a huge collar. I tried to find a pic but the school has changed shirts to a polo to match the high school (grey or blue polo). All shirts had school logo on it. And then of course the school’s jacket which was navy blue.
A polo and jeans until I escaped to public school.
My kids wear:
-
khaki slacks or shorts or skirts. Girls middle school and above can wear black slacks instead
-
navy tees or sweatshirts with the school logo. They can earn white or orange uniform tops by exemplary conduct and attendance
-
They can wear solid-color sweaters or sweatshirts with no text or images in the winter months, but only in white, black, or navy
-
footwear and jewelry are up to the student / parents, except that Crocs are forbidden. I don’t know why Crocs are forbidden.
. I don’t know why Crocs are forbidden.
We really need to start screening people for certain tendencies who work with children.

Private school, Nursery through 8th grade was basic regular clothes, but you weren’t allowed to have any pictures or words on your clothing, only patterns and solid colors. No sports jerseys, no Nike swoosh, etc. Also no dyed hair. 9th - 12th grades we could wear whatever we wanted and dye our hair.
A dress shirt, sunrise-colored tie, monochrome skirt, socks/shoes, the kind most people think of whether they’re drawing you or not.
Khaki pants/shorts and a school provided shirt in either white or the worst green color I’ve ever seen. The day they let us tiedye our white shirts was great, always wore those haha
boys: blue pants and golden colored shirt. in some ways it looked vagues like a tos captain. girls plaid jumber with white blouse till some grade where it changed to white blouse and plaid skirt.
Slacks and button down shirt. I don’t remember exactly but it has to be from one particular retailer.
And stop saying that I found my old uniform many years later, cut it up with a box cutter, mailed it to my old middle school principal with a note on it. You can’t prove that was me.
