Schools in the UK have recognized that children want to look fashionable so many of them have introduced a more casual uniform which reflects modern mode of dress.

Also taking into consideration many children have to be up early so short gray skirts may not be practical they now allow girls to wear trousers.

The following photos are of a junior school and the second one is in fact the current uniform of the school that I went to.

Though the girl in the photo wearing a skirt is wearing one that is fairly long and maybe considered not very modern the majority that wear skirts and I see the children going to the school most morning wear more modern ones very often very short ones. So I think the schools here have taken the middle ground basically making children have a uniform but not the starchy tradition image of one.

Those pics actually look quite similar to what kids are allowed to wear now. We could never wear trousers, but I see girls in pants and polo shirts, which seems fine for active kids.

I went to school in the stone age when women wore gloves and we were taught in prep school how to give teas. In the mid-70s, when I was a newlywed, my late husband thought it was unseemly for me to go shopping wearing pants. It all seems a long time ago on a planet far, far away...
