Top 6 school uniform trends for 2018

Many parents are interested in knowing about trends in school uniforms well in advance because they want their child to wear and look good in what is currently in fashion. The uniform must comply with the standards set by the school.  As a parent, you want to purchase items that your child can wear to school.




Here are some of the top school uniform trends for 2018:

1. Tartans are making a return!  

Tartans and patterned kilts are a great alternative to those tedious solid colours.  Public schools are generally the places where you find these types of options, but they are now being seen in secondary schools and in private schools too.

2. Revamping of Uniforms.

Some schools are converting to Academies and this is an opportunity to revamp their uniforms which tends to have an impact on the reputation of a school as well as how the community will perceive the school.

3. Sharp dressing in suits.

Blazers and ties are making a big comeback in popularity for school uniforms. Many schools are looking at a contrasting colour for ties and blazer trims to compliment each other and framing the uniform in a smart way and at the same time incorporating the school’s logo.

4. Sportswear is becoming more technical.

Garments are becoming a lot more cutting edge and are layered with fabrics that are not only technical but also performance based.  Instead of a t-shirt and shorts, these new garments are not only stylish but also extremely comfortable sportswear and do offer a great deal of perceived confidence to the wearer.

5. Pride. 

Many students enjoy wearing school uniform, so if it is particularly stylish then students will prefer to enroll in certain schools based on certain items of clothing that can be worn.

The school uniform is being revived because schools are recognizing the impact they have on the pride and the behavior of students who attend. When students are involved in the decision-making process involving uniforms, they tend to wear them with pride. Non-traditional shorter skirts and non-standard trousers are making an appearance in schools as students seek items that they can feel completely comfortable in.  It seems that the ritual of policing any non-standard uniform items is slowly being phased out. Teachers do not have the time to spend on policing uniform items.

Some say he’s half man half fish, others say he’s more of a seventy/thirty split. Either way he’s a fishy bastard.
