Which school uniform is better to buy. School uniform is about what interests me. Types of clothes for girls

On the eve of the school season, parents begin to ask the classic question - what form to choose for a child. Indeed, the choice becomes wider every year, and all because now brands are also concerned about the desire to improve quality, using only the most modern materials, and make school uniforms really stylish clothes.

Purchase on demand

The first thing you should pay attention to when choosing a form is, of course, the requirements for a particular educational institution. They are different everywhere: the school can express wishes on the length and shape of children's skirts or the style of a sundress, of course, the color of the students' uniform will already be determined in advance.

Modern manufacturers sew the uniform wisely - in new models you can find a cut with an allowance: in this case, the thing can be unstuck if it is narrow at the waist, or you can let go of the length of the trousers with a rapid growth in the child's growth in the middle of the school season. This is incredibly convenient for several reasons. Firstly, in some schools, the requirements for the uniform may change after a year, which means that a kit purchased in winter can last only six months. And secondly, it is incredibly expensive, because children's jackets, trousers and sundresses are at prices comparable to full-fledged adult things.

Departure from the rules

Despite the fact that in most educational institutions there are strict rules that concretize all parts school kit- all the same, parents are given a huge field for experiments in creating incredibly stylish bows. Moreover, the strict form suits most children, and the schoolchildren themselves, thanks to the consistent style, begin to feel more adult and more responsible.

Cell history

Some schools have gladly adopted the idea of ​​the western form of students, where the main accent is a bright red or gray plaid. Skirts with wide fold, as well as trapezoidal cuts with a wrap and a series of buttons already in themselves create a wonderful English style, which, despite its brightness, remains laconic, rather restrained and at the same time ultra-fashionable.

Do not think that the cage is an exclusively feminine print; for boys, many brands sew stunning jackets, ties and bow ties. By the way, now it is quite acceptable school decoration for the students, a butterfly has also become, but it is quite possible to do with a checkered bow tied around the neck or a fabric brooch in the same style.

Substitution principle

School uniform does not have to include only one set of things that will be worn throughout the year. It is likely that the educational institution does not have a very strict black and white tandem. When the child starts to get tired of classic shirts, T-shirts and sweaters with polo collars will come to the rescue: they look just as restrained, but they are much more comfortable in them - especially during breaks. It is worth buying cotton badlons with a high neck in soothing colors at the beginning of the school season - they are ideal for the cold season.

The shirts themselves can also be completely different, and we are not talking about color palette as much about the variety of modern fabrics. School hit taking into account the main criteria - convenience and practicality - these are soft shirts made of wrinkle-free fabrics: fleece items, structured fabrics, mixed linen and the like.

There is no much style

The famous brand Dolche & Gabbana this season easily proved that even discreet grey colour school uniform can be boring - just look at the proposed models of costumes from new collection autumn 2016. Hangers were filled with cocoon and oversized dresses, sundresses with complicated draperies, double-breasted jackets and frock coats with a military style bias, and the line was replenished unusual accessories- White round collars inspired by the 80s, huge fabric bows, headbands and pom-pom brooches that will be incredibly popular this year.

Naturally, no one encourages parents to buy exclusively luxury things so that the negligent child looks as elegant and fashionable as possible. But designer couturiers undoubtedly have a lot to learn - individual style elements, such as the shape of a skirt or a certain decoration, can easily be found in modern mass markets.

Twos and threes are not grades

These are costume options for boys! The triplets this year promise to be incredibly popular, and it will be fashionable to wear a thin jersey vest under a jacket, which may differ in color. Pants and jacket do not have to come from the same set, unless required by the school. Black or gray blazers will go well with dark brown or blue trousers.

Another trend that is not yet taking root very well in Russia due to weather conditions is french style where boys wear elongated Bermuda shorts instead of trousers. Although in order to school image with shorts was really trendy, you need to add a vest to the bow and remember that this form is only permissible for elementary school boys.

In 1834 it was approved general system all civilian uniforms in Russian Empire, including for secondary educational institutions. The regulation on the gymnasium uniform for girls was approved in 1896.

The form of students in secondary educational institutions was of a paramilitary character. Similar in style, their caps, greatcoats and tunics differed in color, edging, as well as buttons and emblems. Gymnasium students wore light blue caps with a black visor, colored piping and an emblem. The emblem was attached to the rim and consisted of two silver palm branches, between which were placed the initials of the city, the number of the gymnasium and the letter "Г" (for example, "SPB.3.G." or "M.5.G."). In summer, a cover made of kolomyanka was put on the crown of a cap. In winter, in cold weather, they wore headphones made of black felt on a brown bike inside. In addition, in frosty weather, they wore a hood of the color of natural camel hair, trimmed with gray braid.

Casual uniform gymnasium students consisted of a woolen gymnast of blue color(the fabric is darker than on the cap) with silver raised buttons, belted with a black lacquered belt with a silver buckle, on which they were engraved and painted over black paint the same letters and numbers as on the emblem (but without the palm branches). The gymnasium's trousers were black, without piping. The boots were black, lace-up. In summer, gymnasium students wore kolomyanka gymnasts with silver buttons.

High school students usually did not wear gymnastics, but jackets with a standing collar, like a sea jacket. In some gymnasiums, tunics and jackets were not blue, but gray, while trousers were always black.

High school students also had a uniform - a uniform, dark blue or dark gray, single-breasted, with a collar trimmed with silver braid. This uniform was worn with or without a belt (outside of school). A starchy collar was worn to the uniform. The overcoat was of the officer's type, light gray, double-breasted, with silver buttons, the buttonholes were blue, in the color of the cap, with white piping and buttons. The overcoats were cold and wadded, with a gray quilted lining. Instead of a scarf, they wore a black cloth bib, like a sailor's. Students elementary grades a black astrakhan collar was allowed in winter.

The teachers and, above all, the guards strictly monitored the observance of all the rules for wearing the suit.

But on unwritten rules the gymnasium student on the street was obliged to hide the number of the gymnasium in which he studied, so that the gymnasium student who committed the offense could remain unidentified. The number had to be torn out of his cap, and the schoolboy who did not do this was brutally persecuted by his comrades. For the same purpose, the belt plate was turned over and hidden.

Gymnasium students were strictly forbidden to wear different colored costume items, for example, a gray blouse and black trousers. The suit was supposed to be only black. However, high school students often wore pants and suits of different colors.

Everyday dresses of the pupils were sewn from kamlot. The preparatory school girls (five to seven years old) wore coffee or brown dresses; from eight to ten - blue or blue; from eleven to thirteen - gray. The senior schoolgirls wore white dresses. The dresses were closed ("deaf"), one-color, of the simplest cut. They wore a white apron, a white cape and, sometimes, white sleeves.

School uniform in the USSR

1920s-1950s: From Experiment to Classics

This form existed until the end of 1962 school year... First-graders-boys on September 1, 1962 went to school already in new form- no caps with a badge, no waist belts with a massive buckle, no tunics. The uniform for girls has hardly changed.

1950s postcard

In addition, in 1943, separate education was introduced, which, however, was abandoned in 1954.

The severity of the mores of the Stalin era extended, of course, to school life... The smallest experiments with the length or other parameters of the school uniform were severely punished by the administration. educational institution.

Since the early 1960s, the uniform has been changed in the direction of departure from "militarism". The boys received a gray wool blend suit - trousers and a single-breasted jacket with three black plastic buttons. Recommended under the jacket White shirt... V lower grades it was customary to sew White collar over the jacket collar. The cap was replaced by a dark blue beret. The uniform for girls remains the same. In 1960, a new uniform appeared in Leningrad. Since 1962, the new uniform became compulsory, although many schoolchildren could still go to school in the old one until the mid-1960s. No mandatory requirements for wearing a uniform outside of school or on top winter clothes did not exist.

Boys from the 1975-1976 school year have gray woolen trousers and the jackets were replaced by trousers and jackets made of blue wool blend. The cut of the jackets was reminiscent of the classic jeans jackets(the so-called "denim fashion" was gaining momentum in the world) with shoulder straps and breast pockets with brace-shaped flaps } ). The jacket was fastened with aluminum buttons, reminiscent of the military in design. The buttons were of 2 diameters - smaller for elementary school students and larger for high school students. An emblem (chevron) was sewn on the side of the sleeve. soft plastic with a drawn open tutorial and the rising sun- a symbol of enlightenment. For high school boys, trousers and a jacket were replaced by pantsuit... The color of the fabric was still blue. There was also an emblem on the sleeve in blue. On this emblem, in addition to the sun and an open book, there was a stylized image of an atom. Very often the emblem was cut off, as it did not look very aesthetically pleasing, especially after some time - the paint on the plastic began to wear off. There were also very rare embossed-convex emblems made of plastic on a fabric basis. They did not lose color and looked very elegant.

School uniforms of the Soviet era (or dresses stylized as it) with white aprons are traditionally worn by graduates on the Last Bell as a symbol of farewell to school, and less often on other holidays. However, in a number of schools (several lyceums in Naberezhnye Chelny, Prokhorovskaya gymnasium, a number of schools in Krasnoyarsk and Ufa) dresses and aprons for girls either survived from the Soviet era, or were reintroduced in the 2000s in order to raise student discipline.

By school uniforms, we mean the uniforms for students during their stay at school. Now, as before, there are many pros and cons. wearing a school uniform . Let's take a look at how the school uniform developed in Russia.

You can even call the exact date introduction of school uniforms in Russia. This happened in 1834. It was in this year that a law was passed that approved a separate type of civilian uniform. These included gymnasium and student uniforms. The costumes that were intended for boys of that time were a kind of combination of military and civilian dress for men. Boys wore these suits not only during classes, but also after them. Throughout the entire time, the style of the gymnasium and student uniforms changed only slightly.

At the same time, women's education began to develop. Therefore, a student uniform for girls was required. In 1986, the first outfit for female students appeared. It was a very strict and modest outfit. It looked something like this: a woolen dress Brown below the knee. This modest dress was decorated with white collars and cuffs. Black apron as accessory. Almost an exact copy of a school dress from the Soviet era.
Before the revolution, only children from wealthy families could receive education. And the school uniform was a kind of indicator of wealth and belonging to a respected class.

With the communists coming to power in 1918, the school uniform was abolished. She was considered a bourgeois excess.

The school uniform becomes mandatory again only after the Great Patriotic War in the USSR a unified school uniform is introduced. From now on, boys were required to wear military tunics with a stand-up collar, and girls were brown woolen dresses with a black apron. It is worth noting that, in general, the school uniform for girls of the Stalin era was similar to the school uniform of tsarist Russia.

It was then that white "festive" aprons and sewn-on collars and cuffs appeared - over time, only the style changed somewhat, but not general essence forms of girls. V common days it was supposed to wear black or brown bows, with a white apron - white (even in such cases, white tights were welcome).

The boys were dressed in gray military tunics with a stand-up collar, with five buttons, with two welt pockets with flaps on the chest. The element of the school uniform was also a belt with a buckle and a cap with a leather visor, which the guys wore on the street. At the same time, symbols became an attribute among students of youth: for pioneers - a red tie, for Komsomol members and Octobrists - a badge on the chest.

1962 year the gymnasts were exchanged for gray woolen suits with four buttons. Important accessories there was a cap with a cockade and a belt with a badge. Hairstyles were strictly regulated - under a typewriter, as in the army. And the girls' uniform remained the same.

In 1973 there was a new reform of the school uniform. There was a new uniform for boys: it was blue suit made of semi-woolen fabric, decorated with an emblem and five aluminum buttons, cuffs and all the same two pockets with flaps on the chest.

For the girls, nothing changed again, and then the mother-needlewomen sewed black aprons for their beauties from fine wool, and white aprons from silk and cambric, decorating with lace.

Early 1980s a form for high school students was introduced. (This uniform began to be worn from the eighth grade). Girls from first to seventh grade wore brown dress as in the previous period. Only it was not much higher than the knees.
The boys' trousers and jacket were replaced by a trouser suit. The color of the fabric was still blue. There was also an emblem on the sleeve in blue. For girls, a blue three-piece suit was introduced in 1984, consisting of a pleated A-line skirt, a jacket with patch pockets and a vest. The skirt could be worn with either a jacket or a vest, or the whole suit at once. An obligatory addition to the school uniform, depending on the age of the student, was the Octobrist (in primary grades), pioneer (in middle grades) or Komsomol (in high grades) badges. Pioneers were also required to wear a pioneer tie.

And what about the school uniform abroad? School uniforms in other countries differs from ours: somewhere it is more conservative, and somewhere it is very fashionable and unusual. For example, in Japan, schoolgirls sport sailor suits, called "sailor-fuku" there. Their shape is the standard of teenage fashion for the whole world. Even outside the school walls, Japanese women wear what reminds them of their usual school uniform.

The most widespread is the school uniform in England and in its former colonies. This shape is a reflection of the classic business style... Each reputable educational institution in England has its own logo. And this logo is applied to the school uniform. Badges and emblems are made in its form. It is applied to ties and hats.

In France, school uniforms were in use from 1927 to 1968.

In Poland, it was canceled in 1988.

But in Germany, there has never been a school uniform. Even during the reign of the Third Reich. Only members of the Hitler Youth wore special uniforms. In some German schools, elements of the school uniform have been introduced, but the children themselves choose what uniform to wear.

IN USA each school decides for itself which clothes the students are allowed to wear. As a rule, tops that reveal the belly and low-sitting trousers are prohibited in schools. Jeans, wide pants with many pockets, T-shirts with graphics - this is what students of American schools prefer.

In most European countries also do not have a single form, everything is limited enough strict style... In many countries of the world, the question of school uniforms, like ours, remains open.

Not unanimous opinion about the benefits or harms of compulsory uniform school clothing. The history of the creation of a school uniform and its development is controversial, and does not answer the question: is it needed. But one thing is for sure school clothes should remain only school clothes.

According to media reports, Deputy Prime Minister Olga Golodets rejected the options for school uniforms proposed by the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Ministry of Education and Science. The first project turned out to be "too lobbyist", the second - "extremely vague". Meanwhile, manufacturing companies complain that due to the protracted process of coordinating the style of a uniform school uniform, they may not have time to sew clothes by the beginning of the school year.

It was not possible to find the rejected styles on the network, so Motherhood decided to give free rein to memories and admire the models of school uniforms that existed in different years, from the time of the Russian Empire to the developed USSR.

In 1834, a general system of all civilian uniforms in the Russian Empire was approved, including for secondary schools. The regulation on the gymnasium uniform for girls was approved in 1896. The form of students in secondary educational institutions was of a paramilitary character. Similar in style, their caps, greatcoats and tunics differed in color, edging, as well as buttons and emblems.

Casual dresses of female students of institutes noble girls sewn from kamlot. The preparatory school girls (five to seven years old) wore coffee or brown dresses; from eight to ten - blue or blue; from eleven to thirteen - gray. The senior schoolgirls wore white dresses. The dresses were closed ("deaf"), one-color, of the simplest cut. They wore a white apron, a white cape and, sometimes, white sleeves.

There was also a uniform in women's gymnasiums. In state grammar schools, female students wore brown dresses with high collar and aprons - black in study days and white on holidays. Dress uniform complemented by white turn-down collar and a straw hat. If there were several women's gymnasiums in the city, then, as a rule, the uniforms were of different colors.


Outerwear was also regulated: high school students wore an overcoat similar to an officer's.


In 1918, the gymnasium form of pre-revolutionary Russia was recognized as a bourgeois relic and was canceled along with many other developments in the field of education. However, over time, it was decided to return to its former image - to brown formal dresses, aprons, student jackets and turn-down collars. It happened in 1948, during the period of general “dressing up”, when department after department was dressed in uniform. The school uniform of the 1948 model actually copied the style of the uniform of the classical gymnasiums - both in color, and in cut, and in accessories.


This form existed until the end of the 1962 school year. First-graders, boys, on September 1, 1962, went to school in a new uniform - no caps with a badge, no waist belts with a massive buckle, no tunics. The uniform for girls has hardly changed.


The uniform was changed in the direction of departure from "militarism". The boys received a gray wool-blend suit - trousers and a single-breasted jacket with three black plastic buttons. A white shirt was recommended under the jacket.


For boys from the 1975-1976 school year, gray woolen trousers and jackets were replaced by trousers and jackets made of blue wool blend fabric. The cut of the jackets resembled classic denim jackets (the so-called “ denim fashion») With shoulder straps and breast pockets with brace-shaped flaps).


The jacket was fastened with aluminum buttons, reminiscent of the military in design. The buttons were of 2 diameters - smaller for elementary school students and larger for high school students. On the side of the sleeve was an emblem (chevron) made of soft plastic with a drawn open textbook and a rising sun - a symbol of enlightenment.


For high school boys, trousers and a jacket were replaced by a trouser suit. The color of the fabric was still blue. There was also an emblem on the sleeve in blue. On this emblem, in addition to the sun and an open book, there was a stylized image of an atom. Very often the emblem was cut off, as it did not look very aesthetically pleasing, especially after some time - the paint on the plastic began to wear off.


Girls from first to seventh grade wore a brown dress, as in the previous period. Only it was not much higher than the knees.


For girls, a three-piece blue suit was introduced in 1984, consisting of a trapeze skirt with pleats in the front, a jacket with patch pockets (without the sleeve emblem) and a vest. The skirt could be worn with either a jacket or a vest, or the whole suit at once. In 1988 for Leningrad, regions of Siberia and Far north it was allowed to wear blue trousers in the winter.

The compulsory wearing of a school uniform in Russia was canceled in the spring of 1994. By the decision of the president, from September 1, 2013, the compulsory school uniform was reintroduced, but the uniform style has not been approved, so for now the choice remains with the school administration.

Based on materials from sites:

The child spends most of his day at school. Health and well-being the student directly depends on what fabric the school uniform is sewn from. First of all, the hygienic indicators of the tissue composition should be taken into account.

Requirements for the quality indicators of the material

Preference should be given to natural fabrics with high hygroscopicity, good air permeability. It is important to take into account the peculiarities of children's skin, so the material must be hypoallergenic.

You should not choose too thin fabrics for sewing children's clothing, otherwise jackets and trousers will quickly wipe at the articular folds of the knees and elbows. For blouses and shirts, it is advisable to choose a material with a small amount of synthetics in the composition in order to ensure fit, wear resistance, and crease resistance. Since children spend a lot of time in a sitting position, the fabric must be resistant to deformation. Ease of caring for things is one of the main requirements, because little boys and girls quickly get their clothes dirty.

You can learn more about which fabric for a school uniform is best in the video.

The suit should fit the child well and provide complete freedom action. You should avoid buying too narrow things, business style, similar in appearance to sets for adults. In them, the child will be uncomfortable to sit and move.

Varieties of materials

In many ways, a child's desire to attend an educational institution depends on what kind of fabric parents choose for sewing a school uniform. Baby suit should be not only comfortable, but also beautiful. Most often used natural fabrics with high quality indicators:

  • velveteen;
  • twill;
  • wool;
  • cotton;
  • batiste;
  • cotton jersey with a slight addition of viscose.

Woolen and cotton fabrics

Wool and cotton are hygroscopic and meet all the requirements of Rospotrebnadzor. However, they have many disadvantages. First of all, it is high price and impractical. Cotton stretches quickly, shrinks after the first wash, and the wool will have to be dry cleaned. Ironing such materials is also a lot of hassle and requires a special approach.

Wool belongs to the varieties of suiting fabrics. Should not be bought completely natural material, it should contain 5% lycra or rayon to ensure durability. For sewing uniform suits, the indicators of synthetics in the composition of the fabric can vary from 40 to 60%. Such a composition makes the products practical, protects against deformation, and also allows you to achieve a full fit, without restricting movement. To sew a suit for a schoolchild, you can choose several variations of the material:

  • Gabardine is a dense material with a small scar that practically does not wrinkle.
  • Pikachu - great for tailoring tight-fitting suits, thanks to the diagonal weave of threads with the addition of elastane.
  • Plaid plaid - a natural fabric with the addition of synthetics.

Synthetics

It is not recommended to use artificial fabrics for the manufacture of children's trousers and, in particular, shirts at all. For example, polyester and elastane stretch perfectly and allow you to make many models that fit exactly on the figure, will not restrain movement, but can cause irritation. skin... In addition, synthetics do not allow air to pass through well, so the child will constantly sweat.

What to look for when choosing suits

Back in the USSR, a general school uniform was introduced for students, which met all quality standards. Today, unfortunately, not every manufacturer strives to sell "safe" children's clothing. Rospotrebnadzor calls on all residents of Russia to pay Special attention on the tissue composition. Any store must have quality certificates. Do not be afraid to demand them, because your child's health depends on it.


A variety of models of modern school uniforms

The shaped product should not hinder movement, because the child will spend about 8 hours a day in it:

  • the jacket must be selected according to the size of the shoulders;
  • trousers should not tightly hug the hips;
  • if you need a tie, then for kids it is better to choose models with an elastic band, they are more practical;
  • the correct choice of fabric for school uniforms will facilitate the care of products and increase their durability.

Many parents are simply outraged by the current quality of children's clothing. The high content of synthetic fibers in the composition of materials leads to overheating in summer and freezing in winter. Children often complain of itching and headaches. The first sign of poor quality material is sharp bad smell rubber.

The color scheme of the uniform is approved by the school board, so it will be different for each educational institution. It is better to sew clothes for a student yourself than to spend a large amount of money on a uniform of dubious quality. The following video will tell you about how things are going with the purchase of school uniforms in Russia and their quality.

How to check the manufacturer's bona fides

There are several rules, based on which you can protect yourself when buying:

  • Conscientious manufacturers sew the label into the seam of the product itself. Otherwise, you should refuse to purchase.
  • In addition to the composition of the canvases and recommendations for care, the label must contain the manufacturer's contact information.
  • Wet heat treatment mode II must be indicated on the label. This will be a confirmation of the naturalness of the fabrics.
  • The inner lining of the suits is made only of viscose.
