How to dress stylishly for school: general guidelines. Where to dress your child for school inexpensively

The uniform has long been not an obligatory attribute of the educational institution, but, despite this, the school is still an official institution and assumes a certain dress code. However, not everyone wants to comply with it. And if with younger children it is much easier - kids, as a rule, trust the taste of their parents, then teenagers often rebel against the established rules and wear whatever they want to school. This article will look at how to dress for school for boys and girls in order to look fashionable and stylish, while not violating the regulations of the educational institution.

What you should never wear to school

At the age of 13, adolescents are already beginning to think about their attractiveness to the opposite sex and seek to emphasize their individuality with the help of clothes. However, there are some outfits that don't belong in school. These include:

  1. transparent and translucent blouses and shirts;
  2. T-shirts with the image of your favorite movie characters, musicians or singers;
  3. short shorts and miniskirts;
  4. leggings and leggings;
  5. ripped jeans;
  6. low-waist trousers;
  7. tracksuits.

These wardrobe items may look fashionable and beautiful, but it is better to save them for walks or informal parties with friends. And you should learn at school and a business style is the best way to contribute to this process.


How to dress for school if you have a uniform

A strict school uniform is not a reason for frustration. There are many ways to dress fashionably for school without breaking the rules of the school. For example, a shirt can be not only white, but also beige, blue, pale pink and other soft colors.

If the school charter requires a mandatory combination of white top and black bottom, you can experiment (in moderation) with the style of a blouse or shirt. In particular, buttons in a contrasting color, a turn-down collar, and colored cuffs will revive the boring look.

Correctly selected accessories will also add zest. For girls, it can be a variety of hair ornaments; boys can choose a stylish belt or cufflinks.

How to dress for school boy

Despite the persistent rejection of school uniforms by adolescents, it has certain advantages: it smooths out social inequality and competition "for the quality" of clothing. Besides, you don't have to think about what to wear every day. And how should a teenager dress for school if there are no certain rules, but you need to look presentable and formal?

  • If a guy prefers a strict style of clothing, then classic dark-colored trousers would be the ideal option. The shirt can be chosen in any style and shade. In cool weather, a jacket or a knitted sleeveless jacket to match the trousers will complement the look. Such an ensemble can also be worn for an exam at school to demonstrate your composure and readiness for work;
  • Lovers of a more informal style can safely wear jeans to school. The modern lineup is represented by denim trousers of various colors and styles. You can easily find jeans that match your school dress code. As a top, either a simple plain or plaid shirt, or a knitted sweater, half-over or cardigan are suitable here.

How to dress for school girl

It is believed that girls grow up earlier than boys. Whether this is so, it is difficult to say, but at the age of 12, young ladies already pay attention to their appearance and show a desire to stand out from the crowd. This is probably why it is much more difficult for them to decide on the choice of clothes for school everyday life, especially if the educational institution does not provide for a strict uniform.

The following wardrobe items will help a girl to be fashionable at school:

  • The dress

A win-win option for a school look would be a knee-length sheath dress or one palm above. At the same time, it is not at all necessary that it be dark in color; it is quite permissible to wear an outfit in gentle pastel colors, as well as a dress with polka dots or stripes.

Another stylish solution for going to school is a sundress. It can be worn as a stand-alone outfit or combined with a blouse, sweater or turtleneck.

This is generally a universal thing with which you can create many stylish ensembles. Depending on the figure and taste preferences, you can choose a classic pencil skirt or models like the sun. High-waisted skirts are in fashion. You can wear anything with this wardrobe item: shirts, blouses, sweaters, turtlenecks.

  • Pants

Particular attention should be paid to classic models of trousers with arrows. This style looks elegant and strict at the same time.

For a more informal look, try tight, but not tight, dark trousers. And lovers of sports style may well wear breeches in soft colors to school.

  • Vest

A vest is not only a stylish wardrobe item, but also a great alternative to a boring blazer or jacket. To create a harmonious school ensemble, it is important that the vest matches the color of the trousers or skirt.

It is very important to instill a taste and a sense of beauty from childhood - everyone knows this. However, not everyone knows and understands that everything starts with the wardrobe. Today Daria Sudieva will tell you how to instill taste in children and where to start.

Down with old stuff, the way to everything clean and new!

When the little lady begins to wear the plaid shirts of her older brother, when the little boy goes out to play in the yard in whatever he wants, the excuse is that he will get dirty anyway. That's when get women stuck in jeans for decades and men's cut shirts, and men who absolutely do not care the soup has dried on their sleeves and whether the pants were selected according to the size. And the worst thing is what exactly from here their problems begin in personal life too, and in a career. They meet, whatever one may say, by their clothes.

So today I would like to say ... no, scream, how important is what we dress our children... Psychologists say that the environment shapes a person. And just wardrobe occupies in this environment far from the last place.

From September to May, that is, most of the year, the child dresses for school every morning. Let's think about it, because school is that formal, serious environment. This is some years of rehearsal before adulthood and the ability to dress appropriately for the circumstances.

Now, of course, I would like to talk about women in tight low-cut leopard dresses that they wear early in the morning to the office, or about programmers who consider it quite normal to come to work in rubber pantolets and shorts ... but I will not.

I'd rather tell you about clothes for school, so that neither about your daughter, nor about your son will never be said after 20 years "oh, this that vulgarly dressed aunt from the third floor" or "oh, so this is our sloppy employee, he has funny shorts, sure!".

11 school wardrobe rules

So let's start:

Rule 1. Regardless of whether your school has a strict dress code or simply requires tidiness, it is important that the child was dressed well and stylishly... After all, then the attitude towards him will be appropriate, and the impression he will make is the right one. Especially this relevant for first graders, those who are moving from elementary school to high school and, of course, for high school students.

Rule 2.Children's clothing (school uniform)should be comfortable and sized... You can't argue with that! The child should feel comfortable in it. There should be no embarrassment or shame about your suit or dress.

I understand that there are different situations in life, and different financial situation - but still, if possible,it is not necessary to buy jackets, jackets, suits for growth for a child.

In Soviet times, everyone bought for this very growth. And what have we got now? Men, with rare exceptions, fundamentally determine their size and buy trousers and jackets that just hang out on them, "hang". And women, who all the time looking in the mirror, doubt whether their new blouse is the right size for them. And about the feeling of inconvenience and awkwardness that a teenager experiences when his clothes are too large for him and he doesn’t want to write ...

Rule 3. Clothing should be predominantly from natural materials... As for blouses and shirts, the best is made entirely of cotton or viscose... The fabric for children's suits and school uniforms must contain natural materials not less than 55%... It is better if it is of high quality rather fine wool.

Rule 4.Buy clothesconsidering the child's opinion... Respect his preferences, because the little person is already gravitating towards a certain style. Explain from childhood why in one case or another you are advised to wear different clothes.

Rule 5.Clothes, hairstyle and accessoriesmust be age appropriate... Themed holidays can be a rare exception. However, there can be no exceptions for going to school.

Rule 6. For school clothes, it is best to choose muted dark colors... I would recommend do not use black... Especially for young gentlemen.

It will be too solemn (especially in combination with a white shirt), elegant. And school days are a daily work option. Better to prefer various shades of gray or blue... If you want to add a "twist" pay attention on a business cage or non-contrast stripe.

These patterns on fabric are appropriate and interesting. Leave bright juicy colors for extracurricular and festive wardrobe.

And another small color detail: pink barbie or piggy pink for school should have already bored your young lady. And if not - try to offer her ash pink... For shirts, in addition to classic white, you can use others bleached muted shades: creamy, ice blue, mint, etc.

Rule 7. Boys - pants, girls - skirts and dresses! I would recommend so. Down with jeans- these are clothes for relaxation, walking, but not for study. Does your school know about this? What's the difference what others do - let your son and daughter look right.

Choose stylish, current cut trousers, a shirt and a cardigan for your son, and for your daughter a perfectly fitting dress or skirt in combination with a youth cut jacket. This will be that golden mean if it is not customary in your school to look appropriate. Perhaps, this will serve as an example to others, and everything will fall into place.

Rule 8.Not worth carrying to schooloverly short skirts(even to very young students) and even more so to complement them with fishnet tights. You can pick uptights by color to the skirt or dress.

Since childhood a lady must distinguish between vulgarity and eleganceknow the difference between a business and a festive setting. After all, on the anniversary of their beloved grandfather and on the math test, they wear completely different skirts and even more so different tights.

Be carefulto the choice of the first tieand bow ties for boys, because this tie, and how mom and dad helped to pick it up, will be remembered for a long time.

Rule 9. Give preference smooth leather shoes and boots, patent black shoes look out of place even on an eight-year-old girl.

Rule 10.Don't let wearsneakers to school... Do not make excuses that physical education is on schedule today. From childhood, a boy (and even more so a girl!) Must understand thatplace for sneakers only in the gym... These shoes are for sports use only.

Do not allow wearing unsuitable shoes with dress pants, do not think that now they are small, do not understand, but for the prom we will buy the "right" shoes. Alreadytaste is forming now, already now they absorb and understand everything.

Rule 11. Do not use for hairstyles hairpins, studded with rhinestones and unnecessarily shiny. And, of course, this kind of decor, even more so should not be on clothes. Leave these accessories for the holidays, or at least don't wear them for school. Girls grow up - and hairpins with rhinestones, unfortunately, remain ... A good option can be hairpins to match the hair, ribbons and bows, colors that resonate with clothes.

All in our hands. Every day of life is unique and inimitable, let's be proud of our children, their appearance and success!

The first of September is approaching and many mothers are now facing a dilemma of how to dress a child fashionably, beautifully and practically, without deviating from school rules. A multitude of clothing offers for school, on the one hand, gives a lot of opportunities for experimentation, on the other hand, creates a kind of chaos in understanding what is really needed. Image stylist Yulia Koroleva will tell the readers of "Signorina" how to dress a child for school.

Fortunately (or unfortunately), the times when a uniform for all school uniforms began to be sold at the end of August are over. Today's student is individual! He is slightly limited by the dress code of the school and, sometimes, by the options of the parents.

Today I will try to systematize the concepts of "beautiful" and "appropriate" and give some basic recommendations that (I hope) will help you choose a comfortable and effective costume for your students.

BOYS ...

In addition to the formal attire in which he starts the school year, additional trousers are required. It is better if they are warmer (for the cold season) and stylistically match the jacket of the main suit. For example, black trousers with a dark gray pinstriped jacket.

More often we still choose gloomy colors, although color combinations: blue + beige, cherry + green, purple + light green are no less suitable for a classic ensemble.

Shirts, let there be at least 5, different colors. Each of them should be combined with a suit (any variation of it) and ties (if any).

It doesn't make sense to buy one burgundy tie and wear it all year round with all gray and blue non-stained shirts. The very solemn aristocratic essence of the tie is lost in such an ensemble. Also inappropriate is a tie with sandals shod under trousers. Sandals are generally inappropriate in a school suit. If you want your feet to breathe, look for perforated leather shoes.

An option when the school has a corporate piece of clothing, often a jacket or vest. It is even easier here - the choice of all other details of clothing should be based on it. The color, style and texture of shirts, ties and trousers must match the approved uniform. It will be interesting to choose a bottom made of printed fabric for a plain top, for example, in a cage. To create a completely "suit", you can pick up a bow tie from the same checkered fabric - now it is very important.

Despite the fact that the schoolboy's clothes must look strictly - do not limit it to a classic business suit - especially since during recess and after physical education this suit looks little like a business suit. Knitted vests and cardigans, pullovers will be good. In a word, everything that matches the smart casual style of an adult man is good for a student.

Do not deprive the student of accessories: an "adult" watch, a leather belt, a classic geometric satchel ... style in details! ..

FOR GIRLS ...

A young lady's costume, even a school one, must meet all the canons of femininity. Avoid clothing made of coarse, low-quality wool, products that fit poorly, and prevailing non-marking colors. In the same way, an excess of guipure, velvet, satin is not appropriate at every school event. The easiest way to choose a suit is a skirt + a jacket (vest) and to match it with blouses, bodlons, cardigans and boleros of the appropriate styles and colors.

The school sundress is a little more restrictive - the whole year the girl will look monotonous, except for cold days, when sweaters will be worn on top.

I recommend looking at the uniforms of foreign countries. For them, it is not such a new experience and therefore its directions are very diverse. I don't even consider it shameful to copy European bows, for example, for schoolchildren.

Do not ignore ready-made clothes of Ukrainian (Russian) manufacturers and designers. It looks much more spectacular than 10 years ago, and is ready to compete with imported counterparts.

Any dress that is inactive in color and decor can be school dress if there is no dress code. Wearing it with detachable collars in the spirit of Soviet schoolgirls or pre-revolutionary schoolgirls is the latest trend.

It's good if you have a variety of selections of bows, tights and knee-highs and you know how to combine all this. The play of colors and textures can pleasantly diversify a strict school uniform.

Avoid such "fatal" combinations: mini-skirt + fishnet tights + patent leather shoes - such an outfit makes a little (and even a big) girl vulgar.

It is not necessary to always wear white tights, their color can repeat the bottom part of the garment or overlap with accessories. Knee-highs look great on schoolgirls right up to the graduation class. An important nuance - at a more mature age, they continue to be worn complete with a pleated skirt or a plaid sundress - imitating the style of Japanese schoolgirls.

The student's hairstyle should look great and neat and not take much time in the morning. Today on the Internet there is a sea of ​​similar hairstyles that are easy to perform. You can ask the hairdresser to teach you how to make original hairstyles or the mother of the girl whose hairstyles you like.

Important! A girl's school hairstyle should be appropriate for her age and event. The sexy curls on the 1st graders on September 1st look ridiculous. Do not overuse shiny hair accessories on a daily basis. Leave them for the party and extracurricular life.

Decorations that are permissible for a student: watches, discreet earrings, hairpins to match the hair, bows, ribbons in the hair and on the suit, tie, frill, detachable collars.

I wish you pleasant experiments!

Stay real!


Getting your child to school is not easy. We must not forget about textbooks, notebooks, pencils. But in the first place is the student's uniform. How much does it cost to dress a child to school in 2016?

In terms of student uniforms, schools are divided into two types: an educational institution in which a certain type of uniform is sewn, and a school where parents must assemble their child themselves and prepare not only textbooks for him, but also a uniform.

Let's deal with the second option, since if the school sews the form itself to order, the price can be completely different.

The content of the article:

How to inexpensively dress your child for school?

We note right away that in our article we are considering the prices of a children's clothing store in the capital. If the uniform is bought on the market or in the regions, then the final price of a set of clothes will be 2-3 thousand rubles lower.

Another way to economically dress your child for school is to make purchases in online stores, monitoring promotions and discounts. Promo codes from Gdekod.ru and other similar services that provide solid discounts in children's clothing stores can be useful.

You can save money - there are probably friends and acquaintances who are good at using a sewing machine. Just buy the right fabric and voila! Several thousand rubles will not leave your pocket. When buying a form, you should not rush, you need to go around several stores and choose the one in which the price and quality are in a good ratio.

Dressing the girl for school

Option number 1

A set of school uniforms for a girl usually includes:

  • Sundress
  • Blouse for a celebration
  • Short sleeve blouse
  • Long sleeve blouse
  • Tights

The sundress has a cost of about 1800-2000 rubles. Long-sleeved blouses (and you need to buy a pair of them) will come out at 1300-1400 rubles apiece. A short-sleeved blouse will cost 1100-1200 rubles, and blouses for a celebration (it is also preferable to purchase two of them) will cost 1400-1600 rubles for one. Tights (and for the academic year they need at least five pairs) will cost 250-270 rubles per pair.

If you add everything up, you get an amount approximately equal to 8150-10550 rubles. But clothes are needed not only for classes. For physical education, you also need to buy a tracksuit. It will cost:

  • Suit - 1700-1900 rubles
  • A pair of T-shirts - 700-800 rubles
  • Gym shoes - 600-800 rubles.

As a result, the amount for the purchase of a suit for sports is 3000-3500 rubles.

Option number 2

  • Sundress 1300-1500 rubles
  • Long sleeve blouse 1500 rubles
  • Blouse with short sleeves (2 pieces) 1000-1200
  • Turtleneck 1700-1900 rubles

The total cost is 6500-7300. If the set is supplemented with tights, then you can add about a thousand more rubles.

Training uniform for a boy

Option number 1

The simplest type of training suit consists of:

  • Pants (preferably a pair)
  • Vest
  • Jumper
  • Shirt (you need to purchase at least three of them for the academic year)
  • Boots

Now let's calculate the cost. Two pairs of trousers will cost 1900-2000 rubles, a vest can be found for 500-700 rubles, a jumper will have a price of about 600-800 rubles, three shirts will cost 1500-1800 rubles, and 2700-3000 rubles will have to be paid for boots.

The total cost is 7200-8300 rubles.

The amount that will have to be paid for a set of clothes for physical education will be approximately the same as for girls: about 3000-3500 rubles.

Option number 2

A three-piece suit is the standard of style even for children. It looks very rich, but it also costs more than the previous version.

A suit will cost 3,300-4,000 rubles, shirts (of which you need at least five pieces) for 500-700 rubles, a tie for 300-600 rubles. The boots will cost about 2700-3000 rubles. The total is 8,800-11,100 rubles. Yes, an expensive option, but the child will look his best.

For high school students, you can add a couple of thousand rubles to the total cost - just at this price the clothes for the academic year will be pulled.

Now you roughly know how much it costs to dress a child for school in a metropolitan store and can plan a family budget taking into account these costs.

During my school youth it was customary to wear a uniform. I still remember those creepy brown dresses and awful black aprons, as well as inconceivable collars and sleeves. Only when I entered the 7th grade was this terrible duty removed from us. And the era of anarchy came - rubber jeans, bright leggings and Chinese long T-shirts. I must say that both were extreme.

Today the Stylish Thing website will tell you how to dress stylishly for school without going over the edge.

Modern canons of school style

Why was the idea of ​​returning to school uniforms repeatedly raised by our politicians? Not only because they have absolutely nothing else to do. The absence of strict rules and canons led to complete confusion and vacillation on the issue of school style.

In addition, the issues of social inequality have suddenly become sharply aggravated. If earlier everyone dressed the same (equally badly), then with the abolition of the school uniform, the simplest instrument of competition appeared - with the help of clothes.

No, of course, we do not believe that all children must be dressed according to the principle of "white top - black bottom". School is still not Sberbank. However, the school is an official institution, whatever one may say. That's why adhere to certain clothing standards going into it is worth it.

- The classics are always relevant. And for schoolchildren too. Jackets, trousers and skirts were, are and will be the most suitable clothing for official events (to which lessons can be conventionally included). And many schoolchildren in business clothes are attracted by the fact that they allow them to look a little more mature.

Of course, strict gray, brown and black suits look a little boring, and youth does not tolerate this. Then bright accessories will come to the rescue.

- The key to a variety of images is the presence of a large number of turtlenecks, T-shirts, blouses and shirts. They can be combined with a variety of things and look fresh and new every day.

- A great alternative to a business jacket - a vest. In it, the child will be comfortable, light, not hot and not cold. At the same time, he looks quite strict, but not too formal.

- A sundress is a practical solution for every day, thanks to which you can create a lot of wonderful sets. It can be worn as an independent product, combined with jackets, blouses, shirts, T-shirts, turtlenecks. Sundresses always look very stylish, relevant and feminine.

- For the cool season, you should get cardigans and jumpers.

- A schoolgirl's wardrobe should certainly be enriched with several practical dress models - sweater dresses, a simple plaid preppy dress, a sheath dress, a robe or a trapeze.

- Jeans are traditional clothes for schoolchildren, and you can't get away from them. And you don't need to. You just have to choose a model of jeans so that the school class does not look like a team of dock workers. Jeans should be of a classic color and silhouette, without the abuse of rhinestones, appliqués, and even more so holes - these models should be left for a disco or a party.

- Don't underestimate the importance of sleeveless jackets in school wardrobe. Knitted sleeveless jackets are a "unisex" thing that helps to create cozy and comfortable looks.

- If your child is a steady fan of sports style, then you can build it on the basis of jeans, sweatshirts, T-shirts, turtlenecks and comfortable shoes (sneakers, sneakers, moccasins). Just do not overuse purely sports paraphernalia. Leave tracksuits and sneakers for physical education lessons. Alternatively, perhaps your child will be carried away by the military style.

In general, American students and schoolchildren prefer standard sports uniforms - jeans, sneakers, T-shirts. In it, they go not only to school, but also on dates, parties, walks. However, Americans can hardly be called trendsetters, so this is hardly the case when they should be imitated.

School accessories

It is worth mentioning this separately - after all, it is in this field that schoolchildren have where to roam.

By far the most typical school accessory is a bag or briefcase. The difficulty is that a student, as a rule, does not have too many of them, but they should be suitable for everything. Therefore, it is advisable to choose combinatorial universal model... In this case, one should not forget about posture. Backpacks provide an even distribution of the load on the shoulders, therefore they are considered the most suitable bag for schoolchildren. In any case, make sure that the weight of the bag itself is minimal.

Original belts, cute hairpins, hoops, headbands - all this allows you to make the image brighter and more individualized.

Don't forget about practical accessories - hats, scarves.

As you can see, school fashion canons today are quite democratic and allow any child to dress tastefully, stylishly, and not lose their individuality.
