But how can teenagers dress fashionably for school? Is it even possible to do this? Of course yes. After all, even in the era of uniforms, there are various solutions that will allow you to look like schoolchildren from American films.

How to dress fashionably for school?

If you have a school uniform, then you should not break it. It's better to resort to stylish additions. For example, a belt. Buy yourself a stylish belt. And your typical suit will look new.

Take care of your shirt or blouse too. It may not be classic (white), but:

  1. Blue;
  2. Lemon;
  3. Beige;
  4. Yellow;
  5. Pink and so on.

This will not make your outfit more vulgar. But you will look much more stylish.

You can also buy a jacket with additional decor. Today, school jackets with custom collars and various emblems are sold. With them you will look quite interesting.

Mixing styles

Sometimes, to dress fashionably for school, a teenager needs to mix styles. And if your school doesn't have a school uniform, then you can wear jeans with dress shoes. It will make you look more elegant.

A girl can wear a man's jacket. This will make her a little brutal and emphasize her beauty. In official fashion there are often such combinations.

There is also the opportunity to use shoes or sneakers of a non-standard color. This way you will emphasize your rebellious image.

For schoolgirls, there are even special shorts that look like a skirt. You can buy them if you are tired of wearing standard skirts.

Style is in the details

Don’t think that you can only dress stylishly by buying yourself a bunch of things. Sometimes style manifests itself in the little things:

  • Watch;
  • Accessories;
  • Tie;
  • Shoe laces;
  • Cufflinks on sleeves, etc.

All this can be attributes of style. You just have to learn how to combine it all. And you shouldn’t try to stand out in radical ways. Gothic style or the image of a local prostitute is not a trend. Such outfits remained from the beginning of the two thousandth.

Just be yourself. Dress modestly and tastefully.

Dress yourself

To look stylish, you need to dress yourself. Don't trust your mothers or grandmothers to select clothes.

And you shouldn’t listen to your parents when they say that school is not a home for models. After all, in any situation a person should look stylish. And if you study there, this does not mean that you have to go there in a garbage bag.

Every teenager already knows how to dress fashionably. The main thing is simply not to constrain your desires. With the right approach, you will quickly develop your own school style.

For many, school is not only an educational institution, but also an opportunity to show off new clothes and trinkets. And even the shape is not a hindrance for those who, under any circumstances, want to present a very short skirt or newfangled jeans. But you need to remember that there are things that you should not wear to school.

Down with vulgarity and bad taste

Parents (mostly mothers) choose clothes for children. Before entering high school, when kids try to express their individuality on their own, everyone has the same clothes, plus or minus. A school jacket, sundress, dress, blouses, skirts, trousers, tights, ties, bows - all this is a standard schoolboy set.

Some lucky ones have the chance to change outfits every day, from branded jackets to Chanel shoes for the little fashionistas. Many parents do not skimp and dress their children in the most expensive and best. But this does not mean that such an approach is desirable in educational measures. Children must understand that they primarily go to school to learn new things and develop, and not to show off their clothes.

In high school, girls and boys try to wear a uniform as little as possible, and therefore it is replaced by a variety of work style options. For example, fishnet tights, blouses with deep necklines and skirts with equally deep slits. Some people also like stretched sweaters and frayed jeans. And it’s not a matter of money, but a lack of taste and sense of proportion.

"Not an option » for school

We have already figured out that fishnet tights are not the best option for school. You can also add multi-colored tights with a variegated flower and a rainbow pattern to them. Instead, there are many other options, among which textured tights with a less provocative pattern will be no less fashionable.

What about skirts? If you have a school uniform, then there is no need to fantasize. You just need to decide for yourself how long the school skirt should be. So that it would slightly cover the buttocks, or so that it would partially open them? Considering how fashionable high and very short shorts are now, the length of skirts (especially high-waisted ones) can also vary. But there are also options for a knee-length skirt, just above the knees, with a small slit, boring colors (black, beige, burgundy, gray, white, blue) and without sequins.

When choosing between trousers and jeans, many will prefer the latter. Firstly, they go well with very tight T-shirts, and secondly, they are comfortable. Of course, no one argues that such an outfit will cause a strong reaction among others. Especially the teachers and the school principal.

Some may recommend gluing rhinestones to your shoes, or replacing black laces with green ones. Braid colored ribbons in your hair, put on all the jewelry in the house and also take a couple of diamonds from your grandmother’s chandelier. The bag (if you're not already wearing a Winx backpack) could have a Justin Bieber or pug print on it. You could have a Jamaican flag colored tank top or a jellied blouse. This all really can happen. But not at school.

Out with boring school clothes

Many teenagers believe that school uniforms do not allow them to express their individuality. But its purpose is not to equate everyone into one category, but to show that what is important is not what you are wearing now, but what is in your head. You can and should stand out, but in moderation. Nowadays, many brands make clothes in the style of school uniforms, and given the number of shopping centers, you can always find something that the teachers will not irritate and the child will like.

How to dress for school so that it’s beautiful and the teachers don’t complain? The task is quite difficult, especially if a strict uniform is introduced into the dress code.

Always look stylish

Some 40 years ago, school uniforms were extremely laconic:

  • for girls it was a brown dress complete with black and white aprons - black for everyday use, white for special occasions;
  • a suit with a light shirt was intended for boys for all occasions.

But even then, teenagers wondered how to dress beautifully and stylishly for school. They sewed beautiful lace collars and cuffs and colored buttons onto the dresses.

Now they say that school dresses were all the same. If desired, you could choose a model with a wide or pleated skirt, and stand out from a number of girlfriends due to the length of the model.

High school girls especially loved experimenting with aprons. They sewed lush wings to them, removed the breast, and sewed lush flounces or stripes of sewing along the edge.

Now the requirements for school uniforms are more flexible. Usually a certain color scheme is proposed, an emblem that needs to be sewn on, and an approximate number of items in the wardrobe.

For example: for girls and boys three-piece suit:

  • skirt, vest, jacket;
  • trousers, vest, jacket.

It is rare to find a school where the teaching staff is categorically against girls wearing trousers or requires everyone to wear the same style of skirt.

If you put in the effort and imagination, you will always look stylish at school.

Experimenting with clothes for school

Very few educational institutions require, following the example of Western lyceums, that all students dress the same. But even in this case, it is possible to stand out.

Even though the basic things are the same, you can choose blouses and shirts depending on your taste preferences.

It is worth considering how to dress in a school where all students wear only a special school uniform.

You can stand out with blouses and shirts. Let the product be required only in gray or white. But it’s unlikely that anyone will focus on the style of the item.

You can choose a shirt with colored cuffs, an interesting insert on the yoke, and stripes on the collar. There are plenty of options. The main thing is to dress with taste.

Boys can spice up their look with a tie or colored vest. Girls – complement the strict look with bright accessories.

Some schools have introduced "vintage" clothing into fashion. Modern students appreciate the convenience of a school dress and wear it with pleasure. It can be sewn in the style that best emphasizes the dignity of the figure.

If everyone at school does not need to wear the same sets, but only the color of the uniform and silhouette are agreed upon, then you can experiment with models. Jeans with uniform jackets and knitted vests will look cool on boys, and skirts of various styles on girls.

Skirts are well enlivened by decorative details: belts, pockets.

Things for younger students

The question of how to dress nicely for school arises not only for children, but also for their parents. I want the child to look fashionable, and his outfit will not break the budget.


The cost of a wardrobe depends on how old the child is. It’s easier with kids: what mom bought is what they’ll wear.

Boys are generally far from such issues as creating their own image, while girls rejoice in lush bows.

Parents of primary school children pay more attention to ensuring that their children’s clothes are comfortable and do not lose their appearance after washing - neat seven-year-olds are rare.

How to dress elementary school children correctly for school?

Requirements for children's clothing for 6-9 year olds:

  • Things should be comfortable and appealing to children;
  • Products must be made from natural fabrics and not cause skin irritation. It must be taken into account that the child will have to sit in the uniform for several hours. During this time he may sweat;
  • No complicated styles or tricky fasteners. If a button comes undone or you have to change clothes for physical education, the child should be able to undress and dress himself.

Children who are dressed comfortably are focused on knowledge and their academic performance is higher. They don’t fiddle with sliding trousers or chew the long cuffs of fashionable blouses. When choosing clothes for junior schoolchildren the main focus need to pay attention to convenience.

School suit for a teenager

How can a teenager dress for school so that he is at the same time dressed appropriately, comfortably, and can – with the help of clothes – emphasize his individual status?

Boys:

  • If a boy prefers classics, then the ideal option for him would be a classic suit in the “right” uniform color. He will be able to choose shirts according to his taste - his favorite colors and styles;
  • Most modern boys prefer a sporty style. Ideal for school: jeans, T-shirt, trowel. Now you can choose jeans of the color required by the school dress code. Brown, black, blue and gray jeans are always on sale;
  • How is it possible for a teenager who considers himself to be a member of some subculture to dress cool for school? It's very simple. You will have to “work” with a shirt, T-shirt, bag and shoes. You can tell that the young man is a rocker by his rough boots with thick soles, his belt, and his coolly painted bag. And you won’t have to shock the teaching staff with your wild appearance.

Girls:

Girls mature earlier than boys, and their first feelings flare up during their school years. Teenage girls want to be attractive to their peers.

How should they dress to maintain a business school style and look beautiful at the same time?

  • If the school uniform is: a skirt, jacket, vest, then you can not only wear blouses of different colors and styles, but also model your own image by tucking and straightening the blouse;
  • You shouldn’t get carried away and cut off your skirt, as they say - to “nothing”;
  • The permissible length for a schoolgirl is a palm above the knees. But you can find a skirt style that will make you look stylish;
  • A jacket or school sundress can be enlivened with a belt, bows and buckles, a jacket can be sewn in the right color, but with an asymmetrical fastener;
  • If a girl prefers a sporty style, and trousers or jeans are not allowed by school regulations, then to match the look, it is enough to choose a skirt reminiscent of a tennis player’s skirt and choose a short jacket;
  • The chosen image will be complemented by hairpins, hoops, and emblems on the uniform.

Each girl decides for herself how to dress beautifully and fashionably for school. It is advisable that parents meet her halfway and help her form the school ensemble correctly.

When purchasing clothes for teenagers, you need to pay attention to the quality of the product. Natural fabric is preferable in blouses and shirts; it is hygroscopic and does not lose its appearance when washed.

After the summer holidays, the children have long been at their desks, and I remembered that earlier I started writing a note about how to prepare for school. I always liked the time on the eve of a wonderful holiday, when all the children go to school after their summer holidays. And like many mothers, I think about how to choose clothes for their children. Since at my children’s school there is not even a rule about school uniforms, but a certain dress code, all schoolchildren from the first to the eleventh grade adhere to it.

Why did I remember this note? Today I was talking with a friend and we were discussing outerwear for our schoolchildren. She sent me this link, there is a cashmere coat that she bought for the fall for her twin girls, and now she is looking for something for the winter, the cold is very soon. And we couldn’t help but touch the school clothes. We discussed the importance and needs, and after the conversation I remembered this note. I thought that if I didn’t publish it now, it would simply get lost among other notes. And the topic is relevant - how to properly dress a schoolchild so that his outfit not only complies with school rules, but also pleases the child himself? We'll talk about this today.

What to wear for a girl

1. School uniform

A young lady's school suit must comply not only with the rules of the dress code, but also with the canons of femininity. Clothes should be made from high-quality fabric, ideally suit the girl in size and style, taking into account all the features of the figure. An excess of guipure, lace, velvet and satin, and variegated colors are inappropriate in a school uniform.

A formal school suit can be transformed by pairing it with an unusual blouse, bolero or tie of the appropriate color and fabric texture.

2. School sundress

A school sundress, like a school uniform, can look interesting and fashionable. To do this, you can experiment with knee socks and blouses, which can be decorated with strips of lace, bows, studs or zippers.

In addition, the look can be complemented with a tie, knitted cardigan or sweater in the cold season.

In addition to school sundresses and suits, a girl can also add a couple of beautiful dresses to her wardrobe. For the school dress code, dresses in black, gray, dark green, burgundy or purple are suitable. Dresses with checkered patterns, small polka dots or vertical stripes look no less interesting. They look quite strict, but at the same time, such a pattern is always in fashion.

4. Girlish accessories

Every schoolgirl should have a lot of jewelry and accessories in stock: bows, removable collars, ties, elastic bands, hairpins, etc. Such elements will help diversify even the most unsightly school uniform.

An integral element of any look are tights or knee socks. Knee socks look beautiful on schoolgirls right up to graduation. In high school, they can be combined with a pleated skirt, as Japanese schoolgirls do.

Another important detail of a schoolgirl’s image is her hairstyle. Hairstyles for elementary school students should be easy to do and not take up much time in the morning when the girl gets ready for school. The most successful hairstyles for elementary school girls: high ponytail, fishtail braid, French braid.

What to wear for a boy

1. Formal suit

The first thing that should be in every schoolchild's wardrobe is a school uniform. It is not at all necessary to buy a suit consisting of five or six items. Trousers and a jacket of the same style and color are enough, which can be combined with different shirts, vests, ties, etc.

2. Shirts

At least five pieces in different colors for different seasons, with short and long sleeves. They should be combined with any variation of a formal suit and ties if the boy wears them.

A white or gray shirt will go well with a tie of almost any color: from classic black to dark green or burgundy. No less popular are shirts in blue, brown and dark green. Last school year, checkered shirts became especially popular: black and white, black and red, blue or green.

3. Half-shirts, cardigans and vests

These wardrobe items are especially good in winter: they are warm, soft, comfortable and correspond to both the school dress code and modern fashion. In addition, they can be combined with classic trousers and dark jeans. Both options will look fashionable and mature.

4. Accessories

An equally important part of a student’s wardrobe are accessories and a school bag/briefcase.

For a boy, wonderful accessories would be “adult” watches, several bow ties, warm scarves in winter, gloves and belts. These “little things” do not distract the attention of other children in class, but create a unique fashionable look.

How to diversify a schoolchild's outfit

Interesting color combinations: dark blue and beige, dark green and red, purple, gray stripes. There are quite a lot of colors that match the dress code, so feel free to experiment.

A variety of fabrics consisting of: viscose, wool, nitron cotton, lavsan, polyester.

Interesting designs and colors: checkered, small polka dots, stripes, “pockmarked” colors. Of course, you shouldn’t use clothes with flowers, stars and bright designs in a schoolchild’s basic wardrobe, which will distract children from the educational process. But patterns of muted colors will not only help make a student’s outfit more interesting, but will also not contradict the established dress code.

Don't forget the main rule: clothes should not only be comfortable and formal, but also fashionable. And with our simple tips, choosing an outfit for a schoolchild will not be difficult for you.
