Girl In School Uniform Outfit

By country
Argentina
White smocks are the most widely known school uniforms of public schools in Argentina. This appears to be a reflection of the Italian influence since Argentina was one of the major destinations for Italian immigrants in the late 19th and early 20th century. Several European countries in the late 19th century, especially France and Italy, instituted smocks as a school uniform. They were seen as a way of covering the differences in the clothing of children so that poor children would not be embarrassed by their poor clothing. The children in state schools do not require formal uniforms and children wear their own clothes under their smocks. However, many private schools have formal school uniforms; most of them have adopted English-style school uniforms.
