Girl In School Uniform Outfit

Being allowed to wear long trousers as part of the uniform, rather than shorts, often marks the transition from junior to senior classes. At some schools, seniors are allowed to wear non uniform clothing, known colloquially as "mufti". Other students can wear non-uniform clothing on selected days of the school year in lieu of a donation to charity.
During the 1980s and 1990s there was a tendency for the traditional uniform to be replaced by cheaper and more 'modern' options: polo shirts, polar fleece tops, or a complete doing away with uniforms in favour of mufti. This trend seems to have been reversed in recent years and only a small number of secondary schools now do not have uniforms at all. Intermediate schools usually provide the option of skirts or culottes for girls and sometimes shorts while boys will wear shorts. Also bike shorts or tights are sometimes worn under girls' skirts and dresses. At high school girls will usually wear culottes, skirts or pants and boys will wear shorts or pants. Some girls' schools also have navy blue skirts and open necked white blouses long in winter and short in summer, as the skirts are not allowed higher than below the knee; the skirts also have splits up the centre at the back. Year 13 secondary school leavers often purchase special leavers jerseys in the school colour which include the students name and a significant number or nickname. Most secondary schools operate a second hand uniform shop at the start of each year. It is a tradition in many school for pupils to sign a leavers blouse or shirt on the last day at school.
