    I had to wear a shitty uniform at school lol.

    Very common outside of the USA I think. I don't know really. Basically every school in South Africa, you wear a uniform

        Do they also fit like shit over there? And do they make you wear ties?

        I had to wear a tie year round at high school. Summer was horrendous

          Depends, but yes, the more expensive schools generally have better fitting but stupider uniforms like straw boaters.

            straw boaters.

            Why did you have to remind me of the existence of these things, I had to wear on certain occasions

              On the plus side, they were so impractical they introduced me to collecting 19th century hatpins. Love to have 9 inches of dagger in my hair.

            These kinds of school uniforms were the best and should be the standard. I'm lucky that I never went to a school that made you wear blazers, ties, stupid hats etc. I think I would have hated school so much more simply from wearing that shit. The cool thing about those uniforms was how easy it was to get second hand/hand-me-downs clothes. Made it much easier to fit in.

          Private schools make you wear ties, public schools have a polo shirt, and pants/skirts that have to be a colour, and closed shoes.

            That sounds alright. In South Africa it's basically a button up short sleeved shirt and shorts with long socks and leather shoes in the summer, and in winter a long sleeved shirt and pants, with some jackets or blazers and ties. Girls get dresses and skirts, with a different one for summer and winter, along with thick stockings for the winter.

            The more traditional schools add more silly bullshit.
