What do boys wear over Blazers during the winter in schools that insist on Blazers being worn at all times?

Nothing, ds would rather freeze to death than wear anything else over the top,

Another one saying this ^

Gloves and a scarf maybe for the girls but it's astonishing how teens who spend their lives holed up under a duvet can survive arctic temperatures without a coat - must be all the attitude that keeps them warm

Eldest teen will wear his Superdry coat when really cold, or will wear thermals under school shirt. Youngest son doesn't wear anything. Both will wear coats if really chucking it down.

Aha I see. Spain. Summer uniforms would make more sense here too.

Not sure about that, we have a summer uniform which is worn from 3rd May to the end of summer term and from the start of autumn term until 11th October. But we are in Spain.

But surely after May time, blazers are totally unnecessary in the heat. When you're used to wearing a single shirt/blouse or top, why would you then wear a long sleeved, u breathable blazer to school or in the corridors etc? Bonkers.

I am a teacher in a school with blazers. On the whole, students come into the room, put down their books, remove their blazer and sit down. This is fine with me. On rare occasions, students come in a bit rudely, maybe continuing a corridor conversation or generally being a bit out of learning mode, and I will then say sarcastically, "Yes, you MAY take off your blazer", with a bit of an eye-roll (yes, I can be as childish as them haha). Then I remind them to put them on before they leave and, apart from a few girls who would rather do anything than wear their blazer, they do so without any fuss and troop off.

Wearing them in the corridors is another matter, though. Boys never seem to be a problem, but girls...

That's what I'm hoping......they were being a bit OTT about though.

Verbena37 In practice, it would be highly unlikely that a classroom teacher would refuse a student permission to remove his or her blazer.

Our secondary is just introducing stupid blazers. The HT said they had to wear them all the time and if they wanted to remove them in the heat, they'd have to ask permission and the teacher would decide whether they could .

So I wrote to the HT and said that my children needed to remove their blazer they would. Yes, they might ask but if they are ever refused, I said I'd be fuming. A teacher cannot tell hw warm another person is and at work, staff do not have to ask permission to remove items of clothing due to changes in temperature. The armed forces don't even have 'summer dress' anymore.

I actually hate blazers, not because they don't look smart (I'm sure they do) but because when you're wanting kids to get on and do work, they really don't need an uncomfortable, polyester blazer getting in the way. I'd have thought that for science, they'd have to remove them.

I was cross that a blazer means in winter you have to buy another coat to go over the blazer. Another expense!

Mine only wore their blazer with/without a school jumper underneath in Y7. No coat at all.

Now DS either wears a hoodie under or puts his blazer in his bag and wears a puffer/other sports thing. If he takes his blazer

DD used to do the same.

Teenagers don't wear coats. I have no idea why this is because they are always cold. And wet. They seem to start wearing coats again at about 20.

DS wore a navy pea coat through Y10 and 11, and is looking for the next one already............ Sherlock Holmes style.

We bought from SGS Official Uniform Shop a 3 in 1 black coat but they also have foldable waterproof Macs.

I know you're asking about boys, but my DD said she'd wear a coat during the first year if it was black and in all fairness she did wear it. Didn't want a coat after that as school bags are very heavy. She does have a pack-a-mac and umbrella, and there are times when she's needed them. Pack-a-mac and hoodies are fairly popular here among boys and girls, but some don't use anything else and do get soaked through to the skin.

Nothing, ds would rather freeze to death than wear anything else over the top, no idea why, but his reaction to me suggesting a coat is similar to if I suggested him wearing fancy dress for the day.
Same here! Do not waste money on a coat
You cld get a cag for when it is raining.
The comp I teach in insists that DC wear blazers all the time. I take pity on them on hot days an tell them to take them off in the classroom, but they have to wear them in the corridors etc and to and from school.
My own DC school (famous old public school) only expects the to wear blazers occasionally for formal events, and forbids them form wearing them outside school (mugging risk) - the boys keep them in their lockers.

At our school most of the boys wear coats over their blazers. Not all of them have lockers, so carry them round with them all day. The coats range from Superdry to cagoules and everything in between.The majority of the comments on this thread say no one wears coats but it might not be true for your school. Pupils won't need coats when they go back in September so there is time to look and ask older pupils.

a jumper if absolutely necessary. A base layer if sub zero but ds would have to move to Siberia before he'd consider breaking ranks and wearing anything over his blazer!

DS has just finished yr 7 and has never worn a coat. I bought a jumper but he won't wear it, I won't buy another! No lockers available. The school says all children wearing uniform are ambassadors for the school and must behave well; detentions are given for poor behaviour outside the school premises. No idea whether anyone has challenged this. School deals extremely effectively with bad behaviour outside school, and inside too. Blazers must be worn in school, and on the way in and the way home. Most teachers let kids take blazers off in class.

Ds wears a jumper underneath, and down gilet on top. The gilet crumples down to a small size (uniqlo) and he shoves it into his rucksack.

A blazer is a coat.Mine used to just wear a fleece for uniform. If they ever took a coat it was a problem because there was nowhere to leave it and they weren't allowed to have them hung on back of chair

DS has always worn a coat and most do at his school. He currently has a black pea coat over his suit. When younger he had a 3 in 1 style from an outdoor shop bought one size larger to fit over his blazer.

Nothing..shirt,pullover and blazer.....kids don't wear coats past 11 yrs old.

Y7 he'd wear a vneck jumper underneath but never since, he's too cool for modern comforts!!

i got ds a gilet/bodywarmer in the same colour as the blazer. Apparently coats werent allowed, but noone said anything.
