Hmm. I think Ryanboy is winning so far with the mustard tartan

Trinity house, Hull

The cadet uniforms are smart, but i used to also see the boys in traditional sailor boy costumes with the swuare collars.

These 'magenta and chocolate' blazers should be up there!

Square

Hill House, London has to be a contender. Anyone fancy rust coloured knickerbockers?

And scaevola goes straight to the top of the leader board!

I wish I could link to the school uniform I had to wear in the 1970s but it's long gone.

It was bottle green blazer & overcoat. In the summer there was a straw boater hat but, in the winter, it was a green, felt covered jockey style hat.

Thankfully, the hats were not compulsory.

I wonder when the PR lady of the one who designed that 'mustard tartan' will pop along to this thread..

My primary school uniform was a brown pinafore with a bright yellow blouse and a brown and yellow striped tie which I thought was bad but the mustard jumpers are truly unflattering.

Noblegiraffe-did you go to Mallory Towers-Iam sure their uniform was like that.
The rust coloured knickerbockers teamed with the mustard jumpers get my vote so far!

mine wasn't awful looking at some of the others, but i did have to wear a straw boater in summer and a red beret in winter when i was at primary school which i hated with a fiery passion!

i also had ankle length tartan skirts for private senior school...bleurgh!

We didn't have a uniform in primary school but my mother made us all wear one anyway, based on the uniform from when we lived in England for a few years because she thought it looked smart and less washing/ easier in the mornings. Imagine being the only one in your class in a navy skirt and jumper uniform??

£48 for those mustard (sorry, I mean gold) coloured jumpers. And only available from Harrods!

I'm rather saddened to see that this school has moderated its early years of bonkers uniform: used to be a different variation on rust and green for every year, meaning you had to keep on buying new stuff.

According to a bitter ex-pupil, anyway. She may have been biased.

livinginwonderland - I was just about to post ankle length kilts - did we go to the same school? G?

Scaveola I like their rationale about grey uniforms and grey minds- presumably rusty minds are preferable.

I think it's fair to say that culottes and rust/gold cravats do not feature nearly often enough in uniforms.

Are those Tudor ones the actual everyday uniform ?!?

Oh my word - have you seen the prices of Hill House uniforms? I think I can kit each of my children out for less than the price of one Hill House jumper.

The twee red ones look ridiculous cute.

I am agog at the Tudor-style uniform. What is that about?

Yes they are, Inertia. And everyone I know who went there was very fond of them.

I came here to nominate Hill House, but see I've been beaten to it.

SantanaLopez, those blazers are hideous! Like pyjamas from the 1970s. And why do public school boys always have rosy cheeks?
