Unisex School Shirts?

Hi,

Does anyone have any recommendations for unisex school shirts? Just ideally want to have the same for my boy/girl twins. Saves him accidentally grab a blouse from the pile!

Seen them on School uniform direct, but does anyone know if there’s other options?

I think others are right, glad you're taking it on board. I understand doing this in primary for items they only wear occasionally but for daily wear in secondary I think it's really time for their own sets. They're stinkier now, will be hitting puberty, and should be each be able to take care of and and have ownership of their own basic daily personal items. They shouldn't have to deal with each other's wear & tear on something like that. It seems like your DD would getting short shrift in particular, since you would be choosing "unisex" shirts for her in order to save her brother potential embarrassment if he doesn't bother to look at what he's putting on.

We do label all of our DC's uniform pieces and it's worth it. Everyone has their own stash of stick-on labels (ours are from mynametags) in a distinct color and for clothes they go on the wash & care labels for the shirts/blouses.

Thanks everyone for the comments, I take the point that sending her in with a boys/unisex shirts is the equivalent to sending my lad in her skirts. Lesson learnt thanks for all the input!

I bought from different shops so it was easy for me to sort and them to identify which sibling an item belonged to.
