Buying school uniforms should be a straightforward process. Unfortunately, if you are new to buying them, it can be a confusing, and potentially very expensive, prospect.  Buying all of your child’s uniform clothing at retail from the mall or a department store is a good way to waste money. Buying from a uniform supplier will ensure your child has quality clothes that look good while not breaking the bank. Here are some tips on how to get the most out of school uniforms:

  1. Be choosey about the brand names you pick. There are plenty of brand names, such as the ones sold here at S&D, that are high quality without the added cost of designer labels.
  2. Review the different types of garments. Most kids school uniform companies, like French Toast, offer many different styles of pants and shirts. Be sure to get something that matches your school’s recommendations but also meshes with what your child likes to wear. Do not be afraid to mix and match styles and brands.
  3. Take advantage of deals. If you happen to see girls’ skirts on sale, buy more than you need. You never know when she may rip the skirt by accident and you need a replacement, fast. Having extra uniform pieces is never a bad idea.

The weather is turning and in a strange sort of way. There is a weird sort of spring nip in the air here in New York and I’ve been seeing more and more girl’s school skirts in the past few days. If you were planning on stocking up on cold weather clothes for your girl’s school uniforms, it might be time to unpack the spring wear instead!

A lot of students are actually adversely affected by being too warm or too cold in a classroom. When your body is focusing on regulating temperature, it is a lot more difficult to concentrate on learning. You wouldn’t think that something as simple as a school uniform could impact your child’s learning, but it most certainly does.

Try sending your kids to school in layers. That way they can easily take off a sweater and still be following the dress code, but they won’t be burning up in biology class. They can also add layers if you send them in their backpacks so they won’t freeze in American History or Civics.

Make sure that all the articles you send them are school appropriate and plan for all weather types since it seems that Mother Nature can’t make up her mind.

Winter hasn’t really shown itself here on the eastern seaboard thus far this winter. However, it’s starting to get bitingly cold finally on the day after New Year’s. Ironically, this is the same day that a lot of people are heading back to work and/or school. If you’re sending your child off today, you might have noticed the drastic temperature drop. Kids wearing kids school uniforms are likely shivering waiting for the bus stop. Don’t worry though, here are some tips on how to keep your kids toasty warm during the winter months.

First, make sure your boys school pants are of a heavy material. If this means that they have summer pants and winter pants, so be it. It’s worth it to keep them comfortable. Heavy materials like wool work well but make sure your child can handle it as some sensitive skin finds wool very uncomfortable and itchy. Secondly, make sure your girls school uniforms include a nice heavy pair of leggings. This will ensure that tiny little legs stay warm even on the coldest day.

If you’re doing both of these things and your child is still a little chilly, try looking for a school approved sweater or sweatshirt to bundle up on those cold winter days!

You may have been shopping for new girls school uniforms for your daughter for a variety of reasons, whether her old ones are slightly small or just getting worn. But you don’t have to just toss them out, you can use them for your daughter’s Halloween costume! After all, Halloween is just 20 days away and instead of spending money on a new costume for your child, why not just reuse something old?

You can use the school uniform to turn her into an undead student. She can be a zombie or a vampire with ease. Just get some fake blood to put on the shirt and skirt and use pale makeup to create that “haven’t been in daylight for a while” look. You can also use bright red lipstick to create a look of blood around the mouth. You can even find plenty of gory prosthetics to enhance the look. Plus, your daughter will probably have a lot of fun wrecking the old clothes to create a new masterpiece of a costume!

So don’t get rid of the old girls school uniforms just yet, but reuse them for something even your daughter will think is pretty cool this Halloween!
