Re: What did you wear to school? (uniform-non uniform)

The last school I was at up to the age of sixteen we wore our own clothes until it went upmarket to uniforms

Re: What did you wear to school? (uniform-non uniform)

i had to have it tied for me so when i did p.e. I just slid the knot up or down depending on if i was starting p.e or finishing.
of those trousers ive heard of farah's.

Saame here in first/2nd year Daz!"

Though strange how like for me I got good at it - bvut never with laces - which are 2 things 9sort of a-like)!!

Your a brave guy/man though asking for someone to tie it skinny-thin for you!! At mine you'd not even be worthy of the status if you wasn't capeable of doing it yourself

it was "cool" to wear our school ties with the thin part only showing, the fat bit was tucked behind the shirt buttons, a normal length but with a small knot.
Unfortunately the end of the thin part was often frayed through too much "tie flicking".

As it was the 80s, said shirts were sometimes button down collars.

As for trousers, mine were either sta-press, farah or waffles.

Shoes, brogues (royals), monkey boots, desert boots, or trainers (as long as you didn't get caught wearing them outside of p.e.)

Button down Collars Mulletino - now your talking ... these looked so cool (but so iffy I guess in retrospect) if not stylish though they are adorable in their own odd way as a nod to fashion!! Especially the Ben Sherman ones too!

Here, here Mulletino - though making it longer thin helped but midgy thin made it frayed - but wo-bitied ('scuse the play on words) having the proper part at all showing!

Same too for Trainers for us if caught - like with the Tie thin!! Darren (Daz) is the 80s style guy on here who knows all about this kind of style and bringing "in" reto pics/comparisons! He won't mind me saying he's the kindest-most welcoming guy on the 'net and on DYR who'll help anyone in any interest they have (re pics) if he likes that subject one iota on none he'll help ppl 1000%

Re: How you had your School tie

At my school it was common for pupils to have a very small knot in their tie, often known as peanutting.

Same here ... here, here Richard!

The looser/Chunkier the knot was - the worse the Peanutting was then!!

Re: How you had your School tie

Hated them dangling, so as long as possible, so it tucked into trousers

No gotta be dead short thin for us, about a CM or 2 long!
