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

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

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".

That is cruel mate - should be reserved for the preserve of the thick side !!

Re: How you had your School tie

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

The style that the popular kids at mine did was short - a few CMs long


The long version down to Belt was for the Geeks who found it tuck no effort to that version!

Would only ever do that if the Tie had crest/logo on - which it did'nt and if they said you gotta show it

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

what i mean is i got my mom to tie it for me in the morning.

Then when pe came i loosened it enough to take it off then when i was finished with p.e. I put it on and tightened it up.

You was brave Dazza letting the other dudes think you could do ur Tie skinny

Respect mate

My Infants and Juniors didn't have uniform, so I can say it was basic jumper, jeans and t-shirt.

Was same at my Junior and Primary's George yeh - so was almost glad we had Uniform at Secondary then

Doing your Tie a certain way, tucking your Shirt in etc - actually helped you (me) find out who the bullies etc was and who was real mates, more so like first day my bestest mate and all others had jumpers on with their Blazer an said to me "why you not got a Jumper on" not as it was mandatory (but this is coming from me - someone from then even to now) alwatys wears a Jumper even if it is 85/89 outside or in indoors even lol

Did anybody else at School often get told off for your Blazer and Badge not being A1 and Shirt etc etc but never your Tie skinny??

Can imagine you was'nt in the Wannabe/cool kids gang then

If you did'nt like it dangling - just do it short

Re: Trainers?

PLEASE!
Just stop with these pointless "school uniform/trackies/trainers threads??

Sorry, but you are really starting to irritate. All of these stupid "uniform/tie/trousers/shoes posts could have been put into one thread.


No need to add same comment onto every related thread, and use the search! There's a million and one trainer threads you could have added too

Tbh SixtyTen you sound the kind of Guy who'd grass up the younger years for reverse tying!!!

You put me in mind of Mauler MCcall from Grange Hill as most in most School's ho did "long thin" was one of bullies with "short/medium thin Lads" wannabes/cool lads

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.

Well my Grandad always taught me that that would damage the Tie Darren mate, but fair-do's every Kid and his Dog will have done this

Main reason being if your Tie was stripey and like me I liked to have the knot stripe touching the body under the knot to match - tricky to do .... but gained you immense status!

Doingt Shirts - that was same as your school ones like Lye and Schott - not those as they was'nt as known "back in the day" but doing Shirts you'd today classify as White Fashion Shirts - not ordinary accepted School ones earned you many a Kudos point/points at my Schools - more so as any tiny Logo on said Shirt drove the Teachers crazy and was immense feeling that not being noticed!

Rolling your Shirt Sleeves up at my Schools was a mega fashion statement - even doing it from the start of the day!1

Was the geeks way this - for those at my School who wanted to to their Ties skinny but really could'nt be asked or bothered cos it took minamal effort to make it short - which was always more trendy

Our Ties had logos we had to show too and though School had hated and resented us wearing our Ties skinny, they tried to make us show the Logo so we complied by either A) Colouring it ..... nasty but nice and extremely cool or B) when you tuck the big side in don't tuck it into the top 2 buttons (don't get why any button is'nt ok tbh!!??) and tuck it in lower so the logo was showing but you got more of the proper side showing - which then tuck going against the rules and regs of the Uniform to another next level - which the Teachers hated and detested even more Lol
