South Korean School Uniform Styles: British-style Uniforms



Figure 1.--Here a group of Korean secondary students are walking to school in the 2000s. They wear a British-style black blazer uniform. I'm not sure if the student at the right is a boy or girl. The girlscwear grey or black skirts and tights. The boys wear grey or black trousers.

Korean schools both during and after the the Japanese colonial era wore the cadet uniforms connonly worn in Japan. Not all schools had uniforms, but many did, especially the secondary schools. Gradually Korean schools have begun to adopt new styles. This appears to be up to each individual school to determin their uniform. While primary schools have adopted a wide range of different styles, the secondary schools seems to have mostly selected British styles, striped ties and blazers. We do not have a lot of information on Korean schools. We are unsure how many schools have made this transition, but we see quite a number of Korean schools with these British-styled uniforms. We note both blue and blsack blazers. We are unsure tobwhat extent other colors have been adopted for school blazers. We do not notice caps being worn. We do notice both boys and girls wearing the blazers and ties.
