Many schools used to have quite formal uniform requirements, even during the regular school day. One major shift to infirmality was dispening with the mandatory school cap. This has almost entirely changed. The every day school uniform at almost all schools with uniforms normally is shirts and sweaters during the cooler months. The sweater is normally worn at the descretion of the individual student. Ties are worn at some schools, but are becoming increasingly less common. At some schools with ties, the boys are allowed to taken them off during the school day. Only at a few schools do the children wear blazers during the school day, although some upper-classmen do. The students are normally permitted to decide for themselves wether or not to wear their sweaters. Grey shirts are widely worn, but there are other options. Short pants are very common, worn with kneesocks during the Winter term. Shorts are not, however, seen as a casual garment as has been the case in the United States where shorts were often banned for schoolwear. Some schools have let the students decided whether to wear shorts or longs. At other schools shorts are required, often with age rules. Some schools make the type pf trousers dependant on the season. During the Summer term many schools switch to mpre casual sandals which are worn without hosiery.
