Schools had a variety of rules about wearing blazers. While there are some general patterns, every school has developed their own rules. For the most part boys did not wear their blazers during a normal school day. Some private schools required boys to wear their blazers to and from school, but not during the school day. Most boys at state schools did not require boys to wear their blazers to and from schools. Blazers worn with white shirts and ties were required on special days. During the summer when boys wore sandals without kneesocks, boys would have to wear proper shoes and kneesocks with their blazers. At some schools older boys were allowed to wear long trousers rather than shorts with their blazers. This is a relatively new development, especially at prep schools.
