British schoolboys wore neck ties to school. Both state and private schoolsrequired them. The ties were usually stripped in the school colors. Often prefects or boys
who "won their colors" received the honor of wearing distinctive colors or patterns. These "sports ties" are particularly common. This pattern was continued in New
Zealand, but generally has been discarded or made optional. Only a few state secondary schools continue to require them, but many private schools still do. Girls at
so,e chools also wear neck ties. At a few schools they wear ties styled destinctly.
