Schools have different color short trousers as part as their school uniforms. Boys at most schools primarily wear dark or mid-grey shorts. This follows the basic school uniform whivch developed in Britain. Grey is a neutral color which did not show dirt. It also went well with what ever school color that msy be chosen fgor caps, blazers, and ties. There were different shades of grey, but grey shorts are very commonly worn throughout New Zealand. We see boys wearing both black and grey long trousers, but we did not note black shorts. A few schools influenced by a Scottish school wear dark blue shorts. The blue shorts are all dark navy blue shorts. Unlike the grey shorts, we do not notice different shades of blue. A few other colors are worn, but they are not common. Mostly we see grey shorts and to a lesser extent blue shorts.
