Blazers were worn by both the boys and girls at prep schools. The basic styling was as far as we know for the most part the same. There were a few exceptions. We have noted blazers done in the Eton style without lapels, but only at girls' schools. More commonly girls wear the same blazer styles as boys. Girl's schools often had the most elaborate blazers and gave more attention to them and the uniform generally. . And coed schools the children all wore the same blazers. Girls would wear the blazer over the stanfard school dress during the summer. Here they would not wear ties like the boys. Often sirls wore sweters and skirts during the winter. Here they would again wear the blazer over it. And like the boys they would wear ties.
