The summer uniform at many schools commonly consists of a light-weight grey shirt, grey cotton shorts, and Roman sandals worn without socks. Often the wearing of a tie is suspended. This is the most common uniform worn at numerous schools during the summer. We also notice blue shirts and shorts at a few schools instead of the more grey summer uniform. It is not always possible to know if a New Zealand school uniform is a summer uniform because short pants were often worn in both the winter and summer, even on South Island. Normally Roman sandals worn without knee socks was almost always a summer uniform. Sandals were not, however, worn during the summer at all schools. The school portrait shown here is is the standard summer schoomuniform worn at many New Zealand schools, grey shirts and shorts worn with Roman sandals without kneesocks (figure 1). The school does not use, however, the more common cotton shorts that matched the shirt.
