HBC has very little information on school uniforms in the Dominican Republic. Like most Latin Amrerican countries it is likely that uniforms are commonly worn, especially in secondary schools and all private schools. One available image shows an example of school wear in the 1910s.
Dominican school children in the early 20th century appear to have dressed much as American children. The girls wear dresses. White seems to have been popular. Some girls wear somocks and pinafores. Most but not all, despite the tropical climate, wore long stockings. Boys often wore sailor suits. Sailor tunics appear to have been popular for the younger boys.
Details are not yet available on modern Dominican school wear.
