As far as we can determine, Turkey has only one school uniform garment--the blue school smock. We notice some style variations. There appaer to be both back and side buttoning smocks, all made in rather short lengths. As far as we can tell, boys and girls wear the same styles of smock. It is worn with a wide white collar, often Peter Pan collars. We note that many boys and girls wear embroidered designs on these collars. We see some are the Islamic cresant and star that are a symbol of Turkey, but there are many other designs as well. Other than this smock, the children wear their own clothes--almost exclsuvely long trousers. We do not see Turkish school children wearing any kind of caps with their school smocks.
