China has just had enough food and clothing, and illiteracy has become less and less, but aesthetic illiteracy has never decreased. We don’t know how to be beautiful, so we need IKEA, and we need various sales offices to give everyone a basic vision of a beautiful life. As the population grows and the power class ages, the number of blind people around is still increasing. You can see the signs of unified shops all over the street. As for people, they are born with the power of beauty, just like the power of freedom and individuality. In today’s era, according to our observations and thinking, only when young people are financially and mentally independent can they have the power and money to discover themselves. The beauty.

China’s ugly school uniforms, to a certain extent, reduce the mutual malice among students. Our school has introduced Western-style school uniforms before. They are called dresses at school. They are divided into two types. In summer, girls wear light blue shirts and dark blue pleated skirts/trousers, with a blue and silver bow tie. The boy is in a light blue shirt and dark blue trousers/shorts, with a blue and silver tie. Spring and autumn girls are white shirts, black and white plaid skirts, black ties, and dark blue suit jackets. The boy is in a white shirt, dark gray pants, a black tie, and a dark blue jacket. At that time, the school’s rule was that a formal dress must be worn on Mondays, and on other days, you can choose any dress or sportswear. With the good-looking dresses, everyone is very happy and doesn’t want to wear sportswear anymore. However, in less than a month, except for the Monday that must be worn, many people don’t want to wear dresses anymore. Because it is not good-looking, all-girls hope that they will be like characters in Japanese anime, like Queen B in Gossip Girl. But in fact, there are not many girls who are very marked during puberty. Many people will become fat and their skin deteriorated due to the sudden and rapid growth of puberty. In addition, there is almost no time to dress up in high school and wear them in time. Even if you wear a good-looking school uniform, you can’t achieve the effect of becoming beautiful.

I have heard countless times that everyone talks about a certain girl behind her back: “So fat, don’t wear a dress. The coat won’t fit anymore.” “Sure enough, it has nothing to do with school uniforms. People who wear ugly are ugly. .” and many more. However, as more and more “ugly girls” and “fat girls” were ridiculed by their classmates, they no longer wear formal dresses. In addition, compared to sportswear, dresses are indeed more restrictive, so after the freshness is over, fewer and fewer people wear dresses. At this time, I pointed the finger at a “beautiful girl” like me, “People have long legs, but they have to show them to others.” “Uniform temptation, good school spirit will be taken away.” So neither did I. Wear a dress again.

Soon after, I went abroad and put on a Western-style school uniform again. I found that the school uniforms have matching leather shoes, and there will be no situation where basketball shoes are assembled in the west. The class does not start until 9 o’clock in the morning, and the girls are all beautifully blown up and put on makeup. The school has a matching locker room, and sports classes require changing clothes in advance. The school has zero tolerance for bullying and saying that others are ugly and others will be dealt with seriously.

Later, my school in China canceled the formal dress system because there was no one to wear it, but the sportswear was designed to look good. Although I don’t know for what purpose the school designed good-looking school uniforms, the final result was quite unexpected. In my opinion, not so much as parents talking about teachers, it is better to say that students themselves have great resistance when it comes to implementing good-looking school uniforms.

Why beautiful clothes must show your body? Orthodox Japanese school uniforms [especially sailor suits] tops don’t tuck in, as long as the shoulders are wide. Even if it is washed in a washing machine, it does not need to be scalded, it will be smooth after shaking. Uniform skirts basically have waist adjustment sliders, and they are not afraid of gaining weight. The skirts also have pockets. The shirts are worn by boys also have pockets. How does the pregnancy rate change when some schools change to Western-style school uniforms? Can suits and shirts not be waisted? Orthodox uniform skirts are down to the knee or even below the knee. There is no white horizontal line on the skirt. Miniskirts are only used in comics and TV series, but there are also girls who deliberately shorten skirts.

It is not a problem of washing and staining resistance at all. British school uniforms look pretty shaved, but they can all be washed. They are still neat after washing and drying, and they don’t need to be ironed at all. There is no difficulty in the production process. Why is school uniform sportswear and not a suit? Because you can’t wear suits for physical education, the school needs to provide changing rooms and lockers for school uniforms. However, most of the schools I have seen, especially key elementary schools, are most crowded in residential areas. The student population in the school area is oversaturated and even music Classrooms have to be set aside as classrooms, and there is no space for students to change clothes.

The reason is that the difficulty in adjusting the ugliness of school uniforms is the result of a game between the Education Bureau, manufacturers, schools, parents, and students. Take the case of Xiamen as an example. My classmate studied clothing design at university and also ran a clothing factory after graduation. As a representative of professionals and parents, she participated in a school uniform seminar for middle school students sponsored by Xiamen Education Bureau. I think she should be able to express some professional opinions on this issue, so I sent her the link to the question.

Regarding the few minor issues mentioned by the subject in the problem description, my classmate denied that there was a high-voicing reply to the lieutenant school (or the Education Bureau) in Xiamen City that received clothing rebates, saying that this was absolutely nothing. As for “Could it be that the school deliberately let the manufacturer design the school uniform so ugly, so that students don’t look good and have a good feeling for each other?” This sentence, she thinks, is real.

Mainly related to the problem: good school uniforms are more expensive, poor students can not afford to wear them, so everyone can only wear low-grade inferior school uniforms.

(Xiamen city middle school student) This 5-year school uniform has been discussed for almost 5 months, and ten seminars have been held before and after. Student representatives, parent representatives, school representatives, and manufacturer representatives each discussed once, and then various proposals and issues were discussed. In the later period, the bidding unit’s finished product display and all parties voted, and finally held in the Wuyuanwan campus of the Second Middle School. A catwalk. In short, the posture and work have been done sufficiently, but the result is still so unsatisfactory. There are many factors:

1)The fabric of this polyester cover cotton feels very bad, but in fact, I admit that from the perspective of cost performance, there is no more suitable fabric for sportswear. It is easy to clean, wear-resistant, quick-drying without wrinkle, and low cost;

2)Everyone talks about the school uniforms in Japan and Hong Kong. They don’t know that the cost of a school uniform for one year is 3,000 yuan. We can’t wait for 300 yuan for three years. During the meeting, we also proposed to increase the cost. It was immediately opposed by the Tongan Xinglin area. In fact, there are many poor students now. When bidding, every school uniform manufacturer must add 10% of the order to the poor students free of charge. Terms.

3)As for the color in the Siming area, the prototype was really not of this color when the bid was originally submitted. I don’t understand how it became like this when it was mass-produced.

4)The purpose of the rustic three bars is for the fluorescent band in the middle and for night safety.

The conclusion is that it is a myth to produce a set of beautiful and generous, low costs, can be worn for at least two years, easy to exercise, dirt-resistant, easy to wash, and dry. Unisex school uniforms are simply a myth.

South Korea’s school uniforms are similar to those of Japan, but they also have their own unique tastes and styles. There are even well-known brands of school uniforms, such as SMART. These brands will invite Korean idol celebrities to endorsements to increase social visibility and conduct commercial competition. Under the effect of the market’s survival of the fittest mechanism, it will inevitably promote the continuous optimization of the quality of school uniforms, so that the design of school uniforms will be in line with the world’s fashion trends. Countries such as Europe and the United States, which are known for their freedom, attach great importance to the design of school uniforms. After centuries of evolution, they have a long history and cultural precipitation. European and American boys generally wear orthodox suits and ties, while girls wear orthodox suits with collars and orthodox leather shoes.

In Japan, school uniforms are generally changed once every ten years. When it comes to replacement, the school will invite well-known designers to design. But in China, sports school uniforms have lasted for more than ten years, and there is no relatively fixed replacement time. The styles of each batch are similar except for the difference in color. It is difficult to distinguish students from different schools. The styles of school uniforms for middle school students in modern China are relatively simple, mainly divided into sportswear and uniforms, with sportswear being the majority. Considered from many aspects, this design has certain advantages. The sportswear is loose in style and can be adapted to various large-scale activities of the school, such as competitions and sports meets. At present, the color matching of sports school uniforms mostly uses different color stitching, using cyan and yellow, white and blue, black and white, red and white, etc., lacking a sense of detail design, and mainly taking leisure and convenience as the design concept. Although this style is loose and convenient, there are still many problems. School uniforms reflect the connotation of campus culture, and sports school uniforms cannot fully demonstrate the personality and spiritual outlook of students. In addition, according to related reports, most of the fabrics and production processes of Chinese school uniforms do not meet the needs of physiological hygiene.

So this is the current situation at home and abroad. If more designers can pay attention to schools and students, this situation may be improved.

I asked a middle school teacher why he wears such ugly uniforms for middle school students? It destroys the children’s aesthetic ability. Is this to prevent students from falling in love early? The teacher smiled bitterly and said that I also think the school uniforms are ugly, but it’s really not to prevent premature love, which can’t be prevented. The purpose of wearing a uniform school uniform is to allow children from different backgrounds to have an equal learning and social environment. I said you can design Good-looking school uniforms, the teacher replied that we can’t just blame the school. For example, boys’ suits and girls’ skirts are good-looking, but they need to be taken care of. Otherwise, it’s better not to wear wrinkled suits. Chinese families manage their children’s clothes. The level difference is too big, so I have to step back and wear ugly sportswear.

As a clothing manufacturer, I will answer this question by my real name. Cheap, this is the truth. It is too one-sided to say how much inside information is caused. There are selling and buying, there are transactions, there are inside information and rebates, but this is not the root cause of the unsightly school uniforms.

First of all, as a manufacturer of school uniforms, qualifications are required. The number of qualifications is dead. For example, there are only two qualifications in a district, and the remaining manufacturers will not have qualifications even if their strength is up to the standard. Then there is still cheaper, in fact, this is the point. A set of school uniforms costs less than tens of RMB 100. It seems that it is not much cheaper, but it is actually very affordable. Good-looking school uniforms are not made by schools. Yes, we have a key high school here. There are many children from wealthy families. Every year we make school uniforms similar to Japanese and Korean board styles, but they are rarely worn when they are not in school. The reason is that it is still affordable. . How many factors are involved in making a Korean school uniform? Two points. One is price, and the other is quantity. Needless to say, the price, what is the quantity? Seasonal factors, beautiful clothes must first reflect the figure, that is, self-cultivation. However, as the season changes, it needs to be changed. Suitable clothes in early autumn cannot be worn in winter. Thick clothes cannot be worn inside, and the weather is not good, and the air permeability is not good. Including physical education issues. And don’t underestimate the growth rate of students’ height. It’s set in spring, maybe you won’t be able to wear it in late autumn, at least one set for one year is affirmative. Are parents willing to buy?

The payment for school uniforms does not go through the school. The school sends to the students and the students pay the money, but the school does not pay. So the reason why school uniforms are all sports styles is obvious. They are loose, big, and not awkward to wear. It doesn’t matter what clothes they wear. They can be worn all year round. You can also wear them in physical education. , But also show the uniformity of school dress.

Chinese families now know how much they spend for their children in a year, and then add two or three sets of beautiful school uniforms to their annual expenses. The school is very afraid of parents’ objections. If you buy too much, the parents tell the media that the school will take rebates every year. profit. Only when the cost is reduced will parents feel accepted.

Haven’t you changed your school uniform? I’m 1.7 meters tall, I bought 155 school uniforms when I was in high school, and then I asked the tailor aunt to change it short and narrow. Wake up in the morning and after the first get out of class in the bathroom with classmates curling hair, really exercise people’s efficiency.

I once asked a foreigner this question, and the answer he gave me was very simple, that is, unbelievable that school uniforms do not distinguish between male and female styles.

Reflection:

The survey comes from the question on Zhihu: “Why there is no good-looking school uniform in China”. There are many stakeholders actively participating, such as high school students, college students who have just graduated from high school, and manufacturers. This Stakeholder research helped me better identify them and their concerns.

Participant TVCX said that most Chinese people don’t know what beauty is, which can be reflected in the unified shop signs on the streets. Only young people who are economically and mentally independent can discover their own beauty, but I think this time difference in mining, missed the golden time for personality development and creative development, creation is a habit.

Xin Jiu expressed his opinion that unsightly school uniforms reduce the malice among students. From her personal experience, dresses and skirt-style school uniforms will intensify disputes among students. For example, overweight girls will be ridiculed and bullied. The dominant girl will also be judged, and in the end she chooses not to wear a dress and changes back to sportswear. Comparing her later experience of going abroad to study in high school, she believes that there are several main reasons. First, Chinese schools ignore bullying, second, there is no sports class, no locker room to change school uniforms, third, no leather shoes matching clothes, and fourth class. It’s too early, there is no time to dress up.

Xuan Hong talked about the problem of improving school uniforms in China because it is too prominent. He mentioned the case of Japanese school uniforms. The tops do not close at the waist and the skirts have to be below the knees. The fabrics are not easy to fold, and they will be smooth after shaking. And there is a distinction between sportswear and skirt-style school uniforms. This reminded me to pay attention to the characteristics of fabrics and to take into account the convenience of physical education and school uniforms without changing.

Niao, as a clothing design graduate and the owner of a clothing factory, believes that the biggest obstacle is that the cost of high-quality school uniforms is too high and not all students can afford it, including the cost of fabrics and the high processing prices of the factory. She also provided details of the strict rules and regulations on school uniforms issued by the Education Bureau, such as the selection of fabric indicators and fluorescent signs on the front and back of the chest.

As a clothing manufacturer, Eric pointed out that the student’s growth rate is fast, so school uniforms must adapt to the three-year body change, the design and fabric of the clothes must be suitable for each season, and the cost must be low to meet these conditions.

Pansz is a high school student who just graduated. When she was studying, her school uniform was a size much smaller than her height. Even though she was often educated by the teacher, she never tried. She also put forward the idea that Chinese school uniforms do not distinguish between men’s and women’s clothing, which gave me a big reminder that the school is trying to conceal the physical difference between boys and girls and blur the gender.
