School Uniforms I’ve Worn
The people who have designed uniforms of girls in private Catholic schools must have been descended from the inquisitors of the Middle Ages because of their penchant to torture young ladies by imposing on them clothes with outrageous colors and atrocious styles. Boys have it easy. They just have to put on a white polo shirt and khaki shorts, for the young boys, or pants, once they’re considered “young men.”
I was four years old when I went to Nursery School. That’s pretty late I guess for today’s standards when kids go to school even before they could walk. I remember that I wore a pink and white checkered jumper with a white blouse underneath. I didn’t care much for fashion then. Oh heck, I don’t care much for fashion now.
But I did care that I had to wear a cast for months on one of my legs, I forgot which one. I was a klutz then, and even until now and I could trip over my own two feet while walking on perfectly flat land. Anyway, it was in 1974 when I fell down from the top of the stairs in our house. It was a good thing that my good old Yaya Flory scrambled to the bottom of the stairs to catch me or else I would have hit my head. I did break my leg though so I spent most of the time in Nursery school being bullied by boys who laughed at my handicap and pulled my hair and ran, knowing that I couldn’t go after them.
Then, I went to the big school for Kindergarten and Grade School. My three big sisters were already there at that time – the two older ones in high school and Sixter (so called because she’s my sister with six toes – see this post) in Grade School.
So all four of us wore hideous matching outfits of deathly maroon skirts, white blouses, and horror of horrors, and to the evil glee of my Evil Big Brothers (and again, I say evil with much affection), matching maroon ties with the school initials embroidered in gold. That horrible maroon tie did serve a purpose though – it was my chewing stick in the absence of pencils to chew on.
There was one particular uniform that I did enjoy in Grade School – my star scout uniform, of course. However, as a child, I was quite a chubby girl and very dark on account of regular weekend trips to Matabungkay. So just imagine – this green uniform, round, and black – I looked like a bloody Stork candy.
I was having a little trouble with my teachers in Grade School. But the last straw was when my sixth grade English teacher taught us that the past tense of sink is sank and the past tense of think is thank.
“Teacher,” I said, “the past tense of think is thought.”
She looked at me evilly and shut me up saying, “no, thought is the past tense of teach.”
Big Evil Big Brother was appalled when I told him so he took matters in his own hands and helped me apply to another school, thereby breaking family tradition by not finishing high school in that maroon school. I went to the green school instead.
So I was a new student in high school – painfully shy and insecure with my English, the language which all my new friends spoke. But no matter how good the English of everyone was, it could not hide the fact that we were all wearing atrocious electric green skirts (yes, electric green!), a dirty beige blouse with Peter Pan collars with matching green embroidery of the school initials in the front pocket. So there we all were, speaking in conotic English, but looking very much like cheesy bus conductors.
Then, college. I had my chance, not only to forego Religion as a school subject, but also to wear decent civilian clothes as I passed the UPCAT and could have gone to UP where the rest of my siblings were studying at the time. But noooooooo! I preferred to go to a school where not only did I need to take up 12 units of Theology, but I also had to wear a uniform for another four years… except that I was so slow that it actually took me seven years to finish college (not on account of Theology, mind you). So I had to wear the bloody uniform for a total of seven years.
So from 1986 to 1993, I wore a matching milky white skirt (very tight and hot I could hardly breathe) and a milky white blouse with get this… an electric pink (yes pink!) piping around the Peter Pan Collar. But that’s not all. The school fashion designer decided that the white uniform with the pink collar wasn’t enough to make us look silly enough – she also had to put a pink ribbon in the middle. Yes, a pink ribbon! I looked like a birthday gift. I might as well have worn my uniform when I was in Nursery school – cast and all.
So now, I don’t wear a uniform anymore. But the problem is… you know us women, we could never have enough clothes, no matter how many dresses are in our closets. We never have anything to wear and we spend endless hours every morning deciding on what to wear, putting on and changing different outfits and shoes. This is too tight. This is too slutty. This is too manang. This doesn’t match with my shoes. This is too formal. This is too casual. This is too stuffy. This is too old. I’ve worn this last week. Sigggh… I wish I had a uniform.

my composition teacher in HS told us that raison d’etre was spelled raison doetre. minali nya ko when i spelled it raison d’etre. huwaaaaaaat!!!!!! at ang pronunciation niya ng croissant /kro-WASANT/. needless to say, sya yung hindi nagtagal sa school namin dahil english freaks yung founders ng school (and i mean freaks in a nice way ^_____^).
ooh-kay, eto po ang mga sagot ko para sa gawaing pansanay
1. yup i wore a school uniform, from kinder up until college. i went to the same school from kinder to high school and i sooooooo hated the uniform there, green jumpers and white blouse. i envied my girl cousins’ and friends’ uniforms (they went to exclusive girls’ schools) so when i went to college i chose that school with the black and white checkered skirt and long sleeved blouse. the best thing in that uniform? the black necktie. i loved that tie, i didn’t change it at all until graduation then i had to get a new one.
oh yeah, i also had to wear a chef’s uniform too. 
2. if i were to design my own school uniform, it should look like those prep schools complete with short skirts, white blouses, blazers and ties with the school’s colors. or maybe like a sailor’s uniform.
3. the day i graduated from HS i swore i will never wear that uniform again. but i do hope my college uniform and chef’s uniform still fit me… hehehe.
4. my classmates will disown me if i wear our uniform in a homecoming lol. (tho i think just a handful of people will go to a homecoming, come to think of it.)
1. Have you ever worn a school uniform? Please describe.
Yes. During my elementary days, my uniform is white polo shirt with red collar. grade one and grade two, we wear shorts and grade three to grade six (no grade seven yet) we were pants. In high school, white shirt and grey pants. In college we had no uniform (thank God!).
2. If you were allowed to design your school uniform, what would it look like?
dark/dead green polo shirt and regular jeans will do.
3. Does your old school uniform fit you?
not anymore.
4. Did you ever wear your old school uniform in an Alumni Homecoming?
no and i will not. hehehe…
nice post toe.
Carlotta, oh good that teacher didn’t last. Can you just imagine all the wrong things some teachers put in the heads of students?
I know that school you went to in college. That’s in Quezon City right? I used to teach high school music and their glee club there and at the same time one class of Humanities in College. I think that was in 1994 to 1995.
Hehe… cute nga yung sailors’ uniform.
I see some of those who celebrate their silver or golden anniversaries… mga lola na… and wearing their high school uniforms.
Dong Ho, I wish nga that we had jeans for uniforms in high school – stretch jeans para comfortable. And sneakers instead of leather shoes.
I wonder what school has that red collar? I’m thinking maybe St. Stephen’s or some other private Chinese school diba?
Thanks Dong!
1. Have you ever worn a school uniform? Please describe.
- Yes, I wore a dark blue skirt and a plain white blouse with the logo of the school stitched on the front right side of my flat chest. It wasn’t too bad. In college, I didn’t wear one but there were days (the I don’t know what to wear and I’m going crazy days) that I wish I wore one.
2. If you were allowed to design your school uniform, what would it look like?
- I would have it the same way except I would ditch the ruffles on my collar and maybe lengthen my sleeves and have a more comfortable neckline. We were lucky that the school wasn’t very strict with the uniform. Students had free reign to customize their uniforms without making it too different.
3. Does your old school uniform fit you?
- It did at the time. Now, it wouldn’t.
4. Did you ever wear your old school uniform in an Alumni Homecoming?
- I haven’t been to one but I wouldn’t dare..
You know what? Here in the States, I noticed that they only have uniforms for Poor Catholic schools or really expensive Boarding Schools.
I went to a non-sectarian coed school and we didn’t wear a uniform. Actually, there were uniforms but we weren’t required to wear them. Pag may program lang naka-gala kami. Like you, I wore my GS uniform with pride. Gustong gusto ko yung green uniform na yon!! Loved it to death!! Tried to collect as many pins for my collar
In college we weren’t required to wear a uniform either. Lucky me!! Never had to succumb to fashion pressure from nuns, priests, or wannabe fashion designers..wahahaha
and everyone in the school I transferred you to thought that you were my daughter!
okay.. i know the green uniform. but not the maroon. malapit ba sa st. lukes yung maroon? hehe.
music ka diba? so blue yung uniform mo?
and yes, i’ve worn school uniforms. di ko maremember sa kinder. but prep to grade 6, all brown. highschool, yung black & white. malamang di na kasya uniform ko saken. at di ako nakaattend ng homecoming namin sa highschool
I did from elementary blue skirt and white blouse and for trinity elementary checkered green skirt and white blouse. High school blue skirt and white blouse with tie. My college uniform was an above knee green fitted skirt with matching beige blouse (and neighbouring Universities compared us to Ever Gotesco Cashier in Recto) but I did not wear the skirt instead I wore my green slacks that Mom made. I demanded a petition to change it to green slacks because it’s difficult to take public transpo while on skirts ! I was the only one wearing the green slacks since the beginning even FEU did the University regulations before it was a free style . I remember students asking me if I am not afraid. Why do I have too, it’s my right anyway. I will wear what I want and be comfortable while taking public transpo. Kasi ba naman ilang beses na nasira yung slit ng palda ko sa kahahabol sa mga jeepney na yan! Finally, I won the battle and everyone thanked me for doing so ! Tigas daw ulo ko
, hindi naman alam ko lang ang rights ko as a student.
Given the chance to design I will definitely go for slacks and simple blouses!
My old uniform are worn out, naging basahan na
! Never attended an Alumni yet !
I only wore a uniform in elementary school — brown long-sleeved shirt and brown long pants. I liked the neighboring elementary school’s uniforms which had short sleeved shirts. I would’ve preferred those over our long-sleeved uniforms. When I moved to the states, I attended public schools which didn’t require uniforms. Haven’t worn a uniform since, so my old uniform probably wouldn’t fit anymore. hehe
It’s hard to picture those uniforms you’re describing. Why not post more uniform photos? A picture is worth a thousand words, right? hehehe
1. Have you ever worn a school uniform? Please describe.
— Yup, khaki shorts and white polo in grades 1 to 4 and khaki pants and white polo again from grade 5 to senior high.
2. If you were allowed to design your school uniform, what would it look like?
— If I have my own school, walking/beach shorts, tee shirts and sandals would be the official uniform for the boys. For the girls naman, kailangan yung short shorts and baby tees… O di ba?
3. Does your old school uniform fit you?
— Are you kidding me?
4. Did you ever wear your old school uniform in an Alumni Homecoming?
— Nope, never attending any homecoming yet.

Seat Work #1:
1. Have you ever worn a school uniform? Please describe.
(Mon & Thu = skirt days; Tue, Wed, Fri = pants; Sat = civilian)
Yes, I’ve studied in many schools, as dad’s work requires us to move around.

b. Canossa Academy- white dress with sky blue tie and belt that I keep on losing
c. St, Joseph College – white long sleeves &

f. St. Scholastica’s College, College – SM sales lady uniform
2. If you were allowed to design your school uniform, what would it look like?
I’m too lazy to design… so I’ll just borrow and recreat pajama!
3. Does your old school uniform fit you?
Even though I just graduated a month ago, my uniform doesn’t fit me anymore… hahaha. My skirt was disintegrating during the last days.
No
4. Did you ever wear your old school uniform in an Alumni Homecoming?
No, but I’d love to. But I’ve never been to an almni homecoming actually
That “thank” teacher of yours reminds me of my Pop Ed teacher and her atrocious English..one time we were noisier than usual, she said in exasperation, “Class, why do you always make me temper?!” Nyark.
Heniwei..
Firstly, I thank heavens that I do not need to wear uniforms anymore!!! I HATE my girls scout uniform because the buttons were the “automatic” type so when somebody pulls tugs your dress while playing, madali ka lang ma-bold. Aaay! I usual uniform in high school was a white shirt with pleated fringe and a dark blue skirt, not too bad. In university, I went to Ateneo de Davao and we had to wear all white with a dark blue ribbon around our collar–not my fave since white means you have to always be careful where you sit and what you eat…eh burara ako…
Second Q: Basta stylish and comfy and di madaling kapitan ng dumi, okey na…how about jeans? That would be nice.
Third Q: Uhh….never tried it again but for the college one I think it would still fit…i think/wish.
Forth Q: Hmm…good idea…would be nice to show off that my uniform still fits..hehe.
hi toe! I hadn’t visited in a while. sorry
I experienced uniforms during my grade school years, but my favorite was the girl scout uniform too. I liked the sash in front where you can put your pins.
We moved to the U.S. soon after so no more uniforms. I think that is why I think fondly of our uniforms back then which were a very sedate blue and white. Nothing like the pink present your described. lol!
1.Have you ever worn a school uniform? Please describe.
Yes, from elementary to college. In elementary, white blouse with checkered skirt (thank god that it was not pink). In highschool, all white uniform that extends up to my knees with long sleeves and a white belt and a green tie(imagine the heat). In College, I had to wear a nursing uniform with ALMEROL! so thick that it can stand on its own.
2. If you were allowed to design your school uniform, what would it look like?
i would have to agree with most of them, shirts, sneakers and shorts. I think that would be superb especially if i’m sneaking out of the classroom.hehehe…
3. Does your old school uniform fit you?
My college uniform still does fit me.
4. Did you ever wear your old school uniform in an Alumni Homecoming?
Awww, was not able to attend.
Nice post, Toe!
I can still vividly remember all the uniforms I’ve worn from kinder to college and I can also recall how I wore them with pride. I loved wearing almost all my uniforms (lucky me, I never had any of those with outrageous colors) because I knew I looked good in them
The only ones I remember hating were the itchy gala uniforms in Catholic School which were required during religious programs, and the tight-fitting skirt in college which were so uncomfortable when we had to sit in class four hours straight at times.
Question # 2: Jeans and any comfy shirt
Question # 3 & 4: No. But I remember my mom and her classmates going to an Alumni Homecoming, in the same HS I went to, and they wore their old uniforms. They all looked great! They looked like the regular younger students…only that their bigger waistlines and wider hips gave them away
I was having a little trouble with my teachers in Grade School. But the last straw was when my sixth grade English teacher taught us that the past tense of sink is sank and the past tense of think is thank.
“Teacher,†I said, “the past tense of think is thought.â€
She looked at me evilly and shut me up saying, “no, thought is the past tense of teach.â€
bwa – ha- ha ! : ) reminds me of my teachers in grade schools
ooh, gawaing pansanay! the return of the comeback!
okay, 1. Have you ever worn a uniform? please describe.
– blue shorts and white polo or t-shirt in elementary, khaki pants and white polo in high school (i think this started my “addiction” to khaki and brown hehe)
– the boy scout uniform, which i love except for the green socks that needed to be worn up to the knees wehehehe
– the CAT and ROTC uniform, which i also love because they look good on me or i look good on them hehehe (but it doesn’t mean that i love CAT and ROTC).
2. If you were allowed to design your own uniform, what would it look like?
– the boys will still use the khaki/black pants and white polo combination, the girls will wear a sailor-moon inspired uniform complete with a pony tail hehe.
3. Does your old uniform fit you?
– no more, because i look like a stick when i was in Elementary and High School
4. Did you ever wear your old school uniform in an Alumni Homecoming?
– we initially made that as part/gimik for our High School Alumni Homecoming but didn’t push thru for the very obvious reason that everyone went to the chubby side…
I hate school uniforms esp my uniform in college. it was hideous. lol.
you always trip off? Have you ever thought that maybe you are flat footed?
i went to pisay in high school and wore brown checkered skirts. one day, we went to eat at Pancake house and found that my skirt is their tablecloth.
Ah, I miss these exercises you periodically assign to your readers!
Anyway, here are my answers. I wore uniforms from different schools. My 1st grade was no uniform: I was enrolled in the Hawaiian system, which has no uniform. 2nd grade to 6th grade was in the Philippine public school system, so I wore a white polo shirt and a blue pants. I wore short pants all the way until 6th grade.
7th grade (aka 1st year high school) was a similar uniform, white shirt with blue pants. The only thing different was the school logo on the shirt. 8th grade to 9th grade was the gakuran. You can see an example of it here.
10th to 11th grade was a blazer-type uniform, more Western than the gakuran. And finally, 12th grade was no uniform, since it was Guam, and the US has no uniforms in the public school system.
I wouldn’t design a uniform, since I hate uniforms. I like originality, and uniforms suck. I once painted a poster of an alien looking for his friend in another planet, where the inhabitants were all the same.
I don’t know if my old uniform still fits me. I gained a little weight. And no, I haven’t attended any homecoming yet, I am so far away from them anyway.
Hi M! Let’s see… would the initials be STC?
I could be wrong of course. 
Oh, but the uniform must have looked good if it didn’t change much. Haha… uniforms only in the poor Catholic schools or expensive boarding schools. 
Kongkong622, oh good for you you didn’t get to wear a uniform.
Oh, aren’t the GS uniforms cool? I felt like a toy soldier in it.
Oh, you’re so lucky you didn’t have to deal with priests and nuns… you don’t know how lucky.
Koyang Jun, even at that time, cguro muka ka ng masungit.
I am sure you looked great in your pink uniform !
Tin-Tin, korek! Malapit sa St. Luke’s.
You know before the blue uniform, we wore the white one with the pink ribbon. Nakakainis, hindi ko naabutan yung blue. That looked so much better. And they were allowed to wear slacks too. Shucks! 
Ah, St. Scho… like my Mom, diba?
And college? In Aurora Blvd.?
Haze, my school with the maroon skirt is right beside Trinity.
Haha… you’re so astig… petitioning the school so that you could wear slacks… so cool! 
Oo nga naman… it is so much more convenient. These school uniform designers don’t know what girls have to go through, especially if you have to commute everyday going to school. Me too… I would like slacks and a simple blouse and comfortable shoes. 
Wil, I would be miffed too if I had to wear long sleeves shirts while the boys in the neighboring school could wear short sleeves.
I would be surprised if your grade school uniform could still fit you! 
I’d love to post more photos during my elementary days but they’re all back in Kamuning.
Snglguy, you boys really have it easy. Nothing wrong at all with khaki shorts/pants and white polos. It’s us girls, who have to suffer. O ayan ha… kami ngayon nags-suffer.
I have to admit though, it would really rock if we only to wear t-shirts and beach sandals to school. The nuns and priests would have a fit though.
You bad – short shorts and baby tees ha… sana ginawa mo ng tank tops. 
Panaderos, parang pareho kayong school ni Snglguy.
I agree with you on the recommended school uniform. Why can’t school administrators think the same way as we do? 
Clariz, that’s a lot of schools nga.
Oh, so you went to St. Scho – my Mom’s alma mater. Also Tin-Tin’s – see comment above. 
Pajamas! Perfect! Definitely the most comfortable idea yet.
Well, it has only been a month. It’s been years for me and I’ve never attended a Homecoming either
Gypsy, I thank that it would really make your teacher temper if you’re noisy.
Oh, ako naman – I prefer automatic because it’s so easy to put on… hahaha… I’m a klutz even when it comes to putting on buttons.
Pareho tayo – I’ve also had a lot of trouble with my white uniform in college. It was so dusty in UST pa naman.
Jeans would be perfect, stretch for easy locomotion. And sneakers.
Hi JMom! How are you?
Yeah, that pink birthday present was atrocious! How could I have endured that for so long? 
Oh, so you moved to the States at a young age pala. You must have had a lot of experiences going to a new school in a new country.
Peepee, aaah… we’re kindred spirits when it comes to wearing suffocating school uniforms.
Now, why couldn’t our principals have thought of putting us in shorts and sneakers? 
But sheesh – I’m jealous that you could still fit into your college uniform. 
IA, wow, you’re so lucky that you were able to wear uniforms which you could wear with pride. No such luck for me.
I wish that the nuns prescribed jeans and t-shirts, but no such luck either. Heck, I wish that my office prescribed jeans and t-shirts and sneakers to work, as well. 
Haha… my Mom and her friends in Assumption also went to their Alumni Homecoming in their uniforms. They were so cute and they were all in their sixties and seventies.
Aleks, ohmahgass…. some of our teachers are horrible! And to think that they are the ones who are supposed to form young minds.
Zherwin, I haven’t done the Gawaing Pansanay for quite sometime now… hehe! I promise not to be too strict in checking your paper.
I hate you boys… you have it easy with your uniforms, unlike us, girls.
Ahahaha… I remember those green knee socks. Ang dami pala nating scouts. I don’t know how I became a girl scout though. I’m terrible in camping and making fires and putting tents. I don’t know any knots. Heck, I can’t even tie my shoes. 
Sailor moon?????!!!!! Bagsak! Bagsak ka na! Hahahahahaha!
Let’s reveal those stick photos, shall we?
Hi Laarni, I don’t think I’m flat-footed. It’s not only my feet. I’m also a klutz with my hands – can’t sew a button and I’m always dropping stuff. I once dropped my cell phone in the toilet bowl.
Sometimes, I hit my head when I open the door.
Hi Heiji. You know what? I have a friend who’s in the Homecoming committee of Pisay and she was asking me if I knew any graduates from there.
OMG…. that Pancake House incident is hilarious!
LIW, you look like my brothers! If we were together, I’m sure we’d be mistaken as siblings.
Where were you when you wore the gakuran?
You are so right… uniforms suck and it’s so medieval (or Communist) to wear them.
Oh, so you paint too… you’re very talented and artistic.
Good you gained weight. You were so skinny in the gakuran.
Sidney, I have to admit that even if it looked silly, I learned how to carry it well.
Toe, hindi iyan ako! Nahanap ko lang iyan sa web, naghahanap ako ng picture ng gakuran eh. Nasa Osaka ako noong gakuran period, iyan ang traditional uniforms ng Japan, although recently they switched to blazers.
Oh, and the painting thing, that was just an art project in high school. I channeled my culture shock in Japan through it, the fact that everybody is pictured the same showed my frustration with being restricted, same shoes, same notebooks, no watches, same sweaters, same everything. No identity.
I went to O.B. Montessori and I — sorry — LOVED my uniform. So stylish, with navy blue, white, thin red accents. I thank my mom for enrolling me to that school. Although we had a horrid primary school uniform. these pink or yellow checkered smocks. Terrible! I only had to wear those for 2 years though.
haha, because i don’t think principals and teachers can wear sneakers and comfy clothes too, sobrang maiingit siguro sila.
pero cute naman ang sailor moon uniform di ba?
(umapela?! hehe)
LIW, hahaha! I thought it was you when you were in high school!
Gee, same notebooks and no watches? That’s really very confining. Like ants!
My brothers would look perfect in gakurans.
Pinayhekmi, oh good for you that you liked your uniform!
That definitely makes going to school much easier. 
Peepee, yeah… their uniforms are terrible too. Haha!
Zherwin, YOU try wearing sailor moon. Hahaha!
Have you ever worn a school uniform? Please describe.
- kinder – white tshirt with yellow print ksi kinder yellow ako, any shorts will do.
- gs – white polo kakhi short from grade 1 to 3 then pants 4 to 6
- hs – white polo with name plate black pants. polo barong nung graduating
- college – any tshirt, washed out jeans (washed only once a week) and rubber shoes.
If you were allowed to design your school uniform, what would it look like?
- i liked it the way it was. hindi naman maarte ang lalake.. kung ano kelangan isuot yun na.. mahirap nung college pa ubusan ng tshirt. pag peyborit o bago ang tshirt, they had the privilege to be worn twice in a week. its fine. MIT wasn’t fashion conscious that ‘time’.
Does your old school uniform fit you?
- definitely no. and if i wear my hs grad uniform, baka mapagkamalan akong presidential bodyguard.
Did you ever wear your old school uniform in an Alumni Homecoming?
- luckily no. there was an attempt when we had a GS homecoming in SJC ok lang sa lalake pero kawawa mga babae..
Kent, haha… we have the same Grade School alma mater.
Mas ok nga yung mga lalaki kesa sa mga babae…. khaki pants and white shirt, ok na. 
Presidential bodyguard… hahahaha! 
So when are you going to start your blog? 
hi! at least no one ever called you “Goldilocks.” that was the hideous print of our school uniform – which i wore from Grade 1 to college.
glad i found your site… am adding you to my blog roll.
hope you can drop by, too, one of these days! 
)
Thanks dr_clairebear! I’ve already added you to my Google Reader and will definitely be dropping by.
I just realized that looking at your photo as well as the background of the pic, we have the same alma mater… hahaha! never thought I also wore that green uniform when I was a member of the GSP club! HAHAHA! But I really missed the school’s regular/daily uniform even thought it’s quite common…at least we have the NECKTIE… hahaha! oh well just dropped by!
sars, hello to my fellow girl scout and Josephine!
