Lots of children wear little black shorts under school skirts and dresses

Both.

@Karen any particular reason?xx

We do grey dresses with either socks or tights. My daughter refuses to wear trousers or skirts at school lol

@Alice found some really cute skorts at M&S that don’t show front or back that they’re skorts 😭 thinking that maybe?xx

@Jasmine 😂 what a princess! I’m not even giving my LO the dress option because she is obsessed with dresses atm, trying to get her to wear other things 😂 I know if I get even just 1 dress she’ll refuse anything else

@Olivia sound like a brilliant option. Remember M&S do their 20% off school uniform soon x

@Alice ahhh I didn’t know that! Thank you for the heads up 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Either. Skirts and dresses are nice and cool to wear in the summer and spring but maybe have a few trousers for any colder weather incase they want to wear them too.

@Olivia mines 8 but she likes to have options or match with her friend. Trousers are better when it’s cold or riding her bike. She also had a pinafore although won’t wear it now.

@Olivia you’re welcome it’s usually around May time every year x

@Karen completely forgot about girl code & bike riding haha 😂 thank you so much *adds trousers to list*

@Alice this is a life saver, forgot school sales would have their own season xx

@Helen 📝📝📝📝

@Olivia I didn’t give her the option, I got skirt & trousers but refused to even try them on😂😂 she also loves the fact when she goes back after the half term she can wear her summer dresses

I’d say get both so she has an option, trousers would be perfect for cooler weather and skirts/skorts would be good for the summer

@Olivia skort is a great option! My middle one loves wearing skirts and dresses but also loves gymnastics so spends half her time upside down and we’re constantly having to put cycling shorts under. This would save finding extra items to put on! 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 x

Either, my daughter has trousers, skirts, and school dresses. She gets a choice in the morning, weather dependant.

Both and pinafores x

We’re doing skirts/pinafores :) Summer dresses in spring/summer

@Jasmine 😭😂 for the school we’ve chosen they don’t get to wear dresses till summer y1 😭 so only skirt, trousers or grey pinafore sigh

@Ellis 😂😂😂 https://www.marksandspencer.com/girls-cotton-school-skort/p/clp60498330?color=GREY&extid=ps_ps-pla-pmax_ggl_kw_ch__-_UK_-_-_bau_ncob&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD7g6bR1V6yCIMwbI8_bJ9_oQCjex&gclid=Cj0KCQjwqv2_BhC0ARIsAFb5Ac9C47Hgtwuz2pw3q06D9zhSjcksf_s0Rci4vif7q3RzNJkNA5tBRDUaAhDsEALw_wcB that’s the link to the ones we got if you ever need it, I literally had stock this morning but it’s almost sold out in grey now

@Lisa so cute, I’ll probs do that and let her have options to make the transition for comfy tbh xx

@Olivia oh no you’re joking 😔 my daughter stats year 1 in September 😭

We do pinafores all year round my daughter is tall but skinny so we often struggle with waist and ones that fit are often box pleats....which I learnt in reception are the worst things to iron! I just team them with tights and boots in the winter and socks spring then revert to a checkered summer dress in summer.

@Anita mines tall and skinny too 😂 that’s why I’m scared to get trousers. We would be buying new ones every month 🤣

Skort

Personally, I'm a skirt fan. Even in cold weather, they can wear thick tights or thermals and then great for the summer. I would just recommend having cycling shorts underneath for modesty
