School uniforms in England (15 photos)

In Great Britain, school uniforms first appeared during the reign of King Henry VIII (1509 – 1547). It was blue, because it was believed that wearing such a color was supposed to teach children humility, and the fabric of this color was the cheapest. In modern England, each school has its own uniform; in addition, school symbols are widely used
