Though we rebelled against uniform as children by rolling skirts up higher than rules allowed, wearing black trainers instead of classroom-appropriate leather shoes, and sporting colourful hoodies underneath our school crest-adorned blazers – as adults we can appreciate the low-maintenance, decision-free nature of a prescribed daily outfit.
