My DD goes to private school 5x a week and has:<br /> 2 skirts<br /> 3 pairs khaki pants<br /> 1 light jacket<br /> 3 long sleeve polos<br /> 3 short sleeve polos<br /> 2 jumpers </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-uniforms-to-buy#post-2753520 Thu, 29 Jun 2017 14:59:33 +0000 alphagam84 2753520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That seems like a lot for only 2 days a week assuming you do laundry once a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-uniforms-to-buy#post-2753338 Thu, 29 Jun 2017 09:21:29 +0000 808love 2753338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO just completed kinder. I did 7 tops for 5 days a week. It was just fine since we wash on a weekly basis. She nearly outgrew the two xs. The rest were smalls and are in great condition so she is wearing that again. I bought 2 more shirts to replace and now I'm back up to 7. I'm a minimalist though. Now I have 1 long sleeve. 3 tshirts and 3 polos. LO doesn't like polos but I do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-uniforms-to-buy#post-2753294 Thu, 29 Jun 2017 07:32:45 +0000 PinkElephant 2753294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One thing to consider - do you need to plan to leave a change of clothes at school? If so, buy an extra outfit for each season above what you think you want for at home. Even though she didn't have potty accidents, I was surprised at the number of times my eldest ended up needing her spare school clothes due to getting wet or messy when doing water play, painting, cooking, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-uniforms-to-buy#post-2753287 Thu, 29 Jun 2017 06:55:34 +0000 MrsBucky 2753287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only buy the current season because I never know what size he'll be when it gets cold or warm again. Our school likes to have three changes of clothes at any time so I would say five complete outfits should be totally fine For two days/ week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-uniforms-to-buy#post-2753281 Thu, 29 Jun 2017 06:28:04 +0000 dolphin 2753281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do 1 of each especially for just 2 days of preschool. My daughter went 5 days a week (half days) and I did 1 of each and was fine. We switched off wearing dress, polo, tshirt and did laundry once a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-uniforms-to-buy#post-2753280 Thu, 29 Jun 2017 06:27:36 +0000 looch 2753280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought enough to have a complete outfit everyday, plus one spare for the cubby. My son wears the same thing everyday, but with seasons, so I do 6 pairs of pants or shorts, plus 6 long sleeved shirts and 6 short sleeved shirts. Then he has 2 fleece vests he wears on top during the cold months. I didn't account for pants with torn knees, which happened, so by the end of the year, we were down to 4 pairs of pants.</p> <p>Then spirit wear and gym clothes. One each long and short tees, plus 2 pairs of sweatpants.</p> <p>For 2 days a week, I would do at least 3 complete sets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-uniforms-to-buy#post-2753267 Thu, 29 Jun 2017 05:09:45 +0000 FannyMae 2753267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my 5 year old starts school next year (5 days a week) and I was thinking that maybe 2 sets of winter/summer would be enough. I generally wash every day so she would easily have a spare set while one set is being washed/ironed.</p> <p>hers will be -<br /> 2 summer dresses<br /> 2 school jumpers (summer and winter)<br /> 2 long sleeve polos (winter)<br /> 2 pairs trousers (winter)<br /> 1 winter skirt with tights<br /> 2 short sleeve polos (sport)<br /> 1 pair shorts<br /> 1 tracksuit set (pants and bomber jacket)<br /> school bag</p> <p>optional - woolen coat and rain coat. They're allowed to wear any style coat, but I got one from amazon in her school colour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-uniforms-to-buy#post-2753262 Thu, 29 Jun 2017 00:12:03 +0000 808love 2753262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do 1 or 2 of each seeing as you would do laundry once a week. They grow like weeds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-uniforms-to-buy#post-2753259 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 23:31:36 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2753259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: yeah I'm thinking more like skorts being required, but this is more lax than what I had as a kid (and sounds better!) Definitely think you have enough for now though! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-uniforms-to-buy#post-2753253 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 23:15:38 +0000 anonysquire 2753253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: thanks!!!!</p> <p>@2littlepumpkins: so the website has 2 different skirts and 2 different pants. I got one of each so I can see how they fit and buy more of the ones we like!! I don't think I saw skorts but I wasn't exactly searching for them!! Oh and I also forgot to add 2 navy jumpers to the list. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-uniforms-to-buy#post-2753250 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 23:11:27 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2753250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That sounds like enough to me. When I was in school I had much less than that- 5/6 sets of the daily uniform plus a couple PE uniforms and a jacket. But for a little kid I can see why you might want a bit more. </p> <p>The only thing I noticed about your list is it seems to have a lot more tops than bottoms, and I don't know if this still holds true but I always see/saw younger girls wearing skorts? They're not always the cutest things though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-uniforms-to-buy#post-2753248 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 23:07:05 +0000 youboots 2753248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think 3-4 outfits for 2 days a week considering different seasons would be fine as long as you do laundry on weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-uniforms-to-buy#post-2753245 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 22:52:52 +0000 anonysquire 2753245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is starting school in August and will be going 2 days a week. How do I know how many uniforms to buy? She can wear white polos or button up shirts and navy pants, skirts or jumpers. But it doesn't specifiy what the appropriate amount of each item is.</p> <p>This is what I have in my cart so far. It helps that children's place is having a sale!</p> <p>4 short sleeve Oxford shirts<br /> 4 long sleeve Oxford shirts<br /> 2 short sleeve polos<br /> 2 long sleeve polos<br /> 2 white cardigans<br /> 2 skirts<br /> 1 skinny pants<br /> 1 chinos (want to see how the pants fit before buying more)<br /> 5 tights<br /> 1 navy light jacket<br /> 1 navy heavy coat<br /> 2 navy vests </p>
