I can hardly believe it’s already that time of year again, but, my kids started back to school last week. Our youngest reached a milestone of sorts – he’s officially a middle-schooler!
Where we live, starting middle school means taking on a little more responsibility and becoming more independent. It also means wearing uniforms to school. The elementary and high school students do not wear uniforms, but it is a policy that’s in place at our middle school. The kids don’t seem to mind and I have to say, it certainly makes getting ready in the mornings quick and easy.
When it comes to school uniforms for my kids, I look for two things. First, they must be comfortable. This is a must since they will be worn every single school day. I want my child to be relaxed and at ease at school. Nice comfy clothing is key to helping make his day go well. Second, the uniforms must be of high quality and durability. Because the uniform items will be worn so frequently, that also means they will be laundered frequently. They need to hold up well and look good wash after wash.
Lands’ End is a great source for school uniforms for kids. They offer a variety of styles and colors and a guarantee that allows you to return any item at any time if you are not satisfied.
We were able to try out a Lands’ End top and bottom for my son. Our uniform policy allows khaki or black pants and polo shirts in any shade of blue or white. So, we tested out the Lands’ End Plain Front pants in khaki and the Short Sleeve Solid Performance Interlock Polo shirt in navy.
I’m impressed with the quality of the clothing and my son told me that they are very comfortable to wear. He looked so handsome and grown up!
Some of the features of the Lands’ End uniforms that I really like:
- the pants are reinforced with Iron Knees for extra durability – just what boys need!
- the pants are made of 100% cotton fabric that is stain and wrinkle resistant
- adjustable tabs inside the pants allow for better fit
- polo shirt fabric is super soft
- polo shirt will not shrink, pill or fade and holds up wash after wash
Lands’ End has always been a brand I trust and so it’s no surprise that they make great, quality school uniforms for kids. If you are going to be shopping for school uniforms this year, I highly recommend you check out Lands’ End. Their school uniform items are available for purchase year-round and with their selection of colors, sizes, and styles, you’re sure to find just what you need.
Lands’ End provided me with a free uniform to facilitate this review as well as compensation for my time. I was not obligated to write a positive review and all opinions expressed are 100% my own.

I like that there are no fashion wars and kids can focus on their school work rather than who is wearing the latest fad and who is not.

While it isn’t quite as much fun to pick out school clothes, it certainly makes the process more simple!

they arent concerned with fashion statements since they all basically look alike, and it saves us money on clothes.

So much easier to pick out clothes in the morning. With everyone in the school having to wear a uniform, others can’t judge you on the types of clothes that you wear.

my favorite thing about my children wearing uniforms to school is that everyone has to wear the same thing so no style issues with other children at school

like uniforms because they go on sale during BTS sales, and low maintenance (don’t have to worry to much about matching the shirt to the pants)
gala says
there is no room for showing off
Jennifer Chiafalo says
As someone who spent time in a private school as well as a public school, I have to say there is an equalizing quality that uniforms have. Kids are better able to concentrate on admiring the inside of each other when you take away the distractions of fashion.
Missy L says
I would sure make choosing what to wear each morning super easy.
Cori Westphal says
The fact that there’s no fighting over what they wear!

I love that my daughter wears a uniform to school because it takes all the guess work out of our morning routine on what to wear to school for that day.

Beth Willis says
I love that my kids aren’t always begging for new pricey shoes or clothes because it’s what’s “in” because everyone’s wearing the same thing. Plus it makes getting dressed in the morning pretty easy.

It makes kids focus on the learning, not who is wearing what.

I love not having to fit about what she wants to wear. It’s all taken care of.
Linda Stewart says
My favorite thing about uniforms is not having to decide what Lil Man is going to wear everyday. The uniform makes that decision for me and I don’t have to worry about him wearing something that someone else would make fun of or make harsh comments about because they are all wearing the very same thing!
Terra Heck says
My fave thing is that the kids don’t feel pressured to wear the most up-to-date fashions since they’re all wearing uniforms. Thanks.

Maryann says
We dont have to think abut what to wear each morning
adina says
no decisions in the morning!
april yedinak says
you don’t have to waste time picking out outfits
ANGEL JACKLYN says
IT PREVENTS THEM FROM BEING TEASED ABOUT WHAT THEY’RE WEARING BECAUSE THEY’RE ALL WEARING THE SAME THING. AT THE SAME TIME, THEY CANNOT EXPRESS THEIR CREATIVITY. SO I DON’T KNOW HOW I’D FEEL UNLESS I WAS CONFRONTED WITH IT DIRECTLY.
Stacey B says
My fav thing is there is no arguing about what is being worn. It’s pick a color, and get dressed!

I like the basic simple style of school uniforms

my favorite thing is there is no social status for who can afford the name brands
Ellie A. says
For me it’s the most AWESOME thing as we know what we need no need to worry about anyone competing to see who has the better what everyone has the same plus the BONUS this mama loves to take a pic of her boys wearing the same thing (shhh they just look so cute although my 13 & 9 so totally disagree)
Linda G. says

That they make friends with kiddos based on who they are and not what they wear.

My son doesn’t have to wear a uniform, but i did growing up in England. I wish they would have it manditory in Canada, it really takes the guess work out of dressing for school.
