Clothing in the UK

In the UK you will see people wearing all kinds of clothing – from smart to casual, eccentric to traditional.

School children usually wear a uniform until the age of 16. For older students, UK schools, colleges and universities are typically informal environments where you can choose what to wear. For classes, students tend to wear casual clothes, such as jeans, T-shirts, jumpers and dresses.

Some courses require you to wear specialist clothing for health and safety. For example if you are in a science laboratory, you may need to wear protective glasses and a white lab coat.

For parties and nights out, people dress in many different styles, from casual jeans to glamorous outfits.

If it's a more formal evening event, such as a university ball, this might mean wearing a dress or suit and tie. You can avoid the expense of buying formal wear by hiring it from a local shop or outfitters.

The weather in the UK is rarely extreme, but it can change quickly. In just one day, you might have warm sunshine, rain and cold wind. Wear several layers so you can put them on or take them off as the weather changes, and always carry an umbrella. The UK is a multicultural place and it is common for people to wear clothing associated with their culture and religion, for example a head scarf, kippah, turban, sari or long skirt. In major towns and cities you will find specialist shops selling clothing from around the world, particularly Asian and Middle Eastern clothing.

Most UK towns and cities have a large range of shops selling clothes to suit all styles and budgets. As well as high-street shops, there are plenty of second-hand and vintage shops. These are perfect for bargain-hunting and are often found in student areas.
