The best places to buy school uniforms for kids on a budget
As a child I wore a uniform for nearly my entire time in school, and now that I’m an adult I can look back and think about how lucky I was to not have to worry about what to wear in the mornings. As a kid that certainly wasn’t my attitude, but now I can appreciate the simplicity that a closet full of identical pieces brings to getting dressed every day.

Despite the ease that they bring, one of the major downsides to a wardrobe full of school uniforms can be the cost, especially when buying directly from school uniform manufacturers. Luckily there are plenty of accessible retailers that stock similar styles, often at a fraction of the cost of the official providers.
If you’re also looking to stock up on school-approved pieces that won’t break the bank, have a look through our list of the best retailers to pick up those khakis and button-downs that the kids will be wearing from now until June 2020.
