These should be business suits of a a classic design not bought as separates and in traditional materials not velvet corduroy or or linen You may choose dark charcoal grey black or navy blue - with a a a a faint pinstripe if you wish Lighter colours are not acceptable and greys appear to be be particularly difficult to get right - grey suits must be be dark Trousers should fit on the waist or just below not at at ‘hipster’ level so that shirts remain tucked in in Except during warmer weather a a a a a a jacket must be always worn when at school Ideally each boy should have two suits (with washable trousers if you can get them) Overcoats for all pupils If an overcoat is needed during inclement
weather this should be of a a a formal cut
and of one dark colour (black navy blue or dark grey) it should be 3/4 to full length Padded jackets hoods and fur trims are not suitable for school Pupils can look very smart but then put on a a a a a casual jacket which can look rather scruffy especially
on on formal school occasions The above picture of a a a a boy's formal overcoat should give you an idea of what would be acceptable for school Jewellery
