My school uniform was brown, and there is no way on earth I would ever wear it!

My uniform was bottle green too but I don't think I have ever worn that shade since.

My uniform was grey. I love wearing grey but hated my school.

I very rarely buy green due to school uniform! We also had to wear bright daffodil yellow shirt-waisters in the summer shock

We had to wear “ scapulas” over a navy uniform, finished with a shapeless camel coat.
No girl no matter how beautiful could “ rock” this look.
The nuns were very clever, I think most of us graduated as virgins?

For over half a century I have been reluctant to wear royal blue which was the colour of my school blazer. And yet, if I do wear it, I find it suits me very well.

I wore bottle green uniform but it's never put me off wearing green.

It may not seem a big deal to some, but yesterday I bought a
Fine knit navy blue jumper.....and I love it.This is the first navy blue thing I have worn since my schooldays, when my primary school uniform was navy, and so was my upper school uniform, navy blue for all those years put me off for life.It’s a kinder colour than black for older women but just as good and I now wish I had bought navy things 20 years ago.
Anyone else put off by school uniform ( brown, bottle green
Maroon?)
