Ok this is a very random post I know but hey. My daughter is 4 and about to start reception - do girls wear short or long socks at school now? I know when I was little there came an age when you most certainly did NOT wear long socks (by that I mean white ones that come to just below your knee) cos if you did you became an object of ridicule. I am really not very fashion and trend conscious but know my daughter is going to struggle with tights and will not wear trousers unless I wish to have a full blow argument every morning so was concerned as to what to do when the weather gets colder. Oh and if they do wear long socks where do you get them from? Thanks

My daughter isn't at school yet but in my sons class the girls tend to wear long socks almost up to their knees with their skirts, dark blue to go with the uniform.

When DD wears winter uniform she wears grey knee heights or tights when it gets colder.
White socks or white knee heingts are only for summer uniform.
I never saw a girl with grey socks.

at my daughters school it is long white socks from September til Easter, then ankle socks from Easter Onward. I only buy socks from M&S these days as they wash well. We go through about 20 pairs because of accidents and staining

My dd wears grey knee high socks with her culottes, apparently it's her football kit! Also white ankle socks in the summer with either her culottes, skirt or summer dress, but definitely not white knee high socks! I remember the name calling from the days I wore them at school!

Hi , my eldest is 8 , and from my experience at school ( I'm 35) I swore I'd never put her in long socks , as when I was at school , it was a huge no no !!!!! However , she came home and asked for knee high sock not ankle length as all the other girls had knee highs !!!!! Can't keep up with it all!!!! I got some from Asda I think - but think lot of the supermarkets do them ( think got some grey ones from Primark as well ) they do seem to stay up fairly well - remember mine used to annoy me by falling down every 2 minutes !!!!!

Most girls in my kids school do and i love them, i think they looks so smart. When my kids go on visits we get a note asking to put girls in long socks if poss as it is considered to be smart and the school takes pride in being well represented.

My daughter wore normal white shirt ocks, but since her school changed into an Academy, she has to wear over the knee long back socks. It was a nightmare finding them, so bought some from amazon. I've found them in Tesco this year. Tights in the winter, she wears white socks with her striped school dress, as back ones don't look right. She wears the black socks with her gingham Scottish type skirt.

Thanks everyone - hopefully weather will be nice at the beginning of September and she can wear her ankle socks and the I can see what long socks the others are wearing and then get some. Think it will be either white or grey as red would look a bit shocking!!

My daughter has just started school and the majority of the girls are wearing short socks (the frilly topped ones are very popular just now), with some tights and some long socks appearing on cooler days. Tesco and Asda have great value packs of both the long and the short socks but supplies of the smaller sizes seem to be running a bit low now. Hope your daughter has a great time at school.

when mine were in reception to around y 3 they wore long white socks bought from asda they would wear the little ankle socks with the bows on them again from asda in the summer
as they got a bit older they started wearing long black socks and never wore summer uniform
when my youngest got in to y4 she decided she was not wearing skirts so pants were the order of the day I then got her short black socks so that during the summer she would not get to hot my girls are now both in high school and they are not allowed long socks ankle socks or tights

my daughter starts school in september and she will be wearing long grey socks. I love long white socks but they get so grubby that I was pleased when she chose grey. got them in asda. she has red tights for winter. she will wear short socks next year once the weather is warmer and she wears the gingham dress.
