Its so hard to believe it is nearly time for the kids to go back to school. If any of you are like me and leave everything to the last minute hopefully this post will help you get the last few bits and pieces sorted!
The basics
I really think the key with school uniforms is good quality basics. When you think about it, these clothes are in almost daily use and will no doubt take plenty of hard wearing. The M&S trousers come with a range of different options including adjustable wait, crease-resistant and with the stormwear technology which helps to repeal the dirt and mud stains as well as keeping dry in the rain. They come in a range of colours and combinations of the above options. For example see here. Similarly with the skirts. They also come with the stormwear technology, adjustable waistband and variants of the different types of pleats. Link here.
Whether its shirts or polos you are after M&S have a great unisex range in a wide range of sizes – see here for the range of non-iron shirts!! I’m all about non-iron!! Again all the M&S school stock come in a range of colours.
Coats
While most definitely a basic, this deserves a whole category to itself. My mother always said, a good coat was crucial and I follow that advice with my own boys. I have picked out my own favourites below. Most of the coats come with Stormwear to keep the rain out and to repeal the mud and dirt. Links for each are underneath. Starting from left to right.
- Padded Jacket – see here
- Pink coat – see here
- Black padded coat (comes in other colours) – see here
- Cars print jacket – see here (this one is currently reduced to €15 for €24, we have this one, its fab, go a size up as its quite small fitting.)
School bags
See opposite for some of my own picks. I attended the M&S press day back in June and as soon as I saw the Spiderman backpack I knew it would be a big hit in our house. The big man is superhero mad. There are other avengers ones in the range. For the whole range see here. The sale is currently on and some of the Frozen ones are on sale, good value reduced from €19 to €11.
Hope this post is of some help for those last minutes bits.
