Baggy school pants? Hard pass. Head to your local school uniform shop for tailoring tweaks—hem those grey school pants to kiss your ankles, or nip a blazer at the waist for that corporate uniform edge. Pro tip: SA’s school uniform suppliers often do cheap adjustments. Saggy hems are so 2009.

Cape Town’s wind hitting different? Throw a school jersey under your blazer for cozy-cool vibes. Swap to a school tracksuit for PE and pop that collar like you’re chilling in Camps Bay. Bonus: Layers hide Monday’s vetkoek grease stains.

Accessorize on the Low-Key

A slick watch, funky socks under black school pants, or a subtle chain? Yes. Keep it sneaky—like a nanny uniform’s practicality with a side of sass. Even security uniform pros know: Details scream swag.

Colour Crush Without the Clown Vibes
