haha Aki, you're funny. Since us Americans don't have uniforms, generally we end up spending quite a bit on school clothes. There is a fine line to walk between making sure your kids have cool fashionable clothes so they don't get picked on, and making sure they don't become fashion victims. I ended up spending about $250 on each of my kids this year, but they also had a big growth spurt over the summer so nothing fits anymore.

3xshirts $75
3xshorts$ 24
4xtracksuit pants(winter) $25
2xjumpers(winter)$14
2xlong sleeve tops (winter) $10
Plus shoes and socks $50
so that would equal just under $200 for the year but most will fit again next year. (except shoes and socks which will bring it up another $50+
She is at an australia public school in prep. I'm so glad I don't have to buy expensive private school uniforms and ours are unisex too, so my son can use all of it when he starts in 2.5yrs

In Australia they have school uniform so the price is set. I try to buy 3 winter uniforms and three summer (2 dress and a top and skort) (son, 3 tops and 3 shorts)

I try to get my sons as cheaply as possible seeing as he grows out of things so quickly, I go to Asda and can normally get a couple of pairs of trousers, 2 jumpers and shirts for about £25. I'm lucky his uniform is very basic but when he goes to high school in another year it's going to cost me a fortune.

well, if you get all the uniform from Coes, it costs me about £60-£100
Then the school requires you have a certain type of P.E kit, which is an extra £80-£100
It's ridiculas really.
Of course, Americans don't need to spend more than $50, so they're alright there.
