No no let's talk about British school and nurse uniforms! :D
See, having spent time in several uniformed lands: communist Romania, Bahamas and Toronto too, I got to develop a certain sensibility, seeded for sure by having grown up as a People's Pioneer: dark blue suit and cap, white shirt (with epaulettes) and tomato red scarf.
"The Britisher's Art of the Uniform", sounds like an after lunch hobby project for a lascivious repressed gentleman. And am I gonna become one? :)
