School uniform for girls in the Soviet era. On the waves of our memory! Soviet school uniform

And autumn, as you know, begins on September 1st. And it's a school holiday, well, anyway, it's a holiday for those who go to school for the first time. So for Vovka it was a real holiday, he really wanted to go to school, although he did not yet know what was there and how it would be at this school, but he felt that everything should be great! He will have to learn to read and write like his elder brother, and then he will read. Yes, he will read himself, and not just listen to radio plays and look at pictures in books or wait for someone to read an interesting book to him. He had long imagined, from the very winter, how he would enter new school, which is being built in the yard, when he sits down at a new desk, he opens the alphabet and ... Of course, he already knew the letters from the alphabet, almost everything, but he hadn’t learned to read yet, somehow it didn’t work out. But in school, you will learn!
And he really wanted to dress in a new, personally bought, school suit with a white shirt and pick up his own, personal, school bag. About two weeks ago, he and his parents walked around the school market and looked at a variety of school items: notebooks, pens, pencils, plasticine and other school supplies, everything was beautiful and interesting, but most of all he looked at where the school uniform was sold. There, on hangers, suits and white shirts with emblems on the sleeves hung and attracted them like a magnet. Vovka was afraid to even think that now his parents would pass by this beauty, and he would have to go to school in what he had, in what his older brother had once worn, and he so wanted to have his own personal thing, smelling of the freshness of novelty. He was silent and furtively glanced at his parents - they will pass by or stop.
They stopped and the father said:
- Well, cockerel, choose your suit and shirt.
After these words, everything in him turned upside down and it seemed that the whole world was silent, waiting for his choice ...
Vovka proudly carried a new purchase wrapped in white crisp paper in front of him like a flag, and it seemed to him that everyone around was looking only at him, understanding his joy and rejoicing with him, and the sun was shining and warming in a special way : Brighter and warmer than ever. He felt very happy that he wanted to run in circles and jump on one leg, and maybe even just fly up into the air. But he, as befits a man, with difficulty restraining his emotions, pretending to be calm, moved with a quick step towards the house, though faster than if his mother had called him home from the street, three or four times faster, so he was impatient for everything dress it up and walk "dandy" around the apartment.
Then, when his parents went to work for days, Vovka dressed up and walked around the apartment for a long time in a new school uniform, getting used to the role of a first grader, rehearsing his walk in front of a mirror, talking to his reflection, proving something to him. And only when the cries of friends were heard from the street, calling him to leave, he carefully took off his uniform, carefully placed it in a wardrobe, and only then, quickly dressed in everyday clothes, jumped out of the apartment into the street.

The Soviet school uniform, in fact, is an analogue of the gymnasium uniform of Tsarist Russia. She also consisted of a dress and an apron, white in holidays, and black on weekdays. For elementary school the color of the dress was brown, for students high school- blue and green for high school students. At the balls, older girls appeared in white dresses.
In 1920, it was customary for all high school girls to wear a brown dress and apron. Only rich people could afford such a uniform, so wearing this uniform was considered a bourgeois relic. There was even a contemptuous nickname "high school student".

A unified Soviet school uniform in our country was introduced in the era of Stalin. The USSR school uniform for boys was gray and consisted of trousers and a shirt, like a soldier's tunic. This was complemented by a wide belt with a massive buckle and a cap with a cockade.

The USSR school uniform for girls still consisted of a brown dress and an apron. The dress was brown, perhaps because this color matches the business environment, helps to concentrate, does not distract attention from study.

In the era of Stalin, strict morals reigned in our country. This also applies to school life. Even small experiments with the style or length of the dress were severely punished by the school administration. In addition, it was obligatory for girls to wear braids with bows. No haircuts were allowed.

In the 1960s, the Soviet school uniform for boys changed.

On September 1, 1962, first grade boys went to school in a gray wool blend suit - trousers and a single-breasted jacket with three black plastic buttons.

And in the seventies there were changes again

Now for students lower grades it began to consist of a jacket and trousers in dark blue. The trousers became narrower, and the jacket resembled a modern denim jacket in its style. The buttons were metal white color. They were made from aluminium. On the sleeve of the jacket was sewn an emblem of soft plastic with a drawn open textbook and a rising sun.

And in (or in) Ukraine, the school uniform for boys was brown

In the early 1980s, a uniform for high school students was introduced. (This uniform began to be worn from the eighth grade). Girls from first to seventh grade wore a brown dress, as in the previous period. Only it became slightly above the knees.
For boys, trousers and jackets were replaced with pantsuit. The fabric color was still blue. Also blue was the emblem on the sleeve.

Very often the emblem was cut off, as it did not look very aesthetically pleasing, especially after some time - the paint on the plastic began to wear off.

The Soviet school uniform for high school students was quite good quality and was inexpensive. Men willingly bought it as clothes for work. Therefore, the USSR school uniform for high school students fell, in those days, into the category of shortage.

For girls, a blue three-piece suit was introduced in 1984, consisting of an A-line skirt with pleats at the front, a jacket with patch pockets and a vest. The skirt could be worn either with a jacket, or with a vest, or the whole suit at once. In 1988, Leningrad, regions of Siberia and the Far North were allowed to wear blue trousers in winter. Also, it was possible for girls to wear a pioneer uniform, which consisted of a dark blue skirt, a white blouse with short or long sleeves and a pioneer tie.

A mandatory addition to the school uniform, depending on the age of the student, was the October badge (in the elementary grades), pioneer (in the middle grades) or Komsomol (in the senior grades) badges. Pioneers were also required to wear a pioneer tie.

In addition to the regular pioneer badge, there was a special variant for pioneers active in community service. It was slightly larger than usual and had the inscription "For active work" on it. And the badge of the senior pioneer, which was a regular pioneer badge against the background of a red banner.
