The stereotypical Catholic school uniform consists of a plaid pleated skirt, Mary Janes, and a blouse for girls; a shirt, tie, and slacks for boys. Both usually wear a blazer when required by regulations or weather. Actual school uniforms vary widely by location and individual school. Some schools still require girls to wear skirts, while others permit them to wear the boys' uniform.
It is used in Catholic schools, and most of the schools make the uniforms mandatory. In recent times, it has become more common for female students to wear uniform shorts or slacks instead of the skirt. This is partially because of the pop-culture association between the uniform and the stereotypical sex-crazed Catholic schoolgirl.
In the younger grades of such schools, girls often are required to wear plaid jumpers over a blouse. At some grade level, the jumper is discarded in favor of a plaid skirt. Boys typically wear a shirt with collar, tie, and slacks of required colors.
Among the major manufacurers of such uniforms are Royal Park Uniforms of North Carolina, Dennis Uniforms, and French Toast.
In England, similar uniforms are generally worn in Church of England schools.
Women dressed in Catholic school uniforms are a common sexual fetish.
The girls' uniform has become an iconic figure in Western culture, on par with the sailor fuku of Japan.
