For a lot of people, a plaid skirt is synonymous with a uniform. I wore a lovely red, white, and navy blue plaid patterned pinafore as a child, and then graduated into polo shirts in middle school.
At that time I was also going through my emo phase, as most preteens are. It was challenging to be a young emo in religious school; Instead of being able to wear the black that I so desired, I had to settle for navy blue.
Anyways, this post is not about my experiences in Christian school, nor is it about going through your emo phase in a school uniform. Keep reading to see how to draw fashion inspiration from a Catholic school uniform!
One of my favorite simple outfits is a plain black shirt and a plaid patterned skirt.
Here are two examples:

Both of these outfits are relatively simple, consisting of only a high waisted skirt and a black long sleeve shirt. In the second picture, you can see the top of the model's knee high socks.
Knee high socks are a staple of the Catholic School look. I wear my white over the knee socks way too much, but any plain color works. '
Want more than just a basic outfit? Keep the plaid skirt and look below for inspiration.

The model in this picture has the classic Catholic uniform type of skirt, but they dress it up. Simple changes add a lot. Instead of a plain black tee, they chose a graphic tee. Add a cute belt and a denim jacket and there you go!
I'm partial towards leather jackets myself, which would also look amazing for an edgier vibe.
Penny loafers are perfect if you want the Catholic vibe to encompass you head to toe.

I used to love putting actual pennies in my penny loafers as a kid!
