When I was at school, which was only a few years ago, the school I was at banned the wearing of shorts in the summer months. There were some really hot summers, and me and my friends felt sweaty and manky in trousers but the school wouldn't relax the dress code.

Funnily when I went to school back in the days, we would have been happy if the uniform allowed something other than shorts... :D

When I was in grammar school, we had no air conditioning (like they do now) and we could wear anything BUT shorts. The guys wore slacks and the girls wore skirts. Blue shorts were reserved for gym classes only.

All through grammar school and into the second half of my sophomore year of high school, girls had to wear skirts and dresses. Both genders in grammar school wore shorts only in gym class.

When we hit high school, the rules were somewhat relaxed and girls and guys could wear jeans and slacks. Then the rules were relaxed ever further and the girls showed up in "Hot pants" outfits (yes, I had a couple I wore) and the guys wore shorts in and out of gym when it was hot. It has been a cold and wet spring the past two years, but the school (my old grammar one) in the back of my alley must have really relaxed the rules in this generation. I see the kids in navy blue slacks and shorts running in the yard. (I heard somewhere that the kids have to wear this color as a sort of uniform.)
Are the girls allowed to wear them?
@CereBellum I don't think the question was a thing then, as the girls were in skirts, I don't think anyone asked; but I do remember in winter, girls were allowed to wear trousers (in uniform colours)
@debbiescianni1 parochial school ?

Both sexes are wearing them. No,this is a public school. We have a parochial one about four blocks to the east, but the girls wear skirts and brown/red plaid.

Yes, for sure. Shorts are more usual nowadays and many young people and not only wear them
