Who remembers wearing short trousers at senior school

I wore them at school until I was nearly 15. However I continued to wear a grey short trouser suit so occasionally still wore short trousers with my uniform at school.

Yes until 14 and at home for a year after that.

I did. You are right it seems like a thing of the past. Shame though I loved those shorts.

Didn't see them in my day either, not past the Second Year of senior school. Most boys were in longs before the end of that year - I was one the last few to be in shorts until then. It put me off wearing shorts until really, quite recently.

Hell ye we all did

I have never heard of short trousers . It was just shorts or trousers .

I remember it very well. I went to a Catholic boy's high school. The uniform was very strict and the same rules applied for all boys regardless of their seniority. Summer uniform dictated shorts and long socks and the winter uniform required long trousers. There was very little tolerance for not wearing correct uniform. The shorts were typical for the time (mid 60s to early 70s) and came down to about mid thigh. I remember I would plead with my mother to buy new shorts as growth had the getting shorter and shorter very quickly!

You don't even see that many in shorts at primary school.

I like shorter shorts as they show off my muscular thighs very nicely! 😺

We did till we turned 14. Was common. We were laughed at when we arrived in long pants.

when I was at school almost everyone wore shorts at school. For the last few decades it has only been primary school children who were allowed to wear shorts. They seem to have come back into fashion for teenagers recently, but it is mostly girls who wear them at primary school.

Hell no..

I wore board shorts
