British schoolboys wore ties to school. Both state and private schools required them. The ties were usually stripped in the school colors. Often prefects or boys who "won their colors" received the honor of wearing distinctive colors. This pattern was continued in New Zealand, but generally has been discarded in recent years. Boys at most state schools wear casual open collar shirts. Only a state secondary schools continue to require them, but many private schools still do, both prep schools and secondary schools. State elementary schools generally do not have uniforms, but Catholic schools do and ties are commonly worn there.
