Figure 1.--TYies were once very common at New Zealand schools. Many New Zealand secondary schools, especially the state schools, now do not require ties. Even so, 'V' neck sweaters continue to be worn. |

The two basic options at New Zealand schools of course were ties or open collars. The open-collar option has become much more common in recent years as casual uniform gradually replaced the more formal British styles. This is especially the case in the state schools. We see ties more commonly in the Catholic and private schools. And unlike the state schools, the primry children also wear uniforms. But even in the private schools ties are becoming less common as the trend toward casual uniform styles become more pronounced. Most schools have 'V'-neck sweaters because ties were once so common. The sweaters were usualy 'V'-necks even at schools where ties were not worn. We did note boys at one school wearing turtle-neck shorts.
