School uniforms in Scotland continue to be worn at most schools. There had been few changes in the styles. Elementary boys generaly wear sweaters to school while secondary boys commonly wear black blazers. The few changes that have occurred include caps and short pants. Caps as in England disappeard. Short pants tended to be worn at much shorter lengths. Even some private secindary schools in the 1970s still had short pnts uniforms. Since the 1980s most Scottish boys now wear long pants rather than shorts, but shorts were still worn at quite a number of primary schools. Some of the more traditional styles were retained at private schools. Many prep schools still had short pants uniforms in the 1980s. Scottish prep schools unlike English schools often had brightly colored kneesocks rather than the traditional grey. Even at these schools, however, by the late 1980s traditional uniform styles had begun to disappear. Caps in particular had become very rare and even prep schools had begun to specify long rather than short pants.
