Vest or T-shirt under the shirt?
Coat, scarf, etc. :dontknow:
Put a coat on or wear a vest or wear thick tights or leggings with your skirt or wear tights under your trousers or wear thermals. The possibilities are endless.

Wear tights or very long socks under your trousers. Wear very thick tights (2 pairs?) when you wear a skirt. Also wear a few white long sleeve t-****s under your shirt (can probably pick up a few in Primark). Aren't you allowed to wear a coat too?

Thermal undies. Keep your junk warm and you can't go wrong.

Wear something under the shirt, such as a vest or t-shirt (make it plain so they can't shout lol). Carry gloves/scarf/hat/whatever you can fit in your blazer pickets for walking between lessons (unless you're allowed bags in which case use that).

Does your uniform not allow black jumpers underneath the blazer? At my school this was allowed, it was just that you weren't allowed to wear it INSTEAD of a blazer, only as well as.

And of course take a thick coat for walking to and from school, plus woolens. And wear thick winter socks.

If you wear a skirt get really really thick tights or depending on your shoes and how strict they are you might get away with leggings. With trousers you can wear tights or leggings underneath them.

just wear a hoodie and tell them its cold when they have a go

Isn't wearing a coat an obvious option in winter? Why don't you?

Put on extra layers underneath your uniform. It might make you look a bit fat, but you can just point out their eyeballs are shivering from the cold and so they can't see properly. Worked for me :smile:

Surely you have a school jumper?
layer up

use thermals, coat, scarf, hat, gloves..the works

Go naked; your clothing won't be trapping any cold layers of air then.

Seriously, can't you think of putting a coat and a pair of gloves on by yourself?
underwear......white vest......long sleeve cotton t-shirt.....white blouse....jumper.....blazer.....coat......gloves....scarf.....hat.....
wooly black tights (maybe multiple).....or lots of socks underneith your tights

just keep warm anyway you can.....:smile:

T-shirt/thick vest underneath your top. Tight/leggings underneath your skirt. A coat/jumper on top.

You should get a warm coat, then hat, gloves, scarf, sweater. For under your uniform wear a thin thermal tshirt, leggings, tights.

Go to or order online heat tech from UNIQLO
its really good japanese clothing which keeps you warmer by using your body temperature trust me it works get the tshirt and leggings they should be on promotion
its ultra thin and light so it won't feel like your wearing too much and you can wear it under uniform as your a girl you can also get heat tech gloves and socks

so it uses your bodies moisture to keep you warm while trapping the warm air close to your skin to keep the heat

as a uniqlo employee go buy some today seriously its good stuff

I've had the same problem for years, because my school is an old, draughty 11th century building. I got round it by wearing a vest and a thin top underneath my blouse (thermal vests really help); tights under my trousers when I wore them; and keeping my coat on in classes. Wearing gloves, a scarf, and a hat outside helps because if those parts of your body are cold it spreads.

Hope this helped!
