為什麼香港校服是西式?

The answer is simple.

Before Hong Kong was colonized by the U.K., there was no school in Hong Kong. After that, schools were established either by the Government (like Queen's College in 1862) or religious groups (like Ying Wa College in 1818 by London Missionary Society, moved to Hong Kong from Malaysia in 1843).

This explains why school uniforms in Hong Kong are mostly western style.

An interesting knowledge - HKU was established in 1911. Although it is the oldest university in Hong Kong, it is not the oldest school in Hong Kong. Many secondary schools have a longer history than HKU.

bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

因為香港以前被英國統治，所以就是西式
西式很不錯啊~~很漂亮！

為什麼香港和臺灣的校服都是西方服式?
現代校服的潮流和趨勢傾向西方服裝為主,相反古老十八代的清朝長衫馬袴;很難被現代的學生所接受.就算現時世界各國官場的服裝都以西裝為主. 究其緣因人們的服裝都以隆重,簡便為潮流時髦,特別是男士和少女們.

香港的校服也不全是西式,有些女校,如培道,真光,協恩等,都是穿中式校服.至如男生的校服,因香港一向是英國殖民地,英國教育,很注重"紳士"的風度,所以,必便須穿西裝和結領帶了校服己用了多年,因傳統關係,一下子不易改變.
