Skirts/Trousers

This part of the Hogwarts Uniform can be rather easy if you know where to look. The lower part of the uniform consists of a simple light charcoal gray dress slacks for boys, and a knife pleated (accordian style) skirt of the same colour for girls.

These can easily be found at any School Uniform Supplier. Many times there are shops in your area that will carry just what you need. Here, however, the schools don't wear gray, but navy blue. So I had to result in special ordering my skirt. You can also search on the internet through search engines like Google.com. There are millions of places to find the right uniform bottoms. The skirts can range anywhere from $10 to above $50.

Great uniform sites for the trousers and skirt are:

Shirts

Shirts for the Hogwarts Uniform is probably the easiest part to find. You can search any clothing shop and find a simple white button down dress shirt with a collar. You can buy an expensive shirt, or a cheap shirt. Doesn't really matter, the shirt is barely seen at all. You can also find these at school uniform suppliers, or just your every day Wal-Mart.



Shoes and Socks

Shoes are simple for the boys. All you need are a normal pair of black shoes, preferably loafers of dress shoes of sorts. You don't want to use black tennis shoes. Pair them with a pair of black or dark grey socks, and you'll be set.

Girls' shoes are a bit harder. The Hogwarts Uniform calls for Girls to wear a black pair of Mary Jane's. Basically, a dress shoe with an open top and buckle over it. They go in and out of style, but can almost ALWAYS be found for little girls. Those of us who are... "older" have more of a problem. Occassionally, you will find Mary Janes offered in the Women's Sizes. Just search local shoe stores (I just recently found THE PERFECT PAIR at Payless!), or try a search on the internet. If you still can't find a pair, try taking a normal pair of black pumps, attach a black ribbon to the insides where the straps on Mary Janes would be found. And Voila! You have instant imitation Mary Janes. Wear these over a pair of grey knee socks, and you have the basics for the PS/CoS School Uniform!
