Colombian school children look very typical. Plaid skirts for the girls, khaki pants for the boys, and a polo shirt for everyone. I figured that all uniformed children around the world looked that way. You might change the color combinations, but that's the look, right ? Then we got to Uruguay.
First, let's take a lookee at Uruguayan children of yesteryear. Knee-high stockings : check. Identical white lab coats with flaring hips : check. "Surely," you say, "these uniforms are clearly from the 12th century and look nothing like today's styles." Surely, indeed.
I can't even imagine why on Earth they would want to model their styles on, what looks to me like, lame painter's garb from another century. Probably someone like Monet or Manet.
I did find a couple of images of painters wearing these horrible Uruguayan hourglass coats :

| Exhibit A : Lilla Cabot Perry |

| Exhibit B : Pablo Picasso |
So at least two painters have worn similar atrocities. But they each obviously took it up a notch and added montruous bowties...and seemingly and deviously inspired the school fashions of the latest generation of children in Uruguay. Oh, the monsters !
