# OwnTheBlazer

无论是格子、格子、带有肘部贴片的灯芯绒，还是经典的海军蓝，这些年来，贝博体彩app运动夹克的形式多种多样，但它一直是贝博体彩app着装规范的基础。 从三年级开始，男生必须穿海军蓝或黑色西装外套，女生也必须从五年级开始穿同样的衣服。

 

在贝博体育社区的学生中，运动夹克已经成为地位上升和成熟的象征。 “I feel like I’m older when I wear my blazer,” says sixth grader Charlotte Crawford ’21, who joined 贝博体育 way back in 幼儿园, when a polo shirt sufficed to meet the 小学 dress code. “In sixth grade, you wear a blazer with everyone else, and it means you’re one of the leaders of the 较低的学校.”

 

如果你想知道学生们穿西装是否会觉得呆板和正式，你只需要观察一下低年级的课间休息。 在球场的另一边，你可以看到海军蓝运动夹克被重新设计成野餐毯、棒球垒和足球球门轮廓的标记。 Soccer teams are frequently organized into blazers vs. non-blazers, and when recess is over, the blazers—and their owners—are dusted off to head back to class.

 

学生们欣赏运动上衣和着装规范是一种时尚均衡器。 “I don't have to worry about not fitting in because when I look down the hallway, everyone is pretty much wearing the same thing as me,” says Emily Randolph ’19. “I like having a dress code because it makes getting dressed in the morning so much easier.”

 

我们的许多学生不仅没有限制他们的时尚感，甚至觉得西装外套和着装要求只会增加他们的风格。 “I've always enjoyed dressing up, just to look sharp and be ready for whatever event I'm going to,” says seventh grade boarder Ezra Frain ’20. “Learning how to dress properly is also very useful. I’ve learned, for example, from my mother, father, and Mr. Duggar, that you don't wear a different colored belt with your brown or black shoes.”

 

对于贝博体育app的学生来说，运动上衣是有色人种团队自豪感的象征。 Every year on Prize Day, the outgoing red and white color presidents pass along their team’s red and white jackets to the incoming color presidents. 就像在奥古斯塔国家球场（Augusta National）穿上传奇的绿夹克一样，这种具有象征意义的运动上衣的传递是一种充满传统和骄傲的仪式。 “It is an honor to wear such a well-known blazer,” says Red Color President Shane Kelly ’18. “I get to represent my color team while looking sharp, and although the blazer may be massive on me, the Red Team gets excited every time they see the blazer come out of the dry cleaning bag.”

 

对于贝博体育app的校友来说，一件简单的海军蓝西装外套可以引发深刻的回忆。 “I remember buying blazers for my daughters for the first time. I was so excited, and they thought I was crazy,” says Rachel Sandler Diamond ’87, mother of Catherine ’15 and Sarah ’19. “It brought me back to my blazer and my time at 贝博体彩app. I'm so grateful my children have the opportunity to walk in my childhood shoes as part of the 贝博体育app community.”

 

至于未来，谁知道我们的学生会为他们的西装外套找到什么新的用途，或者会有什么样的时尚迭代？ It’s clear, however, that generations of 贝博体育 students to come will continue to # OwnTheBlazer.
