When it comes to buying uniform, you may want to take the following study into account - as it claims that bright white shirts can help your child perform better.

She said: "The association that people tend to have with white shirts seems to be that the wearer is more professional, and successful than those not wearing such attire, meaning that when they dress in such clothes it improves their performance.
