Boys in Uniform

It's been a while since I've drawn, thus the body isn't well portioned  

I have a fond in boys dressed in proper uniform. They send me weak to my knees, and ultimately, I'm just a softy when it comes to it.

This picture is inspired by a group of boys I saw in Milsons Point when I was having my almuerzo at a local food-court. Although it's their daily attire, I couldn't help but notice how neat and fashionable they appeared. My (boy) friends commented saying it looks "weird wearing shorts". But I think that's it! The blazer, v-neck jumper, leather shoes, and unbelievably combed hair do co-operate with each other well, aesthetically; yet, the knee length shorts and high end socks are the pinnacle of the attire in my opinion. It's what sets the image of a high-class school boy in immediate perfection.

I may perhaps be in thorough detail with the whole uniform appearance, but I did set aside a long moment to admire something like this, which is scarce to find in the part of Sydney that I live. In my area, pants reach the end of their bottom, ties are always loose, and jumpers are far bigger than needed. I don't want to complain, but honestly, where have these cleanly dressed gentlemen gone to? It says so much about their personal grooming.
