School uniforms in the Philippines: prices and what schools require

Updated 31 October 2026

A basic school uniform piece in the Philippines costs about ₱100 to ₱300, and a pleated skirt or school dress about ₱1,400 to ₱1,800, according to sellers' websites, October 2026. To get current offers for your child's uniform, send a request on BlaBlaPrice: the AI asks for the size, colour and budget, then shows the sellers and price lists it finds.

Local rules and what to check

Under DepEd Order No. 41, series of 2012, public-school students are not required to wear a school uniform. Ask your child's school for its written requirements, including colours and items, before you buy a full set. The older Act No. 3859 says that school uniforms must never be made of silk, wool or other expensive material.

Season and fabric in a hot climate

The climate is hot all year, with a wet season and a dry season instead of winter and summer, so a uniform needs breathable fabric that dries quickly. Choose cotton or a cotton blend for the hot months, and buy a second set for the rainy season. Trousers and skirts with a stretch panel or an adjustable waist are common in the listings and suit children who are still growing.

How sizes and delivery work here

Listings give sizes by age, such as 3 to 14 years or 9 to 18 years, so measure the child's height in centimetres and check it against the seller's size chart. Ask whether delivery to your city is included, because listed prices are per piece. In the request, write the items, height or size, colour, school requirements, fabric, new or used, budget and delivery city.

Requests are free for buyers. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice receive the request and reply in the chat with their own offer, including price, terms and delivery. Your contacts stay hidden until you decide to exchange them. Browse Children's clothing or Girls' clothing, or create a request on the home page.
