THERE'S a vast gap between what parents would like their children to wear for school and what children choose.

And, as schools return this week, there's could well be a daily tussle as those independently-minded modern youngsters get ready each day.

Adams Childrenswear, the national store chain, decided to go for the best of both worlds. They asked mums and dads AND children before marketing their current season ranges.

The results are here: kids' choices of uniform and the parents' selection. Which do you think will win?
