Frequently Asked Questions

SHOPPING & ORDERING

How do I purchase new uniform pieces?

Your school has partnered with COLOURS Uniforms as the official provider of school uniforms. Visit www.WearCOLOURS.com, select your school from the dropdown, and you'll see your school's collection organized by grade level.

When can I start ordering uniforms for the 2026/2027 academic year?

Uniform ordering will open mid July 2026. Your school will confirm the exact launch date.

What is the seasonal drop schedule?

Uniforms are released in two seasonal drops:

  • Fall Drop: Includes all core items needed for the start of the school year.
  • Winter Drop: Features cold-weather pieces such as outerwear and layering options, timed to arrive later in the season.

This phased approach helps families avoid over-ordering and better plan for seasonal needs.

What sizes do you offer?

COLOURS Uniforms provides an inclusive size range designed to fit students from co-ed grades TK-12. Sizes are standardized across all categories, so once you find your size, it should remain consistent across garments.

What's the difference between Girls sizing and Teen sizing?

Girls sizing is similar to youth sizing and is generally tied to age. For example, a Girls Large (L) is designed to fit an average 10-12-year-old. These sizes are ideal for younger students and follow a more traditional children's size scale.

 

Teen sizing, on the other hand, is closer to women's adult sizing in terms of fit and proportions. If your child typically wears junior or women's sizes, Teen sizing may be more appropriate.

How do I know what size to order?

Each product page includes a size chart and clear fit guidance. We also feature on-body photos, with the model's height and the size she's wearing noted, so you can compare against your own student for a better sense of fit.

Can I try on uniforms before ordering?

Not at this time — but most sizing questions come down to one choice: Girls or Teen. Girls sizing follows youth sizing and is tied to age. Teen sizing is closer to women's proportions. If your student wears kids' sizes, start with Girls; if they're already in junior or women's sizes, start with Teen.

 

From there, check the size chart on each product page. Fit varies by style, so a student's size in one item won't always be their size in another, the chart on each page reflects that specific item. Product photos also show the model's height and size worn, which can help you gauge fit.

 

If something doesn't fit, you have 30 days from delivery to return it for a full refund. Not sure where to start? Email info@wearcolours.com with your student's height and current size and we'll tell you what to order.

Will all items remain in stock throughout the year?

We forecast demand to keep required uniform items in stock. Novelty, limited-edition, and other non-required items are produced in limited quantities and may sell out without restock. If a required item is unavailable, email us at info@wearcolours.com and we'll be happy to assist.

What is the shipping turnaround time?

Orders are fulfilled from our distribution center in Downtown Los Angeles. Most orders ship within 3-5 business days, and tracking information is provided once the order is on its way.


RETURNS

Returns received within 30 days of delivery are eligible for a full refund to your original payment method. Returns received between 31 and 60 days are eligible for store credit.

Return shipping is the customer's responsibility, except when the return is due to a COLOURS error (damaged, defective, wrong item, or wrong size), in which case COLOURS covers the cost.

 

If you need a different size, you don't have to wait for your refund — place the new order whenever you're ready and send the original back separately.

ORDER PROTECTION

COLOURS Uniforms provides the option for our customers to purchase order protection on all orders during the checkout process.

What is Order Protection?

OrderProtection.com covers your order against loss, theft, and damage that occurs during shipping. If something goes wrong in transit, you can quickly file a claim in a few clicks and receive a refund or reshipment if approved. To protect your order, make sure Order Protection is toggled on in your cart.

 

If you receive the wrong item, a defective item, or are missing an item from your order, these are handled directly by our team rather than through Order Protection. Please contact us at info@wearcolours.com or start a return, and we'll take care of it.

How much does Order Protection cost?

Order Protection can cost up to 3% of the value of your order.

How long does it take for my claim to get resolved?
