C'est le mois de La Rentrée ou le retour à l'école, au collège, au lycée ou à l'université.
Partout en France des millions d'etudiants de tous âges se préparent pour le debut de l'année scolaire.

L'uniforme scolaire ne se porte pas en France, et les étudiants peuvent choisir leurs fringues (dans des limites raisonnables).
En principe on préfère porter un jean, un pull ou un t-shirt surtout pendants les mois d'hiver.
