Why do some of the girls wear blue ties but others wear red ones?

I don't know. I've wondered that too. Some wear blue sweaters with red ties and others wear red vests with blue ties. Blair always wore a red vest and blue tie. I don't think I ever saw here wear a blue sweater and red tie. Natalie always wore a blue sweater and red tie. I never saw her wear a red vest and blue tie except very briefly in one Season 4 episode. Strangely, though, Jo and Tootie wore both uniforms at different times in different episodes. Very unusual.

I am a fairly new fan of the show so these unusual questions like this will arise.

Thanks

Maybe the upper class or higher grade had to wear different colors. Or maybe they got to pick their uniform styles.

I don't think the tie-color had any signficance in terms of being an upper or lower classman. Tootie is wearing a blue tie (with the red vest) in a couple of S2 episodes. I think it was just a matter of having some variety/options within the uniform.

What I have noticed is that Blair wore her Eastland blazer far more frequently than the others (I can't recall Jo ever wearing one). I think it was partly because Blair tended to dress a little more formally, period, but also to give Lisa "longer-line" and make her appear a little slimmer. Simlarly, I also noticed that around S3, the red vest changed from a three-button vest, to slightly longer four-button vest....again, for a more slimming look.
