Some days ago, while reading an article in the Ryukyu "Okinawa prefecture report that skirt length of the designated uniform of the junior high and high school students in 20 years became 4~5 centimeter shorter” news report.


I heard that the Uniform skirt length is 4~5 centimeters longer for 20 years, but it's not a "personal adjustment" regards the uniform and after school dressing, so it isn't quite a big change about the skirt length of "designation uniform"?



Then, is Metropolitan area also a similar trend with Tokyo and Okinawa.

According to a school uniform tailor store [KURI - ORI] "Recently the longest are made ( The width of the belt is not included.) the fixed designation uniform skirt length is up to 81 centimeters. The shortest skirt length is 42 centimeters,".

At this time the 80's uniform fashion must make a change apon the previous standards, the design which becomes less cute is familiar known to present as "in a jacket with plain color, skirt with check patterns" was a basic.

"Female senior high school student's short skirt was a "basic" and is never been related to fashion of the ladies' wear at that time."


Incidentally uniform after the 70's there were very few schools continues the sailor suit or still adopting the sailor suit as an established school uniform, only with place which is from the old days such as prewar days.


By the way what kind of style is the present basic popularity?



"It's a skirt with check patterns in a blazer with plain color (the popularity is dark blue in particular, dark gray). It's quiet popular with students, teacher and school, and the tendency of a manly image is also seen, suiting the upper and lower plain color is also increasing. slenderness is liked by the silhouette of the jacket,".


Also, recently, woman uniform that adopted the chino pants and polo shirt, whether or not they are increasing even the school is able to accept slacks.
