Japanese School Girls

Its been snowing a bit lately and when it does snow, I always see school girls with warm coats but at the same time wearing not-so-warm short skirts down below which is part of their uniform.

Some may consider me a sexist when I say that I don't mind school girls wearing short skirts as part of their school uniform but also feel its unfair that they have to wear short skirts in the freezing cold too - contradicting heh?
But the skirts are cute and I wont lie to you about me liking them - have a look at Konomi-chans skirt for example.
While I saw girls in trousers back in the UK, I never see Japanese school girls in trousers so I'm guessing that the uniform rules are pretty strict.

If you could make some decisions in Japan regarding what school girls wear down below, what would you decide?

Images via Vipper. The girl getting off the bus photo looks like a scene from an anime ^^;

Was just about to hit enter to upload this post when a thought came across my mind - who invented the skirt anyway and why is it originally designed for girls? Or is it? I see some men from Scotland wearing skirts and those bits around Gundams waist is called the skirt too. Maybe skirts were originally designed for Gundams?

I honesly like the skirts, i would hae loved to have had a cute uniform like that during school, deciding what to where every day can be a hassle, and when you get made fun off for not following the latest trends is a horrible feeling. If everyone had the same uniform i'd love it! plus if it were as cute as that i'd love it more!

I'm quite particular about what I wear as well, and while I usually hate the idea of having to wear something other than what I've chosen myself, at the same time I recall not feeling at all bothered by having to wear a silly bright-colored gown at my graduation ceremony, precisely because everyone had to wear them. As one often picked on in my younger days, I almost wish I had had a uniform in high school and earlier, just as Dancing Queen said. 

Perhaps the skirts in the snow are a bit much, though? Then again, Gundams never seem to get cold in space, which must be even chillier.

Over here, it's either hot, or rainy, so I'd say skirts all-round. 
I rarely see people wear such short skirts though. orz
Maybe I just don't get out enough.
Need to go to shopping malls! (for girls)

Is the skirt length in the picture the compulsory length in Japan? That's really short >_< 

Not that's necessarily a bad thing. I like it actually ^^ 

For cultural comparison, in here, school girls have to wear skirt too but usually girls won't wear the skirt at that kind of length..
Some do wear the skirt at that kind of length though and they usually are some of the cutest girls in the school..

Well, truly the skirts length is around their knees.  They just roll it up at the top to make it shorter >w<;

Well, what warm blooded hetrosexual male doesn't admire the leggy display of skin the short skirt has to offer? We're basically biologically coded to look and wonder what's under the hood.

From what I hear though, schoolgirls in Japan tend to take standard length skirts and either hemm them shorter or roll them up at the waist to make them appear so. They know very well what's goin on, so who am I to object. I don't...

Really? Don't you wonder what's beyond the pantsu..? I know I do.. ^^

Sorry for being kinda pervy here >_<

@Danny

You might be right! 
And if I may take example from Minami-ke, Haruka's friend, Maki, complained that they are forced to wear mini skirt (episode 2 at 3:37).

That make it seems like mini skirt is the (enforced??) standard there ^^

girls in school here can only wears skirts exceeding knee-length, as proposed by the ministry. very sad sight. why does the typical japanese school girl uniform has such short skirts? not to mention they look great too! malaysian school uniform looks like fashion back in the forties...

Danny: Mobile suits only have skirts because non-vertical tanks (y'know the tracked kind) have 'em. Tanks have 'armored skirts' over the sides of their roadwheels to help protect the delicate bits that make it move.

Kinda like a girl's skirt, only the only thing those are protecting against are deadly eye beams.

I was also wondering why all the school girls were wearing skirts during cold winter, so they have strict dress code -_-  I do feel for them so maybe during the winter, they can wear pantsu under their skirts perhaps.

Wow, that's a beautiful pic (when she is coming off the bus). Well, I reckon at least they should modify the dress code for winter, I mean it's cold and such. But mandatory to wear skirt during warmer times ^^.

Actually Danny, the correct term for the "skirts" on the Gundams, and most waist-level armor, is "tasset".

And I too love them short uniform skirts. They are pretty much non-existent in Portugal...

About the cold, I guess the girls should just wear some kind of stockings under the skirt...

Skirts - Approved for all year round usage!! 

I hardly see girls here (SG) who wear skirts (Jeans material skirts are not skirts to me!), and don't even get started on the mini-skirt, hardly/doesn't exist. Even the school uniforms for girls, the length are just below the knee level.

Even without the school ruling of the uniform's skirt length, I still see lots of other girls wearing skirts of that length while in Japan for casual wear. It's like natural to them I guess.

You find some girls wearing short skirts to school here, but its not cumpulsory so maby they just like all the attention :p.

As for the history of the skirt, i don't think you could really find the inventor ( to thank them of course :D )as they have been around for thousands of years....

 I would prefer all-year long skirt.(cover knees) I am fascinated by long skirt. ^_^ (may be because it is being worn here.) But if it's a short skirt like Japan, I think they should allow girls to wear other things in cold weather like that...

at first I was going to say, "that's wrong; she looks cold." But then I realized... this is a gift. we should just appreciate that we can see this sort of thing. she suffers for us all and we thank her for that.

I am not 100% sure but, I do not think the skirts, being short, is compulsory at all, but quite the opposite (i.e. they are longer, but the girls do not like them that way)

Skirts of younger girls are usually below the knee, it's only when they get 15 or so that it magically "shrinks". They are still longer than you can see in the streets, girls just fold them over and over to shorten them.

I asked a friend (Japanese, girl) how come they are not even wearing panties when it is cold or something. According to her, girls are not allowed to wear colored ones (which includes black), and skin-tone ones are perceived to be a thing of old ladies.

i believe the main reason for skirts is to make sure girls sit graciously instead of with their legs wide apart. correct me if i'm wrong. ('~')

I think it's because girls look good in skirts. But then the question is if we were brought up with blank slates, would fashion designers re-invent skirts for girls?

Girls should have warmer long skirts, stockings or pants to go under the skirt or warm long socks in winter. But it seems that girls survive in Japan every winter so maybe the way it is now is ok.

I wouldn't say it's so much a matter of "Who invented the skirt?" but "Who decided that men should wear pants and women shouldn't?"

As most have said, girls tend to fold/hitch their skirts up, but some school skirts are getting shorter of their own accord.  It's one thing when the girls are deciding to do it (not that I award points for lasciviousness--major fail in my book), but I imagine some men are making these decisions.  What do the people around them say/think, I wonder?

Skirts all year round, since the schools that allow girls to wear trousers here dont make them wear a certain type like they do with the boys. So the girls will all be wearing all different styles and the boys have to wear one style. Also i like them.

Seasonal skirts... longer for the winter, and mildly insulated. You want them cold enough that they would ask you to come over and warm them up, but not too cold that they become frigid. ^^

Skirts were designed for to keep really hot females comfortably cool.  

I keeping the head and upper body warm is more important than the lower body cause that is where all your vital organs are.  Just don't get frostburn and you will probably be alright.

Well the schoolgirl in this picture could be wearing sheer tights which would help keep her warm, also aren't schoolgirls allowed to wear like navy/white stockings? either full leg or thigh highs?

In Ireland, girls can wear trousers, they don't usually though, but the skirts are knee high so a lot warmer XD

I'm tempted to say that a kilt is not a skirt, but I like the idea that the Scots share some connection with Gundam.

As much as it pains me to do so, I had to vote for skirts optional. I like the uniform, I don't think I'd like to be the young girl wearing it when a gang of otaku walk past.

keep the skirts on, if it were pantsu only it would take the thrill outta the "hunt".

By the way, I wouldn't call them skirts if I were to point it out on someone wearing a kilt. Some Scots actually take offense when you call it that. Happened to me before during a parade and boy was I embarassed.

oh I feel SO bad for that girl.
when I was an exchange student in Japan I went to a preppy private high school and they were SUPER strict about the dress codes.
I froze my @$$ off during winter because all I had was the skirt, mini biker shorts and socks (not even tall ones because the mandatory school socks only go halfway up the calf).
I got in BIG trouble the one day I tried to wear my school gym pants under my skirt during the 40min commute to school (biking, walking, train, bus, walking, etc). One of my teachers made me de-pants myself in the hallway *so embarrassed then*

so I say yes to cute skirts- but at least allow tights or pants of some kind UNDERNEATH! :/

Don't feel sorry for the girls. 

My wife is from Korea and she wears skirts all the time during winter and when you ask her if her legs are cold, she looks at you like you're crazy and says NO.

They grew up in this and it doesn't even phase them. Just like people in Fairbanks Alaska start walking around in shorts because the weather got up to an unbearable high of 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

First, all skirts all the time.

Second, don't feel sorry for the girls.

I think skirts have been around for a long time, ancient Egyptians wore long skirts, ancient Roman soldiers wore short skirt armor. (thank goodness I didn't interchange shirt and skirt this time, like I did on the last comment). ^^
Poor school girls, sure wish I was there to keep those poor cold pair of legs warm.

I wholeheartedly agree that short skirts on Japanese girls are really, really cute, and that year-round cuteness is an awesome idea. ^__^ 

But during the winter around here, most girls wear jeans, or at least leggings/tights if they do wear skirts or dresses. And they still constantly shiver and complain about the cold. I can't imagine how cold Japanese girls must get when they're not allowed to wear leggings or anything on account of the dress code. x__x 

I'm a girl, but never ever wear skirts. I find them very uncomfortable, believe it or not. ^^; Pants all the way for me! But that doesn't stop me from admiring other young ladies in miniskirts. XD

who came out with the rule to wear skirt in winter anyway? the japanese education minister has a skirt fetish or something? ('~')

anyway i feel sorry for the girl in the picture. she must be feeling cold. i'll greatly give her a hug and a cup of hot coco to warm her up. she's welcomed to come to my house for homework. ('~')

I have to disagree a bit here Danny. I know a lot of girls (actually, almost all my childhood friends were girls) and I remember some of them wearing school uniforms with short skirt in the winter.

They compensate. They don't just sit back and just let their skin be exposed. Some do, but not all. There's the long stockings, supposedly very comfortable in the cold barring gusts of cold wind and there are long leg warmers, tight pants, etc.

well, how should i put this...
i don't know whether or not did people say but I guess it is the school's decision.
I am sure they don't have winter dress codes... it is just their ordinary skirt
in which i approve :p

Surely they have longer skirts available for those poor girls to wear in the winter.........

I don't even attend formal school anymore, and I wear skirts everyday. They're so comfortable!!

They're exciting too-- sometimes it seems like jeans have completely taken over.

As much as I think that the mini skirts look cute on school girls; during the winter they should have trousers or long skirts be worn.

But if they want to were something shorter; I have no objection to that.

I see people were short here during Michigan winters.

They should wear what every they feel comfortable with.
