Japanese School Girl Skirts

I prefer rolled up version. And I mean REALLY rolled up. ;)

Japanese school girls only though.

Without a doubt short skirt. ;)

This is a no-brainer :p... I prefer the shorter version.

extremely rolled up skirt + strong wind = WIN!

The default skirt length seems a bit long in Japan.

Here in the US where uniforms are required - only at private schools - it's noticeably shorter, they fall just an inch or so above the knee and never over. However, that may be because girls here in the West have longer legs.

I went to a private school and girls almost always rolled their skirts up. Tied in with the button down long sleeved shirt, it was mega cute. Add in a rainy day. Heaven.

I predict lopsided poll results!

And I suddenly have an AKB48 song in my head, isn't that odd.....

Long skirts all the way!!

Short Skirts are a hell of a lot cuter. I don't like long skirts, why not wear pants then?

Rolled-up skirts are cute but if you asked me I'll choose both.

how does it roll up?

Hmmm roll up skirts is ok... but I will take a pair of bloomer any day.

more school girls in singapore are wearing shorter skirts now too.. it's either they bought smaller size, or rolled them up.. =D

Shorter is cuter. When I was in school, our uniform was either an A line skirt (horrible) or a pencil skirt that was loose and with a tiny split at the back.

Us girls would buy a size too small, and slit it up the back to mid thigh. It looked way hotter :)

the short length does justice.
I don't mind the default length either BUT...shorter looks better.

Rolled up naturally, my eyes are attracted to skin!

Shorter FTW..

default lenght: nun alike
rolled up lenght: girl alike

I don't like nuns. I like girls :P
Simple maths :P

Shorter ..... shorter the better. :>)

Curious... how does one take a picture of this kind? ^^;
Seems about the same way in my school. I've seen some that had it short, while others had it long.

Looks like Danny doesn't wear enough skirts to know this stuff. :P I prefer short skirts, but that's only because I have the legs for them. I think that's something to consider when setting the uniform codes, because just how many nice legs are there where you go watching for short skirts. Don't lie, you all go the long way home just to see pretty girlies. XD

i was told that it's due to the work culture in Japan, especially in offices, that doesn't entitle them to expose their zettai ryouki and thus they make full use of their time as students to do so.

sounds like a mating method to me as they may not (perceive themselves to) be as attractive wearing the typical office wear in future.

Those skrits are too long!

I prefer short of course :D

to quote Limp Bizkit: "Keep rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin'" xD

and thanks for the Aya Kiguchi goodness :D

Short for the most part...

Of course short version. But it could shorten my life also due to nosebleed.

^^ short skirt version is best ^^ if it got any higher here come a nose bleed ^^ and at my school there was no required dress code but the girls sure did have that short skirt ^^ got many nose bleed for real lol...idk if it was just me but it happened allot lol in 1 week i would have 8 nosebleeds until i started taking garlic pills and it stopped lol

Why am I not surprised the shorter skirt is winning the poll? xD But hey as long as these girls feel comfortable it shouldn't matter how long or short they wear their skirts. :P

Rollin, rollin, rollin...
keep those skirts-a-rolling
makes your dolphin swollen
Rawhide.

I like shorter skirts, but if it's too short it also looks bad.

Short skirts are always the best!

shorter show more legs and also at the same time make legs look shorter ^^; I had 2 cosplay outfits the skirts are so short... dangerous ^^;

Rolling is always right
Zettai ryouiki is always awesome

I see so they roll them up. Kind of like here in the states with the cheerleader girls or girls that go work out they got these short shorts yet they roll them up on the waist making them even shorter which i dont really mind haha

well... what about ultra mini nano skirt or no skirt at all (^. ^; ) hentai????

I prefer rolled up skirts.

I'm gonna play devils advocate and vote for long skirt. I think it all depends on the legs.

Is that even a question? The only problem is when girls who really shouldn't wear short skirts wear them.

Short skirt ftw ~

Nowadays, it's common to see girls on university and polytechnic campuses wearing short-shorts instead because of the hot and humid weather we have here. :)

Of course, short ^^

Like Chun said, shorter skirts make legs look longer. And who doesn't love long legs? ^^

Short skirts are a must in Summer.
But i don't know how this girl could stand it in Winter. (Assuming the season.)
Especially without stockings.
But short is better.

Actually both since it really depends on the person wearing it.

What more can I say? Of course the roll up is way better than the default length. I also though that Japanese school girl wear shorter and shorter skirt when they grew older.

Base materials are different so comparison is off. It depends on the person and the style overall of the uniform IMO.

long shirt in winter and short skirt for sumer that is the best answer.

Who voted for default long!!!

I think the average in Japan is a little over half the thigh?

interesting fact there.

definitely short

I think they are both too long.

Here's a dumb question. If many girls roll up the skirts anyway, why don't schools just offer a shorter version? Or do they wear them the default length during school and roll it up after they leave the school?

Anyhow, I prefer the short ones too. The default length do look too long...even longer than what I've seen in western countries.

I really need to find some comrades to visit Akiba and other cool places in Tokyo !!

Definitely short.
Better yet, add a pair of high socks for epic zettai ryouiki win.

Sometimes the very long skirt variety can be cute, it's even longer than in this picture and usually seen on dark uniforms. It has a certain charm to it in anime art in my opinion, for 3D it's short skirts all the way!

Short or not at all!

Requesting more samples of short skirts before I decide! Maybe you shouldn't be asking us whether we like short or long skirts, but rather short or bery short skirts XD

I think they both look good on each girl. :) If it was me I would probably roll them up too, though. ;)

I LOL at the voting results.

I wonder who is the 4% ~_~

Prefer short.
Girl looks cute when they wear short skirt.

Not that hard to decide. ^^'

right one is way to big O_o

I prefer woman with skirts rather than school girls ^^

the rolled up one is still pretty mild XD
moar rolling pls! :D

If I had to choose one of these, I would choose the shorter one. But what I like most is a long skirt that goes long under knees. My school's girl uniform is like that ^^.

its all about the girl in the skirt not the skirt itself.(but i do perfer the rolled one lol)

i prefer school skits short =3

Prefer shorter skirts, especially with long socks.

Some of the gals in my secondary school days used to roll up their skirt to become a mini skirt. They also tuck in their blouse to make their 'eyes' look bigger (for those with big eyes of course). Do enjoy watching them, but these gals are mostly 'ah lian' during that time which is 10 years ago. ^^;

Not sure whether the secondary school gals nowadays still do the same thing...

short skirt looks nice if they have a pair of nice legs......

Cute girl + short skirt = GOOD
Fat girl + short skirt = FAINT*

Enough said

rolled all the way FTW!!

Some things should be covered some should not and this picture is a perfect example. Girl on the right should wear default one when girl on the left did a good thing shortening her skirt^^.

you all horny people... sadly students here their skirts have to cover their kness regardless the room temperature of 32 degree Celcius here. Some of them even fear of sand storm and they cover themselves even tighter.

lol who wouldnt be for short length, though it does become a issue when i started seeing my sis doing the same thing at highschool. the instincts of an overprotective brother kicked it, so whats that?.. some form of irony lol

anyone else had in familar territory?

Obviously short, ^_^ .

If it were the girl on the left, then short. If it were the girl on the right, then long is fine. :)

It depends on the person and the outfit.

A small pleated skirt looks great on cute young school girls. But for a more mature woman, a tailored knee length pencil skirt with a crisp blouse is much better.

The small bit of the skirt sticking out of the jacket, I find really cute, but then again I might prefer to wear the long one... ^^

I find it hard to tell which looks better. If both of the girls where about the same size...
I've seen girls from a private school near the area my wife went to high school. The girls wear their skirt just a little above their knee to mid thigh and look so darn cute. Point a camera in their direction and you will go into moe overload. ^o^

At any rate, I like what ever looks good. Young Japanese woman should wear them short while they can do it. When they get older it looks foolish.

I was a student in an all girls school and obviously we all do the same thing at least once. Well there is a regulation about skirt lengths and stuff.. Not all the time but once in a while teachers begin to control your uniform, (mostly in the morning assembly) you can open the folds quickly.. though it was an all girls school all the male teachers were old (oh boy) So most of the girls fold their skirts end of the day. But folding looks really bad cos there is always something around your waist like a wheel.. heh very nostalgic memories..

When you are 15 you think you are not sexy enough obviously cos you are still a kid.. so ended up doing ridiculous stuff like folding your skirt up ^_^.. in my opinion normal skirt length and hime-type of high school girls are the best and cutest.. I miss my uniform T_T

How about wearing no skirts? :D

Haha honestly the short one..

but the long one can be nice too

of course SHORT!

either way is fine as long as the girl is hot =)
i actually knew that the girls fold their skirt up from a shoujo manga. yes I read them from time to time (sometimes shoujo manga is more ecchi than boys oriented manga o.o)
really it depends on the girl, not the skirt length.

I believe one should take the wearer of skirts into consideration, no?

It should be left as a matter of choice. In a perfect world where all men were gentlemen and all girls were safe, I would say the miniskirt :). In the world we live in, where not everything is as innocent as we might wish for, I would say the long skirt is better. The real test (of course) is to imagine that it is your 15 year-old daughter who has to wear whatever skirt you decide on!

Now that you have uncovered the truth. But still some private school does have short length for the skirt.

"reason many tell me is because it makes them look cute."
There may be some truth in this theory... :) LOL Shorter is cooler:)

For me it depends on the girl. For some girls, rolling up the skirt would look better, not so for other girls.

They were right when they said they look cute with the skirt rolled up. Especially with the knee high socks. ^^

Is that Baby Mario I see hanging from the bag? :D

Short, seems that 97% also agree.

Why do you ask questions, to which you all ready know the answers, Danny. :)

Short FTW XD

Ahaha I love the poll. x3
Short skirt on the right person is good

I wonder what the results would be if the cute-r girl was wearing the normal skirt though... :P

Oh! By all means SHORT!

Sometimes when the skirt is long it looks kind of attractive, well it depends on the girl of course ^^

Rolled of course! I think it looks funny when they actually lift their shirt to show a thick piece of rolled fabric.

without a doubt, rolled up ! :)

Tbh the one on the right is fat and nearly has cankles!
But of course rolled up!

I saw some really short skirts in Tokyo. And noticed also some McDonald's girls wearing short skirts. Here they all are wearing trousers.

Roll'em up ♥; Some skirts just need rolling.

asking the obvious eh....of course shorter XD

and the girl wearing the longer skirt isn't helping improve the polls either XD ...man i'm so mean XD jk

Where's the "No skirt" option?

Shorter skirt => nice leg => <3
japan school uniform so nice...
ours is like gyouza

A dolphin could get caught inside, suffocate and die inside one of those defaults >=O I say nay to defaults!

I prefer the rolled ones naturally. But in Tokyo, I must be careful where my eyes wander... Always an embassador 24/7.

Actually, even though I voted short, it really depends. If they wrap their innocent bodies and souls in a deep-colored school uniform, and walk slowly as to not disturb the pleats in their skirts and to not toss their white sailor scarves, I would much rather prefer long. :o

Shorter is better, all the way!

I bet we would have kept a 100% vote for 'short' if we had had a low-angle close-up comparison. ;=D#

short desu ^^

Short if you've got legs for it ^^
I would've picked the default ^^;;

SHORT FTW!!!! =3

Definitely short! The long one's just looks old school and boring.

the rolled up one!
thats one of the reasong i love japan
one of many XD

I prefer rolled up version. And I mean REALLY rolled up. ;)

Japanese school girls only though.

short skirt for someone with nice zettai ryouiki, but a really long ones for those with hairy legs / fat legs,

Rolled up, for sure.
