Japanese School Uniforms

Cute!!!!!!!

No uniforms here in Germany.

Not many uniforms to be found around here anymore to be honest. Just a few schools, and it's usually limited to just wearing having to wear a plaid skirt or black jeans, knee-high socks or stockings and a top in a particular color. The guys just wear a jacket (in a particular color) and usually black jeans.

I never wore one though, I went to a no-uniform school. (^_^)

uniforms are great. saves one the hassle of deciding what to don every day. stormtroopers and darth vader have it so easy. ^^.

humm, I know this foot ;P

During my last year of Jr High, my school instituted uniforms. This ended up being a very controversial topic as it was a public school, and public schools here don't do the uniform thing. That's for the private schools.

One of the issues for this, which was completely different from the those of the adults, is that we students have been wearing what we wanted (at the appropriate moderate level dress code) all our lives. When suddenly forced to wear a uniform, we students were less than thrilled. The dress code was abolished the following year.

What was this uniform - A green or while solid color polo shirt and khaki pants.
A lot of school uniforms I have seen in the area, is pretty similar. Usually a Polo Shirt (sometimes a button down collar shirt if your fairy formal) and a pair of slacks/khakis.

I had to wear a uniform for 6 years ^^, but the same as in Japan..Will look if I find a photo, but it s been a long time ^^ I was from 6 to 12 years old

Haha Nike Dunks look populaar!

I love the look of boys' school uniforms. The people I encounter prefer blazers though. The gakuran just looks so awesome to me.

I wish I had uniforms in high school. It would make high school life that much easier since I wouldn't have to be worrying about buying new clothes. Would totally have more time studying (or playing video games) instead of looking for what to wear. Would also have more money to buy anime and manga and such instead of clothes.

Japanese uniforms are rather unique! Mine was just a normal looking office shirt (crumple free) topped with the schools crest (Is the common style here, except for chinese schools or other prestigious schools)

Uniforms are great and bad at the same time. The good thing is that everybody, rich or poor, wears the same thing, everybody is equal, and you dont have to decide on styles every single day

whereas the bad and (probably) good thing is that you cannot enter entertainment joints (Arcades etc.) with uniforms here.

All schools in Singapore have school uniforms, except the Polytechnics. My secondary school uniform looked quite alright. White top and navy blue pants.

Some schools here require girls to wear pinafores. I wonder if that's only limited to Singapore?

When I was in school in the UK we always had uniforms. Secondary school started off with blazer (jacket) shirt and tie but changed whilst I was there to jumper, shirt and tie.

Personally I think that it's better to have a uniform than not.

I wish we have uniforms here. :/ It can be a bit annoying to have to coordinate outfits everyday D;

My Melody! They don't sell her at the Sanrio stores over her anymore. :[

In Greece we don't wear uniforms.Maybe 1-2 private schools use them but I am not sure.The last time all schools used uniforms must be around 40 years ago during the dictatorship.

Back at my old school in the UK, we still wear uniforms like (as infinitehippos said) Blazers, shirts and ties. Then when u get to 6th form, we would then be told to wear suits. Also when i was back at school, if i had an engineering class, i wouldn't need to come in, in uniform due to the fact that the school didn't want us to get em damaged. (Mine was a bit burnt by the occasional plaing around with a Bunsen Burner ^^;) But i left my old school last year for college and i feel more comfortable in casual clothes.
I do however miss wearing a uniform as it does get u into the working mood.

too bad the girls dont wear kimonos to school anymore.i like those more than the sailor outfits.

no uniforms here unless you go to private school or catholic school

No school uniform here in Italy :(

No uniforms here in Sweden.

Here in the U.S.A. it depends what school your in. Some look just like what you see in Japan, and some have no uniforms what-so-ever. :3

Is painting your hair pink or red in Japan against school uniform?

I wore a uniform for the 10+ years I went to school in the Caribbean. I hated them.

Wow! when I grow up, I wanna be in the clone wars too!

Suzumiya Haruhi!

They got the shoes ready. All they need is a full clone army battle suit!

Public schools in Australia normally have school uniform. Private schools even more so.

Something about my local public high school dress policy is here: http://redbplaishs.eq.edu.au/wcmss/index.php/unipol.html. Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to find any good pictures except a few very small ones on that website.

Here's another local public high school: http://www.corindashs.eq.edu.au/

all about monies around here.. if its a private, usually catholic school, uniforms were mandated, but since u were paying a boat load, the cost of uniforms woulldn't bother ya. now public schools, most in the US is casual with a dress code, but no uniform, though gym classes required one (which alot of people wouldn't wash for awhile.. >_<) cost of the uniforms are the big thing, usually I got a couple new shirts and pants before the new school year, but the cost of a full uniform would cost to much (not quite poor family growing up.. but close enough)

I personally like uniforms, saves on what to where from day to day, and doesn't wear out ur clothes, thou my current job is casual (barefoot right now!)

uniforms are cool, in indonesia i wore a uniform from kindergarten-4th grade and students don't judge each others clothes haha, but in the US 5th-high school we wear w/e want but people judge the way we looked...............uniforms were cool

We have uniforms here all the way to high school. With the exception of some state universities and a handful of private ones, even college level students are required to wear uniforms too (that includes me).

I think they're good because it saves me the effort of deciding what to wear each day. Sometimes though, I wish that I can wear whatever the hell I want just so I can express myself more ^__^

PS What happen to manga/anime high school short skirts =(

Since the school I go to is a catholic school I get to wear a typical uniform. It can be pretty uncomfortable at times but I take pride in looking good in the school blazer ^^

I'd rather go to stormtrooper school though

Dark winter Seifuku For The Win. I want one for con-wear.

I had to wear uniforms at mine here in the UK. Primary school was any shoes, black trousers and a white polo shirt under a burgundy sweatshirt with the school's crest on in white. You had to wear it from years 1 - 6.
Secondary school was black work/posh shoes, black work/posh trousers, and a white polo shirt underneath a black sweatshirt with the yellow school crest. That was from years 7 - 11. Sixth form was whatever you wanted.

I hated wearing them. Everyone always did. Everyone always loved the couple of times a year when the school would have a "Mufty Day" and you paid £1 to not wear uniform for the day, though. ^^;

I always wore a school uniform, as it was very good. and I always had 3, and mine was the transfer one.

No school uniforms out here in Canada, unless at private schools.

I went to a private school. til I accidently made a microwave explode by putting in one of my lunches.

danny naturally blending in XD

I wish my school uniform was the seifuku type, so kawaii! All of my school uniform were the boring blue pinafold dress over a white blouse, a doodle of it here ^^; http://bit.ly/b3EevT
reminds me, I actually made a version for my blythe, I should let my mamachapp wear them :P

All secondary schools have uniform now in london danny ^^;

If you look around london now there are so many different coloured uniforms,
our school in particular has police like tops for years 7-9 and then we wear blazers for the last 2 years
http://www.lns.org.uk/ <---- our school
If you watch the slideshow of pictures all my classmates are the ones in blazers ^^
I don't think any pictures of me are up yet ^^;

I went to Catholic schools my entire elementary and high school life. The uniforms they had were pretty comfortable, nothing bad about 'em. I loved not having to worry about what to wear the next day.

I never got to wear any uniform and feel little glad that I was not forced into wearing one but at the same time, I wonder what would it feel like to be in a uniform ^^; At least you don't have to worry about what to wear to school is one of the benefits of wearing a uniform I suppose.

There is no uniform for public school in Quebec, Canada. Although more than half of the private school have one or a fairly strict dress code.

No uniforms here in the public schools around where I live; Toronto, Canada. But I do see uniforms, but rarely on the streets. Probably more chances to see up north.

No uniforms in public schools and I never wore one although maybe I do want to try.

I went to a Catholic boys college (high school) here in New Zealand so we had to wear fairly pricey uniforms, not only that...my intermediate years (middle school) had an ugly ass uniform as well.

So I been wearing the damned things for a while...although the College one was pretty sweet

Not really uniforms but I had a dress code at the second elementary school I went to and both of my middle schools.It was the schools colors polo and khaki's.My first middle school were pretty lenient but at the 2nd middle school I went to they were VERY strict.They didn't even let us have back packs when I was in 8th grade.;_;

In Malaysia, boys wore white short sleeves shirt and a navy blue (primary schools) / army green (secondary schools) shorts or pants. Girls wore white short sleeves shirt beneath their navy blue (primary schools) / cyan (secondary schools) pinafores.

d@@b

Oh... Nike school shoes...

My school uniforms;

Prep School -- dark grey shorts for younger boys, long trousers for older boys. Black blazer with green piping. Cap. Light grey shirt. Regulation tie (can't remember the colours.)

Public School -- Single breasted, single vented grey suit. White or pale blue shirt. Regulation tie. Each house had its own colours and there were special colours for various achievements in sports or academic pursuits. Girls were allowed to wear what they liked, more or less.

Stockings ftl.

No school uniforms in the public school system here. Personally, I like being able to wear whatever I want to school. Your own choice of clothes is a good way of expressing yourself to others. It's also interesting to see how other people in school dress and the various fashion senses that people have. But that's just my opinion ^^;;

There was kind of a school uniform policy while I was in school...but that was only in middle school...

Most schools in Australia have a uniform.

You can see my schools here: http://www.springwoodhighnsw.com.au/images/stories/uniform%20photos.pdf
The girl in the first picture has a big jumper on, and even though it's not there, we are allowed to wear blouses and black skirts.
Our school isn't very strict with uniform, unlike a few schools in our area. We all roll our sleeves and skirts up, and some of us were unenclosed shoes. ^^;
Once you hit year 11 and 12, the uniform changes slightly, and instead of wearing green, you are allowed to wear grey and black.

no school uniforms at any school i ever went too. Though, I wouldn't complain since some people here just can't seem to dress properly XD

and it would save me the trouble of: what shall i wear today?

Back in high school, we were required to wear black pants and a shirt with our logo on it. I always wore a black coat to kinda stand out since everyone looked the same. But in college, no one really cares anymore. You see people wearing Pj's to suits.

Australia definately has uniforms. Although, most of the strict rules are so they comply with OHS.
Certainly in Japan they have more free choice over shoes, ours "have" to be black leather shoes.
Conveniently I took a photo of my new year 12 jersey yesterday, so here it is.

(excuse the blur)

When i lived in NYC, i went to a private school and uniforms were required. At first, I thought it was embarrassing because i had to walk 12 blocks just get to school and i would think everyone was looking at me. But eventually i got used to it.

Back in elementary school I had to were a uniform since I attended an old, small private school.
The only down side to them was that they weren't fit for the winter climates. I lived in the northeast part of the U.S. and the school would make use wait outside every morning until class starts. The only thing we got to keep warm was a very very thin sweater. -_-;

gosunkugi??

Went to Catholic High School in Canada. There were uniforms. The girls could wear kilts. :D

What are these things in their pockets?

Hurrah for uniforms! - Taking the thinking out of clothes for most of the week ^^;
Green blazer w/tie was the deal for me

Moving to college was a big problem as i quickly discovered i had barely enough casual clothing to last the week ><"

Almost all schools in Australia, private or public, require uniform, but public are more flexible with uniforms (e.g. any shoes, jewellery, don't have to tie back long hair, nail polish).
I've been at private schools all my life. The one I'm currently attending has a uniform (like many other Australian private girls schools) of a tunic with a collared shirt underneath. For winter it's a pleated tunic with long sleeved shirt + tie + knee socks or stockings. It is VERY strict. We cannot customise our uniform in any way, we must wear black leather lace-up school shoes, we have to tie back our hair if it is long... etc.

Sorry, it was bothering my. This is not a Clone Trooper; this is a Storm Trooper.

In Brazil normally is a blue jeans and a white or blue shirt with the emblem of the school.

kimono uniform mmmm, I need to see that

Love at first sight. Watch the hands.

i have a uniform like this, but not so small lol

I've always had to wear uniform throughout school, most schools in Australia do and thankfully enough the uniform I've had to wear wasn't actually bad looking and practical in use.

I did during my time there and it was quite similar to these but my school could not provide a jacket in my size.

I wear uniform back in secondary and primary school.

LOVE Japanese uniforms! They're so cool and pretty!

周りが黒尽くめでダニーだけやたら白い・・・ｗｗ

I wore one back in Primary and Secondary. I had a really cool green blazer in High School, plus a green and gold tie. My uniform was quite good.
After that it's not mandatory to carry on education so there are no more rules.

I went to Catholic School until the equivalent of my first year of Junion High (I lived in El Salvador at that time) so I wore a uniform. It was a blue jsk (plated) with a round collar shirt. We also wore our knee socks. It was alrigh but I felt more comfortable wearing regular clothes through my school years in the U.S. However, i do have a penchant for skirts ^__^;; If they are pleated, the better.

Since my school was kindergarten through 12th grade, I wore uniforms for my entire career, it was a private school. Our uniforms were simple. Boys wore khaki pants with a polo shirt, with the choice of a navy blue, red, or white shirt. I usually wore navy blue or red. For the girls they could either wear a white blouse with a skirt, or polo shirt with shorts on hot days. On colder days, girls usually wore pants, but black pants instead of the khaki.

Uniforms are making a comeback here in the US. All Philadelphia public schools have them now and this trend is reaching the suburbs as well. The reason? Lowers truancy and helps cut down on the violence created by the different gangs/groups showing the "Colors" It has helped a lot.

only uniforms at schools were im from are from the catholic schools.. pretty ugly ones to lol

I have a love/hate relationship with uniforms. Makes life easier but they usually choose bad colours :/ Primary school was a green polo with any navy pants (or tartan skirt which was actually really cute!) and then high school was teal polos and denim/black pants. First year of senior high (year 11), we had no uniform (yay) but then for year 12 they introduced one(nave or white polos with navy pants) -_- And they said no black jeans! We wore them anyway. Public schools don't care so much and our school was one of the last ones in West Aus where you could still wear denim. But they all love polo shirts. I don't :( I wish I had button-up shirts and skirts and ties... But out of school now so I can wear them!

I wore a uniform from pre-school until high school. I think most schools here have uniforms. It's rare that I see them NOT wear uniforms, except maybe the International Schools but as far as I know, they do wear uniforms.

I feel sorry for kids who go to universities that require them to wear uniforms.

University is ridicilous here, I think I have a more easier time in college than University for the first semester which burned me down.

those are pretty long skirts...anime has lied to me once again XD

so the boys wear their 詰襟 with white sports shoes and not black leather shoes?

I live in the US, and have worn a uniform all throughout my school career. I do however attend a private school.

In Malaysia, secondary school uniforms.

For Malays

for Chinese, Indians and other races:

I remember we had uniforms back when I was attending elementary school in China. Everyone wore the same thing, regardless of gender. This green/white tracksuit. ^^;; Don't remember if we had something different for winter. It was a long time ago...

There IS a school in singapore that looks very much like the japanese school uniform. Its woodgrove secondary school. But its only for lower secondary level.

here's a pic, scroll down =P http://www.woodgrovesec.moe.edu.sg/cos/o.x?c=/wbn/pagetree&func=view&rid=3266

i've had my time wearing school uniforms, especially here in the philippines for elementary and college. pretty simple, really, just a plain white, shortsleeved dress shirt, pair of slacks, and black leather shoes. wasn't too fond of the leather shoes, i'd prefer to wear my chuck taylors over those.

i would really love to wear those japanese school uniforms. XD

korean school uniforms look pretty awesome too.

i noticed these girls have short hair. is it a fad? or just the school requires it?

There are few schools in the US that has uniforms, most are dress codes that students have to comply by.

In Indonesia, we have pretty much a variety of school uniforms because most schools here requires school uniforms. My school is a private school, so we get a nice-looking uniform like what they have in England and Japan although I think it doesn't fit the weather because we live in a tropical country. For instance, the boys in senior high have to wear a navy blue gakuran and brown-greyish pants and the girls have to wear navy blue suit jacket, white shirt with school-issued necktie ribbon and brown-greyish skirt. another option for boys and girls is the school hoodie. I mostly use the school hoodie for school and the suit jacket for cosplaying, since the girls senior high uniform in my school is similar to K-ON!
but yeah, school uniform like my school's in Indonesia is quite a rare find. usually school just issued a simple school shirt and pants/skirt, and probably neckties.

I wore uniform in my Protestant kindergarten, then uniform in my Catholic school til grade 4, then moved to Vancouver where I went to a Catholic elementary school which required uniform and then a Catholic high school, uniform as well. Safe to say I kinda liked girls in school uniforms after years of seeing them ^^;

No uniforms where I live. But this means you can get people coming to school in the oddest things. Pajama bottoms are one of the more commonly seen oddities, but I have also seen a guy walking around in a kilt.

I used to wear uniforms in elementary and junior high, and I used to complain a lot about how uncomfortable it was, the material was too thick..etc - we even had to wear regulation socks with the school logo on them! However, when I went to high school, we didn't have to wear uniforms and I realized how much I missed them. Having some sort of commonality with your fellow school mates was fun, plus having a uniform saved loads of time spent on coordinating outfits. haha.
Would have loved to wear a gakuran, though. XP

lol our uniforms kind of suck, but i always found japanese uniforms to be awesome.

You can tell these girls are good friends, they're wearing the same type of shoes!

I find Australian schools here in Melbourne require uniforms as well. They're usually very different depending on the school, though. Some have ridiculously simple uniforms (boys wear white shirt and shorts, girls a one-piece frock). Others are quite cool (the blazers for both girls and boys).

Of course, it also depends on the ones wearing them. Like with Japanese students, delinquents usually rip up or otherwise mangle their uniforms.

All schools except for polytechnic here in Singapore has uniform ^^. My uniform consist of white shirt with 7 metal buttons, with the school logo, and white shorts. I'm wearing white shorts since I'm still in lower secondary, Will be wearing trousers next year. Girls wear white skirt instead of the shorts / trousers, but have the same shirt.

I have the blue bit by the left of my name tag to show that I am a secondary 2 student. The colour stays with me until i graduate (unless I get retained) and the juniors get a new colour every year

I'm not really good in explanation so I'd just show you guys the pictures.(Pardon my bad English)

Thai state school uniform from elementary school to high school the uniforms were pretty much the same.

high school (I'm from a male-only high school but there are some girls though)

elementary school (Gotta love how they smile when I point my camera at them)

No school uniforms where I grew up. Southern California.

I think it would have been a good choice to start making folks where them because I was tired of seeing the early 90's styles (aka, pants sagged down and boxers visible) and don't get me started on what the girls were wearing. It distracted me during class seeing the girl's visible waist and short shorts. Especially when they needed to bend over for any reason. ^^;

Girls in Japan like AF1's I see... :)

Most schools here require uniforms. I kinda like it since it promotes order. Plus it saves us students from choosing what to wear the next day and keeps us from wearing inappropriate attires~

In South Africa the students wear uniforms.
Here is a photo from one http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=794032&id=1389098406

Grumpy-guts. "Why am I here?" he says.

I lol'd when I saw this.

By the natural order, all skirts should be above the knee.

UK has them these days, but considering the school system here ends at 16 and further education starts at 16, it's kinda awesome. Now we just need more funding.

Japanese school uniforms look awesome. If the uniforms down here looked that cool I'd be glad to wear a uniform haha.

unussually long skirt
O_o

could be a mpd public safety div. detective
joke!

one of the cutie's mother?

Schools here in Malaysia are using uniform as a standard even in private school but I just don't see the point to it or should i say tasteless? The school uniform that student are force to wear are short sleeve & navy blue pants then in the secondary short sleeve & army green long pants.

Japan school uniform does look cool and fashionable.

wore uniforms too! back in school days
most of the schools here have uniforms from elementary to h.s. but in collage there are some that dont have em

wow, I found a very very old photo ^^.. this is not the complete uniform, but you can have an idea.. blue sweatshirt with the school logo on it, white shirt, blue pants..

http://yfrog.com/2dn6077694981535924333142j

wich on do you think I am? ^^

In Malaysia, all the school uniform are the same for every public school except for their school badge and necktie.

Here are the detail and they are from wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_uniform#Malaysia

Its cool to see how all or most people there are good sports about it. Here, I borrowed a buddy's stormtrooper armor and got a lot of flak during halloween at my place. Mostly from halo fans tho lol. I still had a good time along with some other people tho.

OK, you'd better get your hand off me at the count of three, or else I'm calling the cops.

My school has navy blue blazers and then shirt, tie, and then we can choose between khakis or trousers. Here in the United States it's really rare for school's to have uniforms, although private and Catholic schools here do usually have a uniform or a strict dress code.

Taisho Yakyuu Musume is a cute series to watch. Especially with the sailor uniforms. XD

The sailor uniform, as the name suggests, is based on the uniform of sailors from the navy, or more specifically, the British Royal Navy. Yet another fine piece of export by the Brits besides rock music and classic comedy. ^^;

Stockings ftw.

uniforms were fine but hated ties. still do.

I wore a school uniform all the way till high school where I was finally free to wear what ever I wanted ^^
When I went to elementary school in Puerto Rico, the school uniform was a blue top with a plaid grey skirt. Wish I had photos, the uniform was so cute. Then I moved to New York and I had to wear an ugly yellow top with a plaid green skirt. I looked like a leprechaun T^T I have photos, will post if I find ^^
Lastly in middle school, it was a neutral white top with a beige skirt.

I missed school already.

had to wear school uniforms for the first 8 years of education in Singapore. after that, i moved to other countries, and went to international schools, which had no uniform regulations.

i have to say that i hated wearing the uniforms back then, but once in a while, i regret throwing away my secondary school tie, cuz it was quite nice

public schools don't require uniforms. Exception is the military school, that have a beautiful uniform for its sudents. All private schools get their students to wear at leat a standard t-shirt.

Over here it depends what type of school you go to, public schools don't require uniforms, but private schools do.
for my school (high school) I have to wear a polo, and khaki pants,
girls get to wear pants or a skirt

Uniforms ehhhhhhhh ...

Many Schools in Singapore had uniforms that look like there were designed for the prison inmates.

I went to a specialized public junior high school where we had to where uniforms. White Shirts Black or Blue Slacks along with shoes and a tie had to be worn at all times. There was also the school vest or sweater you could wear along with it as well. I later went to a private high school where we only had a dress code. Collared shirts, no blue jeans and no sneakers were the only requirements for boys.

man i got to head over to japan soon my school uniforms are lame there uniform pants and a colored shirt a belt and white or black shoes

Those are middle school uniforms. High school girls' uniforms usually have shorter skirts.

in 1 of my grade schools the boys would wear a nice White Shirt and Blue Pants, the girls would wear a White Shirt, Blue skirt. it was quite a trendy uniform, the kids that couldn't afford the uniform were given special permission to wear normal clothes.

school uniforms in my country (romania) look like this http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2006/06/uniformPA180606_228x355.jpg or this http://www.pocandpoch.com/wp-content/gallery/first-day-of-school/kids-on-the-first-day-of-school.jpg
i never liked them when i was little
most high schools don't require you to wear one but if they looked like japanese uniforms i would definitely wear them

xxx-san please show us the hentai now

i want japan's high school uniform

In Brazil my school uses a gray shirt with a big school emblem on the back and a small one on your chest plus collar and side navy strips.
On the other hand, public school uniform can vary but

On the other hand, public school uniform can vary but I mostly see the typical light blue shirt with a navy skirt.

Well seeing the school uniforms from different countries for people who has not taste from their schooling life maybe tempting, but sometimes its a bit problematic as well. Japan has 2 types of season School Uniforms for both winter and summer but for certain countries, it just sticks to only summer school uniform (like in Malaysia or Singapore) or winter (any other countries i might know). But seeing someone possses a pair of uni's from other countries, its just like cosplay to them...(>3<)

In primary a school jumper and a white shirt/black everything else dress code. Annnd... the year i join high school they started a dress code _ ie wear black and the green and blue tie :| Not every one liked it..... Although this pic is from the 60's this is what is like nowadays if you imagin that the row at the top are 6th years and all others are the rest of the school :) http://www.boroughmuir.edin.sch.uk/history/photographs/1960/pupils9.htm

anime series make these uniforms look a lot better than real life.

nike shoes is a thing in usa too o_o cant find a kid with a pair

without*
