Hello, I’m Junko. I would like to introduce Japanese school uniforms. The reason why I chose this topic is that I had never seen any uniforms like the Japanese ones in other countries. Some of my friends have asked me to give them my school uniform. So, I will show you some of my school uniform.



Girls usually wear a skirt. The one on the left is my junior high school uniform; in the middle is my sister’s high school uniform; and on the left is a summer version of my high school uniform. In particular, the one in the middle is a Japanese traditional design which is called “sailor”. In addition, if we feel hot, we can take off the jacket. We adapt our school uniform to each season. Almost all schools have a rule about length of the skirt, but Japanese girls tend to hate this rule. For example, we cut or roll up the waist band to shorten the length of the skirt. I also have done it before. In my opinion, the girls especially in big cities tend to wear very short skirts.



These are my school sportswear. We also adapt school sportswear to each season. And we try to wear this as originally as possible the same way as we do with our skirts. I think Japanese school girls never want to be just like everyone else, though they look very similar.
