and so on. There seems to be something wrong with this picture. . . .
Forget it, don’t care about these details
is not convinced! Our country has a great civilization for five thousand years, and its clothing culture has a long history. In front, there were Hanfu spread throughout Japan and South Korea, and in the back, there were cheongsams with all kinds of charm. Why in modern times, our own school uniforms are getting uglier and uglier_(:з」∠)_
But then again, Japan's uniform culture has always been famous. In particular, JK (high school girl) uniforms have formed a unique dressing style. Not only do girls in District 11 like to wear it, but you can also see many beautiful girls wearing JK in major cities in China. Why is Japan's JK uniforms so popular that they have influenced the aesthetics of several generations? Today I am idle, let’s give you some simple science to share w
What is JK uniform?
JK is the abbreviation of the Romantic pronunciation of a female high school student in Japanese (じょしここうせい). Similarly, DK corresponds to a male high school student. The uniforms of Japanese high school students are generally divided into sailor uniforms and Western uniforms. The most obvious difference between the two is that sailor suits have laces.
sailor suit vs shirt
first let’s talk about your favorite sailor suit. Sailor suits, also known as sailor suits and seaman suits, originated in the UK. There are many statements about the use of the square cloth on the top. One is that it can be used to maintain hair cleaning; the other is that it can be erected to help with hearing during naval warfare, and it can also be used to protect the eardrum when the naval gun is fired; the white system is used because it looks more conspicuous in the dark.
1859, the sailor suit was selected as the formal clothing of the sailor by the British Navy. In 1864, Queen Victoria set a precedent, allowing young princes and princesses to wear sailor suits. Because sailor suits are worn on children and teenagers, they always give people the first impression of being cute and youthful. Since then, they have led the trend and are deeply loved by children aged 4 to 6 in Europe at that time.
As the British naval fleet went to patrol the colonies, the trend of sailor suits also spread from Europe to Asia. In 1872, the Westernized Japanese Navy also began to use sailor uniforms as sailor uniforms; because Japan was carrying out the Meiji Restoration Movement to enrich the country and strengthen the army at that time, the sailor uniforms with a martial spirit were exactly the same as the Japanese, and Japanese schools began to abandon kimonos and change the student uniforms to sailor uniforms. At the same time, according to the national conditions, the original lower half of the pants were also modified into skirts. The well-known sailor suit was in 1921, and Elizabeth Lee, the head of Fukuoka Women's College, began to promote sailor suits to Japan in large quantities.
Later, it also experienced improvements of all sizes. In short, it evolved into what it is now.
Careful people may find that, in the same sailor suit, why do girls wear different styles?
Introduction to sailor suits Style classification
The most obvious thing about distinguishing various sailor suits is that the collar (also called lantern) of the top is mostly dark blue, and there are also white. There are often 1-3 light-colored strips for decorative decoration on the edge of the collar (the cuffs may not be included). According to the size and height, there are four typical regional characteristics: Sapporo pine, Kanto pine, Nagoya pine, and Kansai pine.
I wonder which kind of gentlemen like?
As for scarves that match sailor clothes, there are bow tie, collar rope, triangle scarf, and these types. The styles specified by each school are different, so JKs can also buy them online and replace them.
sailor suits a small skirt is called a pleated skirt, and even Western school uniforms often match this kind of skirt.
Generally speaking, the skirt length of the new school uniform issued by the school is about 50-60cm (that is, up and down the knees). Schools with strict school rules tend to grow a little longer.
pleated skirts can be roughly divided into three types: gear type, forward type and box type
The number of skirt pleats is actually determined by each school itself: 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, etc. 24 folds are more common. If divided by region, it is said that Kanto is mostly 24 or 28, while Kanto is mostly 32 or 36.
When it comes to sailor suits, you must not mention socks. If socks are missing, the charm of the skirt will be greatly reduced. The types of socks reflect different attributes. Black stockings or pantyhose, paired with skirts that are knee-length or ankle-length, are the lady-like. A knee-length skirt with socks two or three inches below the knee is Otome. A skirt with a dozen or twenty centimeters on the knee and stockings are common ACG characters, for the sake of providing a killing service. Short skirts and short socks are the role of lively girls.

Like in China, the uniforms of every university in Japan are also stipulated by themselves, and one will not be easily bought. If you want to appreciate the style of JK in various parts of Japan, you can refer to the "Pictures of Women's High Uniform Encyclopedia" and other books.
mayuyu once took 47 photos of uniforms in the prefectures and counties by one person. It was really heartbroken (de) and crazy (liang)
(liang) the intersection of the skirt and top is the essence of sailor suit. The effect of correcting the body shape is reflected in this, because the top is wider than the junction of the skirt, and the top is shorter. In this way, the visual difference is poor because the top is wider than the skirt, and the defect of girls with thicker waists is not obvious, while girls who are already thin will be more petite against the backdrop of sailor suits. Or design the skirt a little bit more, and shorter the top, and adding a waistband to the skirt can show a good effect. However, although traditional sailor suits can correct their body shape and conceal their defects, the curve of the chest cannot be revealed and the body line of the waist is also covered. This does not matter to junior high school girls after all, and after high school girls have matured their bodies, it seems unnecessary to wear sailor suits, and suits or other Western uniforms appear more mature. Therefore, junior high school girls are the most suitable for wearing sailor suits. Compared with suits and uniforms, they look more innocent and cute, full of youthful atmosphere. This is also the reason why many high schools adopt Western-style uniforms.
However, don’t think that Japan will always be ahead of China in terms of school uniforms. In fact, our school uniforms have also been at the forefront of the popular

If you finish reading this article, you also want to fall into the JK trap. Please remember when opening Taobao! !
This type of clothing [a long style], [too slim fit], [skirt is so short that it has a reflective line] is not called a sailor suit, it is called [sex uniform]
If you want to wear it out, please first make up for the scene where there is no blind spots around you.
The following is a demonstration of wearing inferior sailor suits↓↓↓
Japanese authentic sailor suits are relatively high. Taking the price of CONIMI, a Japanese online store selling JK uniforms as an example, a set of sailor suits with [short-sleeved top + skirt + bow tie] is summarized as 20,736 yen, equivalent to RMB 1,094. The price is enough to discourage most students.Therefore, the domestic brand is more popular in China, namely, imitating authentic styles and sailor clothes with more conscientious workmanship, and the price of tops + skirts is about 200-300 yuan
, although most people may not see any difference. . . .
Finally, I would like to remind everyone that if you like sailor suits, you must buy orthodox styles. For example, the following are the orthodox sailor suits (つ•̀ω•́)つ
