Girls in schools in Japan always wear short skirt due to...., reason will leave you shocked
In schools and colleges, where uniforms are a symbol of uniformity and discipline, a country like Japan has a completely different take on it. Instead of being a representation of equality or identity, Japan's school uniform speaks more about style and a cultural phenomenon.
Walk past any Japanese school and you will see the girl embracing fashion trends that are layered in the pop culture style but impractical- a short, pleated skirt. No matter whether it's sunny or freezing out there, girls wear miniskirts.
Being in trend for decades, short and mini skirts in Japan started as a pop culture trend but later turned out to be a cultural norm. Back in 1990, a Japanese pop Namie Amuro, rose to fame, and she was widely hailed for her fashion sense, which featured short skirts. Soon, this trend started gravitating teenage girls, including school students who tailored their uniform accordingly, so much so that today their educational dress code has become that. More Than Just a Trend
According to reports, teenage school girls started embracing their trend because it made them feel cuter and stylish. What began as a fashion inspiration slowly turned out to be a matter of confidence and identity for them. Comfort vs. Climate
The trend has dominated Japanese girls so much so that, irrespective of the weather, school girls continue to embrace this tradition. Even in freezing temperatures, you will find them styling this mini skirt with scarves and jackets, but the skirt's length wouldn't be compromised. A Tradition Cemented by Pop Culture
Besides being a school uniform, this trend has become iconic with many anime, dramas, and K-pop-inspired videos, and international films embracing it.
Today, this trend is not just an outfit but a global symbol of Japanese youth culture.
