No More Short Skirts for Japanese Schoolgirls?

Sailor collar top, short skirt plus loose socks. Three things that we normally take as the essentials for that Japanese schoolgirl look.

Not being a part of the male population doesn't mean that I do not appreciate these schoolgirls.

I do.

In fact I fancy looking at them because I find their uniforms too cute. Too cute that I wish we had those kind of uniforms here in our country. But then I'm not in high school anymore... and so when we were told of a Costume Christmas Party last 2007, Rai suggested I be one.

On the other hand. Half, if not more, of the male population maybe fascinated with these schoolgirls not because of their fashion statement but because they wear the shortest skirts in the world.

But then, them guys would maybe saddened to know if this thing I read from DannyChoo's tweet is true. Apparently, more schoolgirls prefer donning long skirts now for reasons such as: it saves them the trouble of rolling and unrolling their skirts (truth of the matter is that, their skirt length weren't really made to be that short, they just roll up their skirts to make them shorter) or that they don't want their legs to be sunburned.

Again, if there is any truth to this, I would think that this trend would probably evolve, back to how it was.

That.

Or we will be seeing variations of Japanese school uniforms with long skirts for good.
