Outrage Over Schoolgirl Trousers

preview9e5bd65072f761e9188c7b6868f0b1cf.jpg

After complaints from parents over cold legs, a school has opted to reform its uniform to allow schoolgirls to dispense with skirts, if they choose. The prospect of allowing schoolgirls to wear trousers has attracted outrage.

However, with the plan being organised by teachers, a normal choice of trousers proved impossible, and “pantaloons” were settled on to preserve the modesty of the schoolgirls, now they would no longer be displaying their legs…

The plan was implemented by a (nearly) girls only high school, where many cycle to school, and apparently complaints arose over cold legs.

Quoth the school:

“We initially tried ‘boots cut’ and ‘low rise slacks’, etc, but when we had girls trial them, they exposed their backs and bellies when stretching out their arms; this was felt to be too stimulating in a high school. So the principal opted for pantaloons.”

“Sailor uniforms were originally the uniforms of sailors, they match any sort of trousers.”

However local papers soon reported the matter, and an outcry on the Internet arose. “It’s an outrageous revival of militarism!”, “They look like they’re in wartime, and it’s totally unfashionable.”

A minority actually considered the plight of the girls cycling about in the freezing temperatures.

When it comes to the girls themselves, a third of them (some 300) cycle to school. Orders for the new uniforms opened this month, and one person has reserved one. The pupils themselves are said to be of mixed opinion – some say they’d never wear them, whilst others thought it a good idea.

Via ZakZak.

Schoolgirl fashion is serious business. Clearly, no one would have come out and said this, but what proportion must have objected on predictable lolicon grounds?

    Maybe they should go for a compromise like this, pantaloons during cold seasons, and normal skirts on warmer seasons. That way both sides will be satisfied to some extent. Or am I the only one moderate enough to suggest this?

    what about just make them all wear jeans and a particular shirt... make that the uniform... i mean, tho it arouses me to hear about assault storys on school girls that wear skirts i still think this is a good time to put a stop to it.. i sort of like the sailor uniform but if they can get something else that has pants and make pants the uniform around all japan i think it would really be a good step forward into protecting this girls from assailants.

    Well it hasn't helped over here and we don't have school uniforms at all any more.
    Frankly, when it comes to school uniforms I'm not that partisan. I mean, I like the classic sailorfuku, but then again some of the more modern uniforms can be very stylish too.
    But this particular uniform looks horrible. Quite apart from the "let's invade Korea" aura it exudes, it's looks extremely shitty. At least the Nazis had style.

    The skirts are just really short, as well. I mean, really there's nothing wrong with skirts either, some of them are just sensually short, and honestly, I do absolutely love it, but it's not necessary except in sensual pictures done for that reason. Why not just knee-length skirts?

    Just for pictures? What about us pervs actually living in Japan?!??

    There's something special about a girl freezing in a short skirt cause she prioritizes looking good versus being warm.

    Has anyone considered long dresses? That would definitely be warmer then a skirt.

    If the main concern is it's cold because they are riding they're bike, then a long dress, wjile keeping them warm while they ride, create a situation where the actual act of riding it much harder.

    When I was staying in Kyoto in winter a couple of years ago, girls were all wearing long skirts or pants. Each school has its own policies on the issue I suppose.

    I think it's a good idea. What's wrong with that? I mean my old Catholic High School had a similiar program where during non-cold seasons girls were allowed to wear either skirts or long pants, but it was mandatory to wear pants during winter. And I know a few girls who would rather wear pants all year long. The same can be said for the other way.

    And how are pants the epitome of militarism anyway? Guys just calm down...

    Yeah, in my Catholic High School girls had the option to wear both pants and skirts.

    It wasn't mandatory to wear a specific one during any season though. Some girls wore skirts all year long...

    A hot girl will still be a hot girl wearing pants though. Girls pants are tight, and you can see their asses better (nicely outlined).

    I'm actually kinda wierded out by the fact it looks exactly like a set of U.S. Navy sailor Dress Whites dyed dark blue. Coincidence? I don't care.

    This may be the last place to say this, but the whole uniform stunt of Japan's needs to die when it goes this far. The girls are cold, let them wear pants. Whoop - de - doo. How the hell is flashing leg 'modest' anyways?

    Lets all just have regular clothes. The symbol of the school is important not the uniform itself. It's just for loli, high school fetish...

    I just dropped off my little brother in law that other day at his high school and it was freezing, yet most of the girls still decided to wear skirts even though a simple khaki pants option is available.

    Both him and I were in shock at such decisions as him and I had thermals under our own pants and could not imagine being out in such attire (if we were girls or Scotsmen I assume).

    In any case, although he did not have an opinion, I told him that maybe they didn't want to look like a bunch of lesbians...or perhaps fashion truly is at the top of their priority list (no matter the circumstance). I guess what I'm trying to say is that unless they start offering a fashionable jean option, people shouldn't worry too much about their beloved cultural icon going away anytime soon.

    None of the schools I went to had uniforms, but one nearby actually had a unisex uniform consisting of black jeans and sweater - problem solved, some might say.

    Yes, because pants on girls is SO outrageously unprecedented. Women today NEVER wear anything but skirts.

    OTL, guys.

    Girls in long pants/trousers turn me on more than skirts. I guess people like me are the reason long pants can't be accepted on school girls.

    Oh wait, I'm probably a minority. ;p

    The truly frightening mental image is the poster above is actually a man.

    And I guess it never occurred to anyone there to try to implement a more flexible dress code and let the girls choose their own clothes. As said before, most just wear skirts anyway, at least they can't bitch if it's their own decision to freeze. I'd wager any fashion savvy girl wouldn't be caught dead in those, it's like the Village People outfit that didn't make it to the finals.

    Jeez...although it's my first post, how not-so-erotic.

    If anime schoolgirls wore that kind of skirtless suit, interest in anime might decline a lot. Bye-bye schoolgirl fanservice.

    And here I thought that all this time that America had more than its share of Soccermoms, but I didn't know that Japan had them too!

    Japanese soccer moms (usually the local PTA) make American soccer moms look positively tame.
