A survey asking Japanese which female uniforms they find most appealing demonstrates that in some ways the maid still has a long way to go…
The ranking, which it should be noted covers “professions” and so excludes schoolgirls:
1. Nurse
2. Cheerleader
3. Waitress
4. Stewardess
5. Maid
6. Miko
7. Receptionist
8. Office Lady
10. Policewoman
For those who have not heard of them, “elevator girls” are smartly turned out ladies whose job it is stand in an elevator all day and press the buttons for visitors – they can be found in high class department stores and similar.

Miko and Maid for me Thank you
maid saiko
REALLY ELEVATOR GIRL ? WHAT A GREAT JOB lulz ....
1, 5, and 6 are very appealing for me. The others, not so much.
In the end...it makes sense a cop uniform is at the bottom.
They still have elevator operators? And receptionist is a specific kind of uniform?
Man, my mind is melted.
This ranking is pretty fucked up, tbh. Maybe there aren't enough mikos so they aren't known?
Stewardes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wonderful!
... The pictures make me wonder whether the pantsu flashing is part of the respective jobs for the respective people?
"Oh, and by the way, there's a clause in the contract you just signed that says you have to flash your underwear to each customer in a natural manner. Have a nice day."
We need more #9's in Canada!
10 for me and hopefully she keeps hitting me with that stick
<3 Number 6.
Miko's simply the best x)
maids are the best! :)
I thought Office Lady would be a bit higher
Yes, that right miss elevator girl... I believe the direction I'd like us to be going to be going is up AND down... if you know what I mean.
1,2,,5 and 6 for me
Polar opposite number 1's for me - office lady on a domineering but SEXY businesswoman, miko on a cute, composed and cultured girl (not sure I want to say ojou-sama or not.)
Elevator ladies also frequent the pokemon department stores in celadon and goldenrod cities.
Since when is being a cheerleader a profession?
With all the chikan out there, I'm surprised train attendant wasn't on the list.
6, 7 in anime context and in real-life, there's not much difference long as they're appealing and has a mind of their own.
Maid and Miko!!!
1-5-10 best combo :D
all but the miko
1, 2 , 3 , 5 , 9 for my preference = godly -RR
;D
1, 3, 5, 6 & 8 plz, with 5 over 3. Female doctor, teacher and hadaka apron were missing though.
There has been no dress code for doctors since when the world was greyscale. One of the privileges of being higher in rank than a nurse.
As far as I know, there never has been one for teachers, and hadaka apron isn't a profession at all.
wow, u know why this is right? it becuz most of these women are paid to be nice to ppl, even the creepy disgusting otaku who come into their work or busness...that and becuz skirts are obviously common on those uniforms...the police woman is also there(and number 10) becuz the idea of being arrested and dominated is a major fetish for guys in and outside of japan.
Meidos = the best
OL FTL...
all r good but meh fav is school unifrom luckily the school i went it was full of them ¬¬....anyways in here policewoman doesnt dress like that D: but it looks hot:
offiece lady
waitress
maid
policewoman
Wouldn't Receptionist and Office Lady be pretty much the same thing?
Not always...'cause receptionist use the same uniform every day, but the office ladies can change clothes sometimes. I guess.
I think I'm missing something. I don't get why miko is so appealing.
For me it's:
#1 Schoolgirl
#2 Schoolgirl
#3 Schoolgirl
#4 Miko
#5 Maid
I hate nurse, since I know too much IRL. I'm a doctor.
The only thing missing is a Dominatrix! As the saying goes No Pain No Gain!
Is there really a difference in outfit between receptionist and office lady? And no I'm not just talking about the actual images posted. Those images could have been reversed and it would have still looked right. Seems kind of arbitrary.
Receptionists sometimes have "uniform" style suits (for example with colours and hats).
Miko, nothing else is needed imo.
maids and miko ftw no school tho?
Maid first
the ofice lady picture is delicious....but where's gundam/knightmare pilot?
No coincidence that all of these are very common in hentai. Though I'm not sure about elevator girl or policewoman. I should pay more attention.
4 and 5 ftw. 10 ftf
Maid, Waitress, Nurse, Flight Attendant, Receptionist, Elevator Girl, Office Lady, and then Policewoman.
Do they like women wearing those uniforms, or ANYONE wearing those uniforms? Judging by Japan and their traps, I'll say the latter.
elevator girl?they have people operate elevators in japan?
Yes, as Artefact mentioned they are often found in high class department stores. I remember seeing them when I was there and was rather taken aback.
I like a chic in heavy armor that shows a little flesh.
Wehere are the racequeens?!
7 and 8 all the way.
