Believe it or not, school uniforms are absolutely not only clothes for students. They stand for the culture or beauty appreciation standard of a country. Let’s take a look at school uniforms in different nations.
School Uniforms in England
Style of English school uniforms is rather classic, simple and elegant. Boys wear conventional western-style clothes, regular leather shoes and must wear neckties. Girls also wear western-style clothes, regular leather shoes and must wear bow-ties. This classic clothing style unconsciously affects English students’ temperament (气质) and also sense of beauty.
School Uniforms in Korea
Do you still remember the classic scenes in My Sassy Girl? If you’ve watched it, you will know how stylish Korean students’ uniforms are. Boys wear nice white shirts and western-style trousers. Girls wear white shirts, lovely skirts of latest design and bow knots.
School Uniforms in Malaysia
Students in Malaysia obey rather strict rules. Girls’ dresses must be long enough to cover the knees. Shirts must cover the elbows. Compared with Thai students, they are much more conservative.
School Uniforms in Japan
For students, school uniforms in Japan are not only symbols for schools, but also symbols for the current fashion trends, even affecting students when choosing a school. Japanese school uniforms for girls originate in sailor suits. So they are also called sailor suits or sailor uniforms. Cartoon elements are used on them. Japanese school uniforms for boys are classic dark-colored clothes with stand-up collars, similar to Chinese tunic suits.
