WHY JAPANESE SCHOOL SKIRTS ARE SO SHORT.

                                      WHY JAPANESE SCHOOL SKIRTS ARE SO SHORT

    Most of Japanese school girls have their own “seifuku” (school uniform). They have their own style, and the others. But, the most outstanding from their “seifuku” is the skirt. The length of the skirts are so short. The culture of wearing short skirt began when Gyaru culture was trending in 90’s influenced by the legendary pop star Namie Amuro with her super short skirt, thin eyebrows and bleached hair. And basically, school girls adopted it to their “seifuku”.  It’s so easy to make your skirt length shorter than before. You can cut it, fold it over the waistband or using a “skirt belt”. However, it’s too risky if you cut your skirt because there’s a “skirt length check” at the school and it’s held randomly. If you get caught by the teacher, you can get punished. So, using a “skirt belt” and fold it over the waistband are more common.
