sathanas 503 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I've noticed that white socks are becoming far more prevalent in recent JAVs. I very much support this as the girls look a lot cuter in white socks. A question to our Japanese friends on this board- Does this represent current fashion trends in schools or is it more of a retro theme purely to enhance cuteness? In Britain up to the early 80s most schoolgirls up to the age of about 13 wore white knee socks but then it rapidly changed to ankle socks and on to tights. My all-time favourite JK video star is a good example as she has made a return to action after a long absence and now seems to prefer white knee socks ero9007 and huberp76 2 Quote Link to comment
uguisuAnn 65 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Sorry for the long period of unanswered your question, perhaps due to the small number of Japanese. The following survey is available for current high school uniforms. It is in plain Japanese, so machine translation is considered possible. https://cancam.jp/archives/1116034 Current high school uniforms: Color of socks: -Black 43.3% -Navy blue 25.3% -White 18.0% Length of socks: -12cm 38.7% - 7cm 29.3% -15cm 11.7% The majority of the students in town are wearing below-the-knee skirts and ankle socks. Those colors vary. White knee socks are not seen on the streets. Students don't have the freedom to be diverse in their uniforms and must dress as specified by their teachers (mostly male). White knee socks were fashionable in the 1990s. They are still used in cosplay as classic attire. The extremely short skirts and deep colored calf socks often seen in the illustrations are the uniform of our generation. It didn't prevent unexpected low angle shots on stairs and legs from turning purple to frostbite during a blizzard. Today's skirts are designed in such a way that they cannot be shortened, and wrap culottes are on the rise. And girls can also choose pants (and boys can choose skirts as well) in many schools. By the way, I don't actually see many squat-style toilets here. I've never used those either. I can do splits, pointe, pliés, but somehow I can't balance on this squat without much turnout.

Aaron 402 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Someone on this forum has put together a sock wetting compilation. Knee length white socks do look super cute, but in the compilation they seem to be the minority. What I sometimes wonder is how common are toilet accidents in Japanese schools? It seems quite a strict race. Here's a few white socks from the net. Quote Link to comment
