The U.K., Malaysia and Ireland have nice school uniforms, but the Japanese school attire seemingly takes it to another level, leaving the students looking like little sailors and marching band leaders? The variety of uniforms as well as the ways students customize them as far as they are allowed is amazing. PingMag shows you interesting details in fashion and the social performance that accompany this apparel to a point where the traditional Japanese school uniform has developed beyond the schoolyard and into pop culture.

A very interesting read at the source.....

We have some very attractive school uniforms in South Africa as well. ALL school kids have to wear uniforms and each and every school has their own.

That's cool...

My old school charged us for uniforms which were a terrible quality. We had to keep getting replacement shirts/trousers because they kept ripping, and new jumpers because they got faded really quickly from navy blue to purple which isn't a school colour. Stupid school got a fortune off us students just from uniforms...then textbooks...then tuition...b*stards. Bitter much, am I? Just a wee bit.

I think they look quite smart!
