Ahahaha!! You understand what's happening correctly, a lot of perverts!
School girls love to keep wearing school uniform outside school, because it's cuter. I'd do so if I were a school girl, but I don't like corporate uniform. I miss those days~. :p

It's turning from a school requirement to a fashion sense. most students from schools in other countries hate to wear them and mostly, they prefer the uniforms in Japan due to the cuteness. Some students in Japan on the otherhand wear their uniforms outside of the schools premise intentionally and other reasons such as laziness in picking what to wear. It's a good thing that many like the Japanese school uniform and the only bad thing about it is that it attracts a lot perverts. Some guys even wear the uniforms of girl due to them having a fetish on it which is disgusting and gross.

I know it's not a fashion show now, but when I was young, fashion and love was everything to me. LOL
I wonder how many times I was told I must not wear jeans to the office. I was a very strange employee. I sometimes wore wig to work, played the guitar at lunch time, and I knew some people called me "alien". LOL But that doesn't mean I was not hardworking. I learned I feel very much stressed against being managed by someone else. So I changed my carrer and I've been working from home for over 5 years by now with relaxed style, too.

At Japanese companies, when they make us wear the company uniforms, it's usually only for female workers. Maybe that's another reason I feel offensive against it. Men can wear whatever tie, shirt, and suit but only us, women are forced to get dressed in the same way. Male workers like to discuss which woman looks cuter in the company uniform and this makes me irked. (-_-)

I've never had to wear a uniform and since I work from home I usually just wear jeans, a t-shirt and cushy socks. Sometimes if I work at night I just wear a nightshirt! Even when I didn't work from home I didn't have to wear a uniform or at school either though I understand many schools are now requiring it in the US which may not be a bad idea. I used to agonize over what to wear to school and you probably shouldn't have to stress out like that when you are in a place to LEARN. It's not a fashion show.

Haha! Quitting due to a bad uniform is a good enough reason to me!

Interesting!
Japanese school uniforms are of course very well known from manga and anime .
Around here I have only seen them in England.In Belgium even 50 years ago, we've never had school uniforms ( except some of the girl schools) .
We had to be dressed sensibly , which has also sort of disappeared these days. About the only thing that was and still is a rule, you cannot wear a cap or a hat or any kind of head cover to school.
I don't know of a company in Belgium with a company dress code ( except Mc Donalds and so ).
I usually wear business suit and shirt with a tie , depending on the occasion. I like my ties to match well with my shirts.
As a man , you can't wear shorts or sleeveless shirts in the office. It's not a rule, but it's not done.

When I watched 'Suika' ( japanese tv drama) I saw that the female workers at the bank complained that their company uniform looked too much like girl school uniform. That was the first time I became aware that company uniforms exist
Ah, yes . The skirt length debate . I seem to remember that at my sisters' school, the skirt for official occasions was specified to be 5 cm above the knee, not less! It seems more sensible than a fixed length of 45 or 35 cm, because then the longer girls can't show much more leg than the shorter ones. Of course this also leads to discussions between the daughter and the mom on where exactly the knee begins !

I didn't like the dress cord when I started to work. "Nail color should be soft pink." "Hair color should be black or dark brown." (No facial piercings, or tatoos no way! Those who have things like this first of all wouldn't pass the job intervew!)
The company uniform was far from being kawaii, it was just boring, and I'm depressed that I had to wear it day after day after day…from 9 to 5 everyday. It was just like a torture. I knew that's gonna happen to me, when I decided to work for the company, but I thought I'd get used to it. As it turned out, I left the company in 5 months. LOL! Of course there were other reasons I quit it, too. :p

That's so interesting! When I was in school, I used to want a school uniform, but sadly, the uniforms available did not look cute. I could be a fake schoolgirl, lol! I don't think I will, though, it just doesn't suit my tastes. I really dislike company uniforms, they don't usually try to make them look nice and sometimes they don't fit. I can understand certain types of places would need a uniform, but I'd rather it be a general color coordination and a name tag. Too much emphasis is put on appearing uniformal and, well, plain for work. (This type of topic really gets me fired up, especially with discrimination towards personal aesthetic choices *such as tattoos, facial piercings, abnormal hair color* So I won't bore you with that! lol)
