Abstract
A questionnaire survey was carried out on school uniforms of junior and senior high schools in the Tokyo Metropolis. Followings have become clear.
1. Over 90% of the schools prescribe their several uniforms.
2. School uniforms of blazer type are most popular for girls, and of sailor suit type come second.
3. Most of girls' uniforms are dark blue.
4. Before the 10's of Showa, the schools preferred sailor suit type or bolero type uniforms to blazer type uniforms.
5. Private and national schools have more uniforms of sailor suit type or bolero type in proportion to the number of their uniforms than public schools.
6. Junior high schools have more uniforms of sailor suit type or bolero type than senior high schools.
7. More than 50% of girls' winter uniforms are made of all wool fabrics, while various wool/polyester blended fabrics have the preference as summer materials.
8. Private and national girls' schools regulate more rigidly the uniforms, other clothes and accessories than public schools.
