Why are the skirts of Japanese school uniforms so short?
The reason why Japanese students' school uniform skirts are so short is because they are influenced by animation, comics and games.

Japanese girls' skirts are mainly influenced by ACG culture, namely animation, comics and games. Under the guidance of this culture, otaku culture came into being, which led to the aesthetic view of Japanese girls that the school uniforms of junior and senior high school girls should be short skirts. In fact, many schools in Japan stipulate that the skirt length of school uniforms is also below the knee, but because of this concept, girls often change their skirts to be particularly short.

At first, Japanese girls were basically short skirts in nylon stockings. In 1990s, when Japanese pop idols Namie Amuro and Ayumi Hamasaki put short skirts and white bubble socks on the screen, short skirts and loose bubble socks gradually became popular. After 2000, with the bursting of Japan's economic bubble, only students with good grades can go to private schools in Japan, and private schools require students to wear straight socks, so short skirts and straight socks began to be popular all over the country.
