I've been trying to plan out my drawing for the upcoming Art Jam (theme = school), and so I started thinking about school uniforms and what kind I was going to give the characters in my drawing (assuming of course that I get it done on time)...

Anyway, this led me to the thought of: What do you think are the (or some of the) best school uniforms in anime?

I'm going to say the Haruhi and Shana uniforms. It's pure coincidence that they're both Noizi Ito.

My favourite are either the ones from Shinshi Doumei Cross or Vampire Knight. I think they are a lot more original (although they aren't standard Japanese school uniforms, considering the guys are wearing long coats and it looks very western influenced).

Spica uniform from Strawberry Panic.

I dunno why...I just always thought that the Spica uniforms looked nice and proffesional.

RELEASE THE PLAID!:


Also: I''s Pure; Gatekeepers; St. Luminous Mission High School; Kamichama Karin; Cardcaptor Sakura; Kanon; D.N. Angel.

Uniforms with lots of detail have been making the transition from manga/games to anime better these last few years, but the very best designs are probably going to still be found there. Here's a couple of ones I like from some games that never were able to make the transition (and have more or less disappeared from existence):

elementary: minami-ke
senior high: clannad, strawberry panic (would be pretty obvious if you wore them), geass, fate stay night (just because of tohsaka...)

Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora, also, they are simply beast, even though I dropped the series after watching half of the first ep.

I liked Ashford Academy's (Code Geass) uniform too. The boys' uniform are not typical, and the girls' uniform are so stylish.

I also like the uniform in Lovely Complex. It's so cute.

EDIT: Forgot to include the ones in Ef - A Tale of Memories and True Tears. I especially like the True Tears one.

What's wrong with using the standard sailorfuku?

When it comes to seifuku though, I prefer the more modern, Japanized western uniform.



A friend of mine from Kyoto used to wear seifuku like those worn in 『リンダ リンダ リンダ』 Linda Linda Linda when she was still in high school. I liked it a lot.



I suppose you'd only like to see drawn seifuku, but I don't watch a whole lot of anime, so I can't come up with any examples nor screenshots. There is bound to be someone here who can think of some resembling examples.
