which (pseudo)seifuku should I take?
since I'll be in Japan in less than one week now, I've got to decide what clothing to take.
一週間以下日本に行きますから、服が決めなきゃいけないのです。
since I've amassed a small collection of (pseduo)seifuku (school uniforms), I'd like to take one to wear~ but I don't know which is best....
小さな山の制服集まってますから、持って行きたいのです~でも、どっちのがいいのでしょうか。。。
(sorry for the poor quality of photos, I really have to stop only feeling like taking photos in the dead of night.... -_-;; )
(写真の悪さがすみませんね。なんとか、いつも夜の中だけで写真とりたくてはいけないと分かってますけど。。。)

grey x pink
グレー×ピンク
Thinking about this, I might die in the grey sweater. It'll be about 800 degrees in Osaka....
よく考えたら、このセーター着ると死ぬかもしれません。大阪にやく800℉に間違えないのです。

cream x pink
クリーム×ピンク
well, the vest is comfy... probably not too warm. at least, it's likely to be less warm than the above, anyway.
ベストはセーターより涼しいですけど。。。

cream x pink (cute ver.)
クリーム×ピンク(かわいいバージョン)
after I'd put together the above, I remembered I have a puff-sleeved blouse. not sure if that's really better or not but I think it's cute ♥ (less 'accurate', however)
上のを集まった後、パフ・スリーブ・ブラスが持ってて覚えちゃいました。この方がいいのか分からないけど、ちょっとかわいいと思いますよ♥(あまり「正し」くないけど。。。)

Sakurako (K-ON! manga ver.)
桜交(けいおん!漫画バージョン)
I think the blue plaid skirt is cuter than plain light blue.... plus I haven't found a nice light blue pleated skirt yet, anyway >_>
As you might notice, the pink skirt above is more of a miniskirt, this one is actually a regulation length uniform skirt, but I'd probably roll it up anyway XD;
(ah, I'm aware I'm missing a blue ribbon tie. I'm working on that...)
青いチェックはやわらかい青いだけがかわいいと思います。その上、まだ見つかってない、そのやわらかい青いのですね。
もう気づいたかもしれないのですが、このピンクのはミニスカートで、これは普通のスカートです。でもだぶん、アタシはそれをちょっとつめます。。。
(あっ、青いリボンタイがないと分かっています。まだ探してる中のです。)

fail!Tokiwadai (Railgun)
負け!ときわ台(レールガン)
Okay so I bought this vest for cheap online, and the image there indicated it would be lighter than it actually is. So basically it fails for Tokiwadai, even without red stripes or emblem. orz. but you can see the grey skirt, at least! which, depending on the source of your info, might or might not be accurate for K-ON! anime seifuku (figures say light blue, the Azone dolls say grey)
んで、このベストは、ネットで安く買って、そのイメージはずいぶん現実よりやわらかかったのです。orz.だから、ときわだいの制服の負けです。でもグレーのスカートが見えますよ!それは、どこのだれを聞いたら、けいおん!アニメの制服に正しいのです。(フィギュアはやわらかい青いで、アゾネ人形はグレーです。)
I do plan on raiding some seifuku shops while I'm in the country, too ♥
日本にいる時には制服のショップも買いに行くつもりですよ~♥
put this under "cosplay" because, technically it is. I'm not a high school student anymore XD; even though I wear these like normal clothing.... ^^;
これは「コスブレ」のカテゴリーにしたのは、ま、そうでしょう?アタシ、もう高校生じゃないのですから。でも普通の服で着ますけど。。。











Love this one the most ^_^
I agree with MuffinGirl, but i understand if it's too hot to wear XD
hmm.... maybe I should just suck it up XD
or! I could wear the cardigan around my waist! ufu~ that's pretty 'authentic' isn't it... hmmm....
The skirts are way too long. Try cutting them in half.
Anyway, 1 vote for the 2nd pic.
as I said, I'd likely roll up the longer skirts. I'd rather not cut them in case they came out uneven, plus re-hemming would be a pain.
Thanks for your input!
I voted! XD Hope to see more pics when you come back ^^
thanks for your input! :D
I'm sure I'll have loads of photos to post~ I'll be in Japan for two weeks this time ^^
Got my vote!
THink, dress smartly in uniform maybe?
Also, are those ties done up like that intentionally?
haha not really XD; I need to retie the tie, I kept it half-tied so it would stay on the hanger better...
grey/pink looks nice, even if you take the sweater off it will still look good ^^
thank you!
Since your going to Japan in less then a week, I recommend that you do not wear anything with long sleeves.
August is the hottest month in Japan and it's going to be really hot plus it's humid.
Trust me, being a person that goes to Japan every year for Comiket and going to Tokyo again in around a week, this is something I know very well. Dress for the weather...the hot weather!!!
All the outfits look great but don't use the first one cause it has long sleeves.
thanks for your input XD I'm aware Japan will be hot - I've been checking the weather forecasts for those weeks and more recently. all of the items are fairly light, and the blouse under the first one has short sleeves. I won't wear long sleeves outside, but I'll be going in and out of air conditioned buildings so actually I'll need to have something with me as I get cold pretty easily, anyway.
Since you are going to Japan...want to meet up as I'll be in Japan from August 2nd to August 18. Be going to Comiket as well...
ah, sure~
I'll be in Osaka until midday on the 8th, then in Tokyo through the 12th (yes I'm missing Comiket T_T schedule didn't end up working out...)
I wonder if there are many other readers who will be in Tokyo that week...
Comiket is a 3 day event. So you can still go for the other 2 days of Comiket...
I'm going with a group of DC readers to Comiket. You're welcome to join us if you like!!!
Isn't Comiket the 13th through the 15th? I'm flying home on the 13th ^^;
but thank you for the invitation~ if I end up being able to rearrange things last minute I might join you guys ^^
Ok...then if you want to meet up anytime, just tell me. Be in Tokyo for my entire trip from August 2 - 18...
It's over 35ºC (95ºF) in the hottest part of the day in most of central Japan at the moment, and just below 40ºC on the hotter days - you're better off putting practicality over style. It's not going to matter what you look like if you end up passing out from the heat (which a lot of people are at the moment) or dripping with sweat. You're best off with whichever is least uncomfortable in hot, humid weather.
Selidor, I agree. The weather is hot and humid and I say dress for the weather. Wear shorts and a t-shirt is more than enough. If you want to enjoy a trip to Japan, then wear clothes that are comfortable and everything...
You'll be sweating like mad if you wear those clothes...
these are actually pretty comfortable for me, and not heavy fabrics really, esp. the pink set. it's also only one outfit out of many, and I've got a bunch of dresses + skirts planned (I don't really own any shorts XP) this would just be a one-day thing, probably wearing it while I do shopping rounds in areas like Harajuku or Akihabara XD;
I'll take care of myself so I don't pass out, I promise~
tell you the truth, I don't remember ppl walking around with seifuku >_< just the ppl after the school going to game on Akiba...
Tokyo will be damn hot, so get just the t-shirt and skirt ^^;;;
Ah, it's not as though I'm wearing it to fit in, not at all XD I'm only bringing one because I like them, that's all.
I'm aware it will extraordinarily hot, as I said in the post. All of these items are actually pretty light, although they may not look it (the pink skirt in particular). This would also only be one outfit out of a week's wardrobe anyway~
Naruhodo, the main focus is, if you're comfortable with them, why not use? I vote for cream x pink, looks cute
