The classic Japanese school uniform is categorized into two main styles: the "Sailor-fuku" and the blazer ensemble. The sailor style, introduced in the early 20th century, features a wide nautical collar and a pleated skirt. The blazer style, which became popular in the 1980s and 90s, mimics Western private school attire with ties, vests, and structured jackets.

School bags are heavily decorated with plushies, pins, and keychain charms (known as jya-jya ) to show personality.
