What’s a teen anime protagonist without their trusty school uniform? As anime has grown and developed over the years, school uniforms have become as intrinsic to the genre as the characters wearing them on a daily basis. They have inspired countless cosplayers and fan artists to develop their art, and their iconic status will only increase as time goes by.

Whether it’s shooting arrows at mythical monsters or playing a deadly card game, anime characters will never hesitate to don their sailor uniforms or their blazers to battle the forces of evil.

10 Kagome’s Green Sailor Uniform Is A Standout (Inuyasha)

Despite spending most of her time in feudal Japan, Kagome prefers wearing her school uniform as she travels with Inuyasha in search of the Shikon Pearl fragments.

Her uniform is clearly modeled after the classic Japanese sailor school uniform, and, as anime tends to favor blue versions, Kagome’s stands out for its emerald-green color, which contrasts nicely with Inuyasha’s red kimono. She’s rarely seen wearing anything else, usually only changing when she’s back in modern times or when her uniform is destroyed during a battle with a monster.

9 U.A.’s Uniform Is One Of The Best In Shonen Anime (My Hero Academia)

U.A. High School is regarded as the number one academy for Japanese heroes-in-training, even housing the great hero All Might as one of its most prolific teachers. While students are usually running around in their hero costumes when there’s an important battle nearby, U.A. does provide them with a formal uniform consisting of a dark-green skirt or pair of pants, a grey blazer, a white, long-sleeved shirt, and a red tie.

The U.A. uniform is a huge contrast to the classic gakuran (the military-inspired uniform worn by male Japanese students) that tends to appear in shonen anime like Mob Psycho 100 and emulates the uniforms worn by private school students.

8 Haruhi Suzumiya’s Sky-Blue Uniform Is Out-Of-This-World Great (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya)

The story of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is set in the fictional North High, where Haruhi and her SOS Brigade recruits spend their time looking for supernatural activity. Its uniform consists of brown pants, a blue blazer, a white shirt and a red tie for boys, and a sky-blue sailor uniform with the school’s insignia, a red bow, and a belt for girls.

Haruhi’s uniform bears a striking similarity to the one that Rei and Asuka wear in Neon Genesis Evangelion, but is unique enough in color and design that it’s easily distinguishable.

7 Madoka’s Uniform Is A Magical Girl Staple (Puella Magi Madoka Magica)

The girls of Puella Magi Madoka Magica go to Mitakihara Middle School, a strange, futuristic school with classrooms encased in floor-to-ceiling glass, creepily empty hallways, and a gothic rooftop. In other words, it’s a perfect setting for the series’ eerie, surrealist tone.

Its mandatory uniform, which Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka wear for most of the series, is made up of a black plaid skirt, a beige blouse with a red bow, and thigh-high white socks. It’s clearly inspired by other magical girl anime uniforms and has a European feel as a nod to Madoka’s Lolita-inspired magical girl outfit.

6 Sailor Moon’s Sailor Uniform Is Twice As Iconic (Sailor Moon)

Perhaps the most iconic uniform within the magical girl genre, Usagi’s blue sailor uniform set the standard for many others thereafter. The blue skirt, blue-and-white shirt, and oversized red bow took on a completely different meaning for anime fans worldwide when Usagi transformed for the first time into Sailor Moon, guardian of Love and Justice.

Sailor Moon creator Naoko Takeuchi, who’s a huge fan of high fashion, was able to take a simple, everyday outfit and effortlessly turn it into a timeless statement piece. It certainly made young Japanese girls feel like they could unleash their inner Sailor Senshi any day.

5 Sakura Kinomoto’s Uniform & Its Magical Details (Cardcaptor Sakura)

CLAMP always manages to create some of the most magical and alluring outfits in anime history. At first glance, Sakura Kinomoto’s school uniforms might not look like much. They’re heavily inspired by the ever-present sailor uniform like many others in anime, but their beauty and style are in the details like its winged insignia and white beret.

Sakura wears multiple outfits throughout the anime and movies, including the various custom-made ensembles that Tomoyo makes for her, but none is as emblematic as her school uniform. It’s simple, yet elegant, and when she wears it with her iconic red rollerblades, it turns into a magical outfit without any need for a transformation.

4 Cross Academy’s Gothic & Stylized Uniforms (Vampire Knight)

The students of Cross Academy wear elaborate uniforms that vary in color depending on what class they attend. Human male students from the Day class wear a black three-piece suit with a red tie and white shirt, and female students like Yuuki wear a black coat, a black pleated skirt, and a red bow. The Vampires of the Night class wear the same ensemble but with the opposite colors.

Since Vampire Knight is set in a gothic environment and deals with, well, vampires, it makes sense for the students’ uniforms to be stylized accordingly. They’re unique, recognizable, and fit perfectly with the aesthetic of the story and characters, making them a favorite of cosplayers.

3 Ashford Academy’s Elegant Take On The Gakuran (Code Geass)

Fans of Code Geass are used to seeing ex-Prince Lelouch vi Britannia wearing his elegant, black Ashford Academy uniform. The double-breasted, turtleneck coat with gold detailing is CLAMP’s take on a more European version of the gakuran.

Female students like Lelouch’s sister Nunnally wear a much more colorful uniform: a bright yellow double-breasted blazer with a belt, a short, black skirt, and a dark-green tie with the Ashford logo in gold. Both the male and female uniforms are equally stylish and appealing, showing off the Ashford Academy students’ high status.

2 Ouran’s Fairytale Dresses & Light-Blue Blazers (Ouran High School Host Club)

Ouran Academy prides itself on housing the children of Japan’s wealthiest and it shows. According to Kyoya, the male students’ uniform, which consists of simple black pants, a light-blue blazer, and a dark-blue tie, costs approximately three thousand dollars and is made to measure by the school’s private tailor.

Female students like the Host Club’s self-proclaimed manager Renge, on the other hand, wear light-yellow flowy dresses with white cuffs, and thin, dark-red ribbons tied around the collar. The uniform is so ridiculously impractical that it could only fit the often-clueless, upper-class ladies at Ouran.

1 Hyakkaou’s Bright-Red Uniforms Hide Its Students’ Dark Intentions (Kakegurui)

The hierarchy-obsessed students of Hyakkaou Private Academy wear the standard rich private school combo of blazers, white shirts, and plaid bottoms, but there’s something captivating about them nonetheless.

Unlike other anime uniforms, which prioritize style over reality, Hyakkou’s looks like it could exist outside animation’s 2D confines. It seems comfortable and classy, and the bright red of the blazer draws the eye easily, but the beautiful and proper uniform is only a façade to hide the insane amount of gambling happening behind closed doors. But since that’s what fans enjoy about Kakegurui anyways, and there won’t be complaints any time soon.
