The school had a winter and summer uniform. Sagami Women's University Elementary School hasca Winter and Summer uniform. The Winter uniform seen on the previous page is rather formal. The boys wear all grey suits. (Some images look more like blue suits, so the uniform may have recently changed.) The boys also wear grey felt hats and knee socks. At a tea ceremopny the boys are wearing white knee socks. This may be a dressy tiouch for special occassions. Note the badge on the suit coats. The only color is the blue neckwear. The girls wear a similar uniform with adifferently cut jacket. The girls also wore a bow rather than a tie and a skirt rather than short pants. And the shoes are different. It all looks very English. The basis difference with classic English styles is the headwear. English boys and girls wear different headwear. It is common for Japanese children as we see here to wear the same heaeadwear. The English peaked school cap was once worn at quite a few schools, but is now much less common.
The summer uniform we see here was more informal (figure 1). Again the uniform is similar for the boys and girls. The children wear the same white fabric hats. They do not wear the suit jacket, but white short sleeved shirts and blouses. Many schools like Sagami here have pointed collar shirts for the boys and rounded Peter Pan collars for the girls. Both children have buttoned their collar buttons, but only the girl has the neckwear. That presumably was a school rule. The boy wears grey short pants, probanly a lighter weight than the winter suit shorts. The girl wears a pleated plaid suspender skirt. The boy wears the same grey knee socks wirn during the winter. The girl wears white knee socks and strap shoes.
