In winter, Japanese girls really wear short skirts or semi-long skirts with bare thighs (depending on the school area)
Especially when I was in Osaka, I went out at the end of 5438+ 10 and waited for the red light. I saw a young father with a 5-or 6-year-old daughter and a little girl in a short skirt. I was as cold as a dog, and I was afraid to see it. Later, I also learned that the Japanese have been trained in cold tolerance since childhood, also to exercise their children's health.
Including middle school students, don't wear them at all, but they still wear stockings to keep warm. Some school skirts are very rich, although I don't think they are useful.
As for down jackets, I also asked. There are still some men's models in the store, but there are fewer women's models. One possibility is that Japanese girls love makeup, while down jackets are clothes that ruin their bodies. The second point may also be because they are not used to it. In addition, many students actually wear school uniforms, and it is inconvenient to wrap up a coat and down jacket at most.
Personally, I think it's better not to be so stiff. Many people in Japan have various leg and foot problems after middle age, which is actually related to excessive cold-resistant training. I can't do it anyway. I wrapped my down jacket. You can wear your skirt.
In fact, I hesitated when I chose to answer this question. But considering that many friends will be curious about this question, I chose this question bravely. As a person who came back from Japan, I can combine this phenomenon with my own real experience in Japan and the facts I witnessed with my own eyes. The answer must have been expected by everyone, but it was somewhat unexpected.
When I went to Japan, I brought a new down jacket. I think I can save some money in winter, so I don't have to buy it. But later experience told me that it is really unnecessary to buy down jackets. This money can be spent completely. Like the friends who asked questions, I took out the down jacket of Japan's first winter with great interest, put it on my body and walked outside, just feeling warm! How warm it is! Then on the way to Japan, I saw a coat or even a sweater walking on the road. From kindergarten friends to aunts and grandfathers, I felt that the Japanese were actually more frost-resistant than me, a northeast person!
To tell the truth, my uncles and aunts beat me a little less. After all, there is no exposed dermis. But students' parties, kindergartens, primary schools, junior high schools and senior high schools actually wear school uniforms for the winter, with at most a scarf and gloves. As many people know, the uniforms of the Japanese Student Party are no different from our summer clothes. My idea is: Sure enough, perseverance should be cultivated from an early age. You see, I have been practicing anti-freezing since kindergarten!
At first I didn't realize what was wrong with wearing a down jacket. However, both familiar and unfamiliar Japanese saw me wrapped up and asked, "Aren't you hot?" I began to reflect. (In fact, at this time, I especially want to say, "Aren't you cold?" )
Later, there were familiar Japanese around me. I really asked them (high school girls), "Is it not cold to wear bare thighs in winter?" They told me calmly: "Cold!" I asked, "It's cold, why don't you put on more clothes?" Most girls answered me, "Who wears so much? It's really ugly. " A girl told me, "because no one around wears much." Only a few girls said, "Nothing, I can stand it."
In fact, they are also really cold. Every winter, when I see barefoot girls standing still (such as waiting for traffic lights), they are stamping their feet, shaking and shouting "It's so cold ~", but they just don't add clothes. More often, when you look at their thigh skin carefully in winter (of course, this move is limited to female compatriots), you can obviously see frozen goose bumps. However, they still do not add clothes. Why?
In fact, you can already see it from the answers of these girls.
1. Because of ugliness
2. Because everyone around you is dressed like this.
3. Because it is tolerable.
Of course, these are limited to the girls I have asked and met, and I don't know what others think. But at least, these three answers were said by the Japanese themselves, which also explained some phenomena.
Because of ugliness. This is the love of beauty. Everyone has a love of beauty. In order to be beautiful, some people can give themselves a knife, some people can abuse their stomachs, and some people can do things that they can never do at ordinary times ... In front of these, this is patience with the cold, but it is nothing. Japanese girls, in particular, are very precocious, and they pay far more attention to external factors such as appearance, makeup and dressing up than we do. For them, they may not study hard, make money or have a good job, but at least "it seems" that I can't be much worse than others. At least look, I must be beautiful.
Because everyone around you is dressed like this. I think this is also a herd mentality. Because of the influence of "people around you", your own cognition and judgment will unconsciously tend to the public. To put it bluntly, it is "following the crowd." Under this kind of psychology, personal characteristics will gradually disappear. So 70% or 80% of the information you get through Japanese dramas or Japanese dramas or news, or even pictures of "Japanese girls" should be girls in uniform. It can be seen from this that the Japanese dress like this in winter. 1% of people may be strange to wear this. If 90% people wear it like this, the remaining 10% will give you a derogatory "alternative" feeling if they don't wear it like this. A Japanese female high school student I know told me that there was a girl in her class who wore down jackets in winter without makeup or dressing up. When talking about this topic, the Japanese girls around are laughing, the kind of ridicule that "the other party is a freak." Everyone made it clear that they would not associate with such people. Indeed, few students in the class talk to this girl. There are many details, such as wearing aunt's underwear, wearing grandpa's socks and many other very private details. If people around you find them, then you can imagine the reaction of people around you. So among Japanese girls, being different is a good thing, but being too "different" is not necessarily a good thing. Anyway, just follow everyone.
I have to admire the Japanese because I can bear it. They are really patient. Whether from the frost resistance or from other aspects. Not much to say here.
In addition, another interesting phenomenon is that Japanese people, especially Japanese women, are a group who are very dissatisfied with their old age. I once gave my seat to a 70-year-old grandmother on the subway in Japan. As a result, although she was not angry, she told me seriously, "I am still young and I can stand." After asking my tutor, he told me that if the old lady accepted my seat, it would prove that she admitted that she was old. She didn't want to admit it, so she didn't sit. This psychological phenomenon is similar to down jacket. In Japan, only the elderly really wear down jackets, except those who really don't feel cold because of freezing to death. So, I'm still young, why should I wear a down jacket?
Finally, I admit that I am also affected by this. After returning home, I seldom wear down jackets in winter. I also wear boots and short skirts in winter. However, when I go back to the northeast, I will wear a down jacket. In winter, I still have warm pantyhose in my boots. I still feel cold. ...
Accustomed to it, for example.
In Beijing before, everyone said there was smog, and then they went out to see the index. If the index is high, they won't go out. They must wear masks and hats when they go out. When they come back from the outside, they must take off their coats first. Their hats are gone, and their faces and nostrils are washed. Besides, windows must never be opened, and some windows must be sealed with tape.
Now in Wuhan, no one around has worn a mask. When I went out wearing a mask, my colleagues thought I had a cold. When I told them about the smog, they disdained to smile. It's in the north. There is no smog in Wuhan. I was horrified to find that the smog in Wuhan is often worse than that in Beijing, but now I don't wear a mask when I go out. Do as Romans do in Rome.
Japan has been dressed like this since kindergarten. What seems to be the earliest exercise spirit. Has continued to this day. This is how school uniforms are designed. You can't say they're not cold. Why don't adults show their legs?
First of all, the weather in Japan is not as cold as in our country, because it is close to the seaside, so the climate is humid. I live in Toyama, Japan. It often snows all over the sky in winter, but the temperature is around 0 degrees. Winter is just a pair of trousers and autumn clothes. I wear a coat to go out.
Second, it has something to do with Japanese education and culture. Their tradition holds that children will not gain weight after being frozen for three years. Therefore, children never wear pants, girls' short skirts or boys' shorts in winter, and at most let them wear a small down jacket for winter. My son's kindergarten is full of short shorts, and adding a long-sleeved shirt is a commuter outfit. You can wear a down jacket outside. Children are often seen wearing summer clothes in supermarkets.
Winter's son
Third, it has something to do with heating in Japan. All the equipment in Japan is well heated and cooled. Wherever you go, the weather is warm, and you won't feel cold. You will go to a warm place soon.
Therefore, it snows all over the sky in winter in Japan, and it is normal to see girls with bare thighs.
Studying in Japan.
I feel that Japanese girls always wear a big scarf around their necks and a small skirt under them in winter.
Because this topic has also been asked by Japanese friends, they said that wearing school uniforms is a rule, but leggings can be worn inside. It's just that many girls don't want to wear it. The same is true for primary school students. But when you go to college, you don't need to wear school uniforms, and you don't have so many legs exposed. So they are still cold.
There is also a warm baby, covered all over.
Then there is the subway. It's really not very cold for girls in Tokyo or big cities to take the subway.
Seeing this problem, I found that wearing a down jacket is really different at school. Anyway, my roommate in Canada still wears short sleeves.
