The student uniform has become the center of attention when the Japanese media announced that Thai university uniforms, with its short-sleeve body-hugging white blouse and short form-fitting black skirt common on every university campus in Thailand, as the world’s sexiest student uniform, based on an online poll.
Taking sides in one of the great debates in Asia, the Japanese news Web sites Rocket News 24 and Livedoor have declared that the uniforms worn by female Thai university students are the sexiest in the world, outpointing the short pleated skirts and sailor blouses ubiquitous to Japanese higher education.
The news has caused people in the educational sphere to strike a note of disapproval one after another.
Deputy Education Minister Chaiyos Jiramethakorn said universities and business colleges should come down hard on revealing outfits. He said the ministry is set to call in university administrators to discuss the problem and work out policies to deal with it.
Indeed, it is common in Thailand for educators and moral welfare guardians to rail against the habit of young women shortening the skirts – which are intended to be worn at knee length – to the point where sitting demurely in public must be a challenge.
The starched white shirts, which are adorned with signature campus pins, are frequently so many sizes too small in the bust that they seem to challenge the strength of both fabric and buttons.
