Sailor Fuku refers to the characteristic [http://fr.academic.ru/pictures/frwiki/83/Sailor-fuku_for_winter.jpg "sailor suit"] schoolgirl uniforms worn in Japan. Sailor fuku uniforms are actually based on late Victorian/early 20th-century "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victorian_dress_reform rational dress]" [http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/File:Science_ofDress101Fig6.png girl's fashions] (themselves based on European naval uniforms), but the prevalence of sailor-suited school girls in anime, manga, and other forms of Japanese media show how iconic the sailor fuku is in Japan. This is true despite many Japanese schools having switched to more Western-patterned uniforms. However, there are some American schools that use Sailor Fuku.
