While most such School Swimsuits are dark blue, occasionally, girls are shown wearing ''white'' versions, for similar reasons to why men [[Fetish Fuel|love]] [[Wet Sari Scene|wet T-shirt contests]].

If a character even brings this to the [[Beach Episode]] rather than wearing a bikini, it is to show that she is more prudent (or in some cases, more immature) than the rest of the cast.

** Some of the girls in wear these. Understandable, given that they're ''in'' school and all. But some of the girls will wear them outside of school, while others wear something flashier (and often skimpier).
** The most hilarious use of this was during the Mahora Festival [[Tournament Arc]] where Eva [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v12/c101/14.html found herself in a bet with Al] where she will be forced to enter her next match wearing a school swimsuit together with [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v12/c101/19.html a whole bunch of other classic fanservice accessories] if Setsuna loses the match. Even resident pervert Chamo was impressed at Al's knowledge of turn-ons.

** School swimsuits tend to only come up when swimming at school (natch), with mostly bikinis being worn to the beach at Chiyo's summer home and to Okinawa (the exceptions being Osaka and, after the first year, Chiyo, though those aren't school swimsuits, either). However, in the sports fest one year, Kagura can be seen running around in the background looking for a school swimsuit, and in the manga, when Tomo suggests making a girly uniform, Kimura already has a design for it, involving a school swimsuit, a [[Sailor Fuku|school uniform]] top, a pair of [[Animal
** In the manga, Yukari wears a bikini to the school pool while the swimming club is meeting there. She considers that it might be too much for the young boys to handle, but if she wore a school swimsuit, "they might like that better."

** Kimura is just plain obsessed with them. In the manga, he notes in front of his class that a teacher friend of his, who teaches at an all-girl school, told him that the kids there wear their PE outfits in homeroom because they have PE as their first class. "And in summer, they wear their... their swimsuits..." ''He bursts into tears at the thought.''

* When the girls of ''[[Girls und Panzer]]'' go to buy swimsuits in OAV 1, Mako says she'd be fine wearing the school swimsuit... and picks for herself a swimsuit that looks just like her school swimsuit. The end of the episode shows that she's been convinced to wear a different swimsuit instead.
* A hot spring is discovered in the first OAV of ''[[Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?]]'' When the women decide that they aren't about to practice mixed nude bathing, the god Hermes reveals that [[Rule of Funny|he planned for such an eventuality]] and gives a swimsuit to each woman present. The one he gives to Asti, his Familia leader and favorite [[Butt Monkey]], resembles a school swimsuit so closely that she wonders why she's embarrassed to be wearing it despite never having seen the style before.

** Winn is almost certainly the best example of this trope (at least as far as Touhou + school swimsuits goes), considering that he (?) even manages to work in action scenes and the occasional [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] (although YMMV).
