Wrong, it’s not just high school girls in Japan who don’t wear stockings, but women in the entire society don’t wear stockings very often. I have been working in Japan for almost four years. Except for stewardesses and hotel lobbies who wear professional stockings, I have almost never seen anyone wearing stockings.
Later, I became acquainted with Japanese colleagues. They told me that the main reasons are as follows:
The Japanese stockings originally introduced from the United States were of the fishnet type, generally It's worn by strippers, so Japanese society is a bit resistant to it. In addition to the Japanese AV industry, you know, stockings are a hint of something.
Young Japanese girls usually wear knee-high socks, and they are messy, with various colors and styles. In short, they dress themselves up. Very young. Stockings are generally worn by older married women.
This reason was not told to me by my Japanese colleagues, but summed up by myself. Japanese calves are really ugly, short and curved. If girls wear stockings, wouldn't it be more obvious, so they choose thick knee-high socks! ! Think about it, stockings are very common among Chinese and Korean girls. On the one hand, they are sexy, but on the other hand, aren’t they also a reflection of their confidence in their leg shape? Are they willing to show it off?
