Pleated Skirt

You can find a pleated skirt in almost every anime and manga. Somehow, this style has become the most popular for school uniforms, especially the seifuku style you see in shows like Sailor Moon and Clannad. Not only do slice-of-life shows have them, but even fantasy anime sometimes have a pleated skirt or two. It is easy to spot these skirts because they have a lot of neat, folded creases and are usually worn with blazers, ribbons, or just a simple top. There are a lot of colors, but navy blue and gray are two that come up a lot.

Pleated skirts show up in a lot of different places when it comes to wallpapers. Scenes of cherry blossoms, school hallways, or just close-ups of the clothes. When artists move the skirt, they often make it look like it is fluttering in the wind or twirling in a dramatic pose. You can even find fan art that mixes them up with zettai ryouiki (the space between the skirt and the thigh-high socks) or other well-known anime tropes. A lot of people who like schoolgirl looks use this tag, but you can also find fantasy characters and even game avatars wearing pleated skirts.

In general, you can see it in anime, manga, some games, and even manhwa or manhua. Many fans like the clean lines or the nostalgic feel. A lot of people like it for their desktop or phone wallpaper, too. It is pretty flexible, to be honest. This tag has a lot of different styles, so if you like the classic anime look or just how pleated skirts look, you will find something you like.
