The [[school uniform]] with a [[sailor collar|sailor-style collar]] worn by Japanese schoolgirls in middle school and high school. The standard uniform consists of a white [[blouse]], a [[pleated skirt]], and a red [[neckerchief]], but there are as many variations as there are stars in the sky. 
 
 Serafukus are commonly worn with a [[ribbon]] or [[bow]] in lieu of the traditional neckerchief. The line between "neckerchief" and "bow" is blurry, as the bows worn with serafukus often aren't actually dedicated bows or [[bowtie|bowties]], but rather a neckerchief tied into a bow instead of its intended scarf-like shape.
 
A serafuku always includes a skirt. If a sailor-style top is paired with shorts or another bottom, [[sailor shirt]] should be used instead. In fact, sailor suits with shorts are the older, original style: in the Victorian and Edwardian eras, they were used as boys' suits, from which then the girls' uniform with a skirt was derived.

For colored serafuku tags, both the [[shirt]] and [[skirt]] must match in color to apply, but not the neckwear or [[sailor collar]].
