Cheer on Your Teammates! Recommended Outfits for the Sports Festival Cheer Squad (11–20)

tutu skirt

The tutu skirt, a costume used in ballet, is characterized by soft, delicate hues that seem to let light pass through.

As an indispensable part of ballet, it strongly evokes images of dance and sport, making it perfect for a school sports festival setting as well.

Incorporating uniformly colored tutu skirts as accessories for the team not only highlights cuteness but also showcases unity.

The layered-sheer design is easy to make, and it could be fun to experiment with how different color overlaps change the overall impression.

Precisely because it’s the uniform everyone at school normally wears, it’s perfect for expressing a sense of unity.

By doing movements you wouldn’t usually do while wearing a familiar uniform, you can showcase a new kind of appeal.

It’s fun to present yourselves while wearing the uniform properly, but customizing it also lets you express individuality.

Normally you might get scolded for wearing it loosely, but let’s ask for some leniency since it’s a special event.

You can use your usual uniform, and it could be interesting to take inspiration from other schools’ uniforms as well.

undershirt

A han-gi (half-length kimono) is a kimono with a shorter length, typically reaching just below the knees, and it’s often worn with hakama.

It’s great for traditional styling paired with hakama, but it’s also recommended to wear it open like a haori jacket.

Even though it’s short for a kimono, its knee-length cut gives it plenty of dynamic movement when worn as an overgarment.

The fabrics and designs that evoke a Japanese aesthetic convey a sense of energy, and when many members of a cheering squad wear the same color, it creates a stronger feeling of unity and vigor.

Kyudo-style clothing

How about showcasing a cool, powerful vibe with an outfit inspired by the traditional sport of kyudo (Japanese archery)? A key element of kyudo attire is the hakama.

Its flared, downward-widening design conveys a sense of dynamism.

The short sleeves on the upper garment—so as not to hinder drawing the bow—are another notable feature.

The simple black-and-white color scheme gives a unified, strong impression, and it also makes handheld cheering goods stand out vividly, which is a practical advantage.

Korean idol style

Let’s highlight cuteness with costumes inspired by K-pop idols, who are hugely popular in Japan.

Designs that show off the legs so the dance looks dynamic—and other style-conscious choices—create a sleek, confident image.

Since each group has its own concept and their outfits vary widely, deciding which group to take inspiration from is an important point.

If you also pay attention to makeup and movement to match the costume, you can get even closer to the group’s vibe.

tasuki (a traditional Japanese sash used to tie back sleeves)

We sometimes use a tasuki (a sash) to keep sleeves from slipping and looking sloppy.

Because of its distinctive way of wrapping and the way it tightens not only the clothing but also the body, it’s often seen in cheer squads’ outfits, making it a staple for livening up sports festivals.

Rather than just a decoration, it gives the impression of emphasizing the team’s unity and energy.

To make sure the team stands out, it’s important to use fabric in the team’s colors and have all members wrap it in the same way, clearly showcasing the team’s bonds.

If you’re going to cheer for the team, you want the cheering squad to be united too, right? So how about making custom-colored socks to create a cohesive look? Prepare plain white socks and some colored water made from paint.

Tie the socks with rubber bands, then pour the colored water over them to create patterns.

Give them a wash at the end and let them dry—and they’re done! You can use your team colors, or make the same pattern in different colors.

The patterns vary depending on how you tie them, so have fun experimenting as you make them.
