Boost Team Spirit! Recommended Outfits for the Sports Festival

sailor uniform

Many people have probably felt that uniforms from other schools look cuter than their own.

Precisely because it’s an event like a sports festival, it might be fun to dress up in the uniform you admire as a kind of cosplay.

Wearing an off-the-shelf costume is fine, but it also sounds interesting to use a school’s uniform as a reference and modify yours to get closer to it.

You could simply highlight a sailor-style uniform, or use it as a base and decorate it with accessories to make it more glamorous—there seem to be many possible directions for the outfit.

penguin

If you’re going to perform a dance at the sports festival, how about wearing a penguin costume? Add a bow tie and channel a penguin character for a cute look! A set featuring a vest and pumpkin shorts in penguin-like blue would also be great.

If sewing with fabric feels like too much work, you can still get a penguin vibe by attaching a half-circle piece of white nonwoven fabric to a colored plastic bag.

You could also make a hat with a penguin face to boost the cuteness even more.

undershirt

A hankagi is a type of kimono with a short length, typically reaching just below the knees, and it is often worn with a hakama.

It works well in a traditional ensemble paired with a hakama, but wearing it open as a haori-style outer layer is also recommended.

Even though it’s short for a kimono, its knee-length cut gives it a strong sense of motion when worn as an outer garment.

The fabrics and designs that evoke a Japanese aesthetic convey energy, and when many people wear the same color, it further emphasizes unity and dynamism.

Clothes that use suspenders

Suspenders are belts used to hold up trousers and are worn in a variety of settings, from formalwear to workwear.

Depending on how you combine them with your outfit, you can also create a look reminiscent of traditional folk costumes.

Some traditional garments, such as those from Germany, incorporate suspenders, so using them as a reference can help evoke an exotic, foreign atmosphere.

Because they convey a global vibe, suspenders are recommended for costumes used in cheer rallies or folk dances.

Pay attention to accessories and color variations as well, and enjoy crafting a look with an international flair.

Minion

The Minions, the adorable characters with big eyes who appear in the 2015 American comedy film “Minions,” are often seen as costumes for events like Halloween.

Their signature yellow color is sure to stand out at a school sports festival compared to other outfits.

Plus, yellow has the effect of giving a bright, cheerful impression.

If everyone wears Minion costumes on the day of the sports festival, it’ll naturally lift everyone’s spirits and help you enjoy the day with a positive mood!

Shinsengumi-style haori

This is the costume of the Shinsengumi, a group of samurai who carried out public security activities in Kyoto toward the end of the Edo period.

Their light indigo haori, dyed with a zigzag dandara pattern and boldly emblazoned with the character for “sincerity” (makoto), is especially famous.

As a samurai costume, it stirs a fighting spirit, and by wearing the attire of a group that left its mark on history, you can almost feel a peak sense of unity as a team.

Just standing by while wearing it gives a strong presence, doesn’t it? I think it’s perfect to wear as a symbol for pep rallies or to strengthen team cohesion.

sarouel pants

How to make sarouel pants! Easy! You can do it with only straight lines! Perfect for at-home yoga

Sarouel pants are trousers with a low crotch, characterized by a relaxed fit and a loose silhouette.

Their flared design conveys a laid-back vibe.

Because the crotch area hangs low, they work well for gentle, roomy movements, but there’s a risk of snagging during vigorous activity.

Rather than wearing them for competition, it might be better to use them as a costume during moments meant for showing off, such as cheer segments.
