Various kinds of periodical phenomena are observed in the natural world and in the social systems. Even in apparel fashion trends, people feel some periodical changes exist. This paper presented a trial to qualitatively characterize such a periodicity which appeared in apparel fashion trends. For this purpose, numerical data for the length of ladies jackets and skirts proposed in a popular fashion magazine published in Japan from 1960 to 1998 were used. Data were treated with some mathematical techniques including Fourier transformation analysis, self-correlation analysis and common statistical methods. Results obtained are as follows; 1) Comparing the distribution of length for clothes proposed in a given year with the length of the clothing selected by a person as being representative of the year, it was clarified that the length of the representative clothing selected by the person coincided with the mode value for the distribution. 2) Three major changes in the length of jackets and skirts were found over the years, the first change after a periodic time of 10 years, the second after 20 years and the third after 40 years. The change which occurred after 10 years periodicity was the most profound one. 3)The 10-year periodicity may be correlated with the period of use of apparel, while 20-year periodicity may be connected to the length of time which takes for women to develop a mature fashion sense. The 40-year periodicity remains unclear, but it covers two generations and, therefore, is long enough for the revival of an old fashion as a new fashion.

Through the questionnaire survey reported in Part 1, followings have become clear about boys' uniforms.1. School uniforms of close buttoned jacket type are very popular for boys, and blazer or business suit type come second.2. Most of the close buttoned jackets are black, and blazers or business suits are dark blue.3. The proportion of blazers or business suits to close buttoned jackets has increased with the years.4. Various wool/polyester blended fabrics are used for boys' uniforms more than for girls' uniforms, especially in summer.5. Regulations of private and national boys' schools are less rigid than those of private and national girls' schools.For 83 % of the schools which prescribe their uniforms, teachers affirm the prescription of uniforms. For 30 % of the schools which have no uniform, teachers feel the necessity of uniforms. These suggest that most teachers expect some educational effects of school uniforms.
