Drawings of Boys in School Uniforms with Stand-up Collars - An Iconic Look

The gakuran uniform (学ラン, translated as “male school uniform with stand-up collar” on pixiv) is a common Japanese school uniform type that features a stand-up collar. The origins are strongly based in military attire adopted during the Meiji Period. It’s strongly associated with youth. Individual style preferences can be adopted in how the wearer buttons the jacket. A stricter look involves buttoning it to the top; a rougher look may leave the jacket completely open.
