The way men and women are expected to dress is just one of the many demands part of the highly rigid experience.
But as a few raise their voices against the system, things may be slowly changing.

Applicants are expected to wear what are known as 'recruit suits' that come in two varieties: a men's suit, worn with a white shirt and dark tie,
and a women's suit with a skirt, white blouse and a jacket that's cinched in at the waist.

Competition is intense, which has spurred the growth of an entire industry devoted to grooming students for success during the Shukatsu period.

Recruiters and clothing companies provide detailed guidelines that define things like the recruit suits students can wear,
the haircuts they can have and even how they should sit during an interview.
