Key Points
1夏服 means a summer uniform here.
- The word can refer to summer clothing in general. In this school scene, it refers to the summer version of the school uniform.
2夏服も adds the summer uniform to the compliment.
- センパイは sets Urushi as the topic. も follows 夏服, so Ayumu means that her summer uniform suits her too, with her winter uniform as the implied comparison.
- 似合う means to suit someone or look good on them. The basic pattern is 人に服が似合う. Here, the person is the topic and も replaces が after the clothing.
3似合いますね makes the compliment polite and friendly.
- 似合います is the polite form of 似合う. The ending ね invites a shared reaction to how she looks.
