About
Clothes That Kill Virgins (Japanese: 童貞を殺す服; Doutei wo Korosu Fuku) refers to form-fitting women's apparel, typically including high-waisted skirts, that are believe to intensely arouse and fascinate male otakus. Since the term was coined on Twitter in July 2015, the concept has widely spread across the Japanese social media and illustrator communities Pixiv and Nico Nico Seiga.
Origin
According to the Pixiv Encyclopedia,[1] the term "Clothes That Kill Virgins" first appeared in a tweet by amateur illustrator Keyholder (キーホルダー) on July 5th, 2015. The phrase was used to explain a photo in the Japanese clothing label NO.S PROJECT, featuring girls wearing white blouses and long dark high-waisted skirts. Within 72 hours, the tweet gained over 10,000 retweets and favorites.

Translation:
After watching the clothes that kill virgins in several drinking parties, I think the best is something like blouses and skirts produced by NO.S PROJECT.
Spread
After the tweet began circulating on Twitter, many began debating the meaning of the phrase "clothes that kill virgins." In the coming days, several news sites reported on the online reaction to the tweet.[3][4] Uniforms used by the food chains Anna Miller's[5] Kobe-ya Kitchen[6], the costumes worn by various cosplayers and popular outfits seen in moe illustrations were cited as examples of the style (shown below).

Translation:
Now I'm feeling so blue. Spreading of the term "Clothes That Kill Virgins" must hurt girls who would like to wear that kind of clothes simply because of its "cuteness". They would stop wearing it as they don't want to be said like " Wow! You're wearing the clothes that kill virgins! Who the hell is your target? (lollol".
