The fashion landscape of Japan is undoubtedly amongst the most exciting in the world. It brings together a host of distinct subcultures while there are also some amazing avant-garde options for style-conscious divas. And you won’t be surprised to know that Tokyo Fashion Week happens to be one of the biggest fashion events of the years. Women from all walks of life are keen to embrace the popular trends that this country is so well known for and celebrities are no exception. Truly, Japanese fashion offers huge scope when it comes to elevating your sartorial choices because there are myriad styles and options you can explore. Here are some cool trends that you can look up to for taking your wardrobe a notch higher the season.
Kogal is cool
A trend that is making it big in Japan right now is Kogal, which is all about schoolgirl fashion for grown-up women. The staples in this clothing style include Burberry scarves, miniskirts and loose socks. Just team them with a pair of ankle-length platform boots and a cute sling bag and you are good to go. Opt for a retro pattern with bright fabrics (on the top or skirt) and you will get all the attention you want. Complete the schoolgirl ensemble with dyed hair and you will surely look like a trendy diva.
Get super-cute with Kawaii
Another Japanese trend that you can follow this season (yet again!!) is the super-cute Kawaii trend. This is a global fashion sensation, which means that you should go the extra mile to have the latest Kawaii Clothes for your collection. These are amazing outfits that blend cuteness and elegance, making them a rare combination you wouldn’t want to miss out on. Accessorize with retro glossy shoes and you will make heads turn with this winning attire.
Mix and match with layers
If you are an ardent follower of Japanese fashion, you will probably notice how much it focuses on layering. The trend obviously makes sense for the crazy weather of the country- the summers are scorching hot, winters are snowy and there’s a lot of rain as well. Layering comes ahead as a smart choice for the woman who wants to use mix and match to her advantage while countering the tough weather. Compared to conventional layering, Japanese layering is different because of the use of contrasting colors and mismatched fabrics. Don’t be surprised if you see a lady wearing a silver jacket layered with a black faux fur coat.
Experiment with clashing colors
Clashing is no longer a sartorial sin; rather it is an art that you can master by experimenting over time. Clashing fabrics has emerged as one of the hottest trends in Tokyo streetwear in recent years. And it’s not just the texture you can experiment with, try playing with colors and prints so that you get attention for all the good reasons. At the same time, make sure that the clashing choices you make are not too loud.
The Japanese are renowned for their innovative streak and fashion is one area where they definitely have it. So this is the right place to seek inspiration if you are bored with your fashion wardrobe and choices.
