What all were “in” During the Autumn in Japan

People in southern hemisphere have started to feel chilly but it’s spring in Japan. The colourful season of spring brings joy and cherry in Japan. Although Japan has moved from the autumn season long ago but if you like to keep track on what all made fashion statement during the months of October and November in Japan, here are few autumn fashion trends amongst Japanese people.

Around the autumn season, garments and accessories stores on Japanese streets stock eye-catching and highly fashionable merchandises.

Tailored jackets along with trousers and blocked hats

Tailored jackets along with trousers and blocked hats are commonly considered by men but in the previous autumn, such stuffs were quite common to see on the Japanese women. The granddad style shoes and cardigans supplemented the style very well. This trend is vastly influenced by British fabrication.

Awesome collections at The Stunning Lure

The Stunning Lure’s collections made several people go crazy over it. Most Japanese people swear by this brand’s name and image. The edgy and individual collections are quite wearable and made it in vogue last autumn. If sporty collections attract you, it’s Stunning Lure’s collection for you.

Topshop offers stylish biker’s jackets
The Topshop had to offer several design of stylish biker’s jackets. Although they can cost you a huge amount of money but worth wearing if you love to ride bikes during the autumn season. Jackets with washed version look were hit amongst the high-speed bikers in Japan. To supplement the look, black boots were quite in fashion.

Mixed pattern was a huge hit in autumn season

And, who said that mixed patterns are no more in vogue? If you take a look at the autumn wardrobe, Japanese beauties will prove you wrong. The dark and cold was almost out of fashion, as most Japanese donned patterned clothes during the autumn season. Many people reasoned that it lifts their mood.

Fur was “in”

If you are into fur, PETA people might have an objection on your fashion sense but Japanese people seemed to be oblivion during autumn season. Clothes in natural dye colours look beautiful but outwears made up of bright fur were also quite in demand.

Simplistic and minimalist look with gold as “add on”

In comparison to the men’s wear, last autumn season was dominated with different designs in the women’s wear segments. Simplistic and minimalist fashion was the highlight of autumn fashion wears in Japan. Black and white seemed to fit perfectly on the chicks and the gold accessories added sophisticated looks.

Long warps were favourite in accessories section

Long warps added a twist to the autumn wardrobe, with many people mixing their clothes with scarf, bags or long cardigan, it seemed that fashion has come of age in Japan.

So, these collections featured frequently on top in Japanese fashion trends for autumn season. If you are on the tour to Japan anytime during the autumn season, you will not have any sort of difficulty in buying trendy clothes. Take a hint from previous year’s collection and get noticed in the months of autumn.

A Look at Evolving Fashion Trends in Japan

On my last visit to Japan, when I went to photograph some street fashion, I saw that the streets were already filling up with various new fashion trends that were fresh in the year 2013. Whoever still thinks that Japanese fashion is only about kimonos is highly mistaken. Japanese fashion trends are influenced by the ‘west’ but very well moulded to fit the Japanese climate. Some fashion trends are extremely funky while others are a little outlandish.

W all know Japan to be the epitome of culture and heritage but in recent times, Japan has picked up pace and is now moving toe to toe with rest of the fashion world, if not ahead. Japan is a mixture of the old and the new; it is a country where antiquity meets modernity. However, Japanese people are extremely fashion conscious and are always dressed for the occasion.

As summer has almost set in, I saw many women wearing beautiful floral prints. Therefore, this season, if you take a look at the streets of any metropolis in Japan you will find women sporting a lot of floral prints. It could be dresses, shirts or blouses but fancy floral prints are definitely the talk of the town. These summery prints are highly in demand.

Japanese fashion trends change every season much like fashion trends in any other country. The Japanese follow trends prevalent in all the fashion capitals of the world. So, don’t be stunned to see the trends of New York, Paris and Milan being sported by the people of Japan. If we talk about fashion trends, we can’t really leave out hairstyles, now can we? I saw a lot of women especially teenagers and girls in their early twenties, sport pretty hairstyles with wonderful accessories. I even saw some with simple plaits but gorgeous accessories. Some even sported OTT (Over the Top) accessories and yet carried them off beautifully.

Another very interesting and eye-catching theme I saw parading the streets of Japan was the cat-woman theme. Everything from headgear to footwear has a very cute cat style look. I saw girls sport caps with cat ears on them, skirts with ‘whiskers’ printed, et al. This trend is definitely growing in Japan and might be a huge hit this season.
