With Autumn Passed, Hope for a Remarkable Summer Fashion Trends in Japan

Long locks of hair, tanned skin and the long nails are keen to make a statement on the global platform. If this kind of fashion sense appeals to you, well you are one of the Black Diamond women.

This fashion trend is very much there to see on the streets of Japan. This fashion trend has been dubbed as “gal” and is ready to fly in the face of conventional ideas of feminine beauty. The pale skin and black hair trend has its root in the Japan of 1990s. This was the time, when Japanese fashion trends started to evolve. Dying hair brown and going to tanning salons was a hit thing amongst the teen girls in Japan.

The rebel fashion trend can be very much seen in the fashion district of Harajaku and other areas.

With the onset of summer season, airy and floral patterned clothes are very much in demand. But, when it comes about the ongoing fashion trends, you will like to take note of the previous trend that made its presence felt in between the youths and teenage population of Japan.

 The autumn season in Japan is all about vibrant colours and furs. Last season was also very much patterned on the same fashion trends. Tailored jackets and trousers with blocked hats were something outrageously preferred by the Japanese women. The fashionable wears were supplemented with old men’s slipper like shoes and cardigans. British fabrication had a large influence on this fashion trend.

The Stunning Lure is one brand that most of the Japanese people are in love with. The edgy and individual collection available at the brand’s showroom is incredibly wearable. With a vast range of sportswear, Stunning Lure was one of the most popular brands in the previous autumn season.

The topshop had a great range of biker’s jacket. Irrespective of the high price range, these jackets were quite popular amongst the bikers. Most of them preferred to couple the jacket with black boots.

And, who says patterned clothes no more look classy and fashionable? If you look at the previous season’s Japanese fashion trends, you will realise that these are still in fashion. The key motive behind this fashion trend was to lift up the mood.

Fur items are always in demand in Japan. A large number of Japanese women had adorned fur clothes with lots of vigour and enthusiasm.

Last but not the least; accessories have always been very popular in Japan. Supplementing the dresses with designer and colourful accessories has always been a stylish thing in the Japan.

With so much of choices available in the last autumn season, hope for a remarkable summer fashion trends is very high amongst the Japanese fashionistas.

Latest Fashion Trends in Japan Are All About Chaste Designs and Vibrant Colours by Pretzel William

Japan Explicitly Welcoming the Stylishness of the West for Autumn-Winter collection

Last year’s autumn had witnessed how Japan had welcomed style statements that were chic and wonderful. The autumn winter collection had brought with it one-of-a-kind clothing inspired by the glitz of the west and the simplicity of the east. I had witnessed the eye-catching collection stocked by some of the major fashion stores across Tokyo. They were so tempting that I had effortlessly bagged quite a number of autumn outfits.

While wandering about these shops, I had noticed that a majority of fashion outlets were solely selling autumn winter collection. I was completely floored by the wide range of winter wear sold across Tokyo and other parts of Japan; previously I had noticed trousers and tailored jackets dominantly rule men’s winter wardrobe collection; but last year I was quite surprised to find the same jackets and trousers capture women’s attention. Additionally there were the elderly sporting simple cardigans and pairing their woolens with slipper type shoes.

Being a shopaholic I can’t resist myself from visiting shops; I was completely head over heels for the edgy and wonderful collection offered by Stunning Lure. Most of all the wardrobe collection included everything that looked wearable and beautiful to me. Again!! I could not hold back my temptations as my eye balls started exploring the vivid colours used for the trendy looking sportswear.

As I did a quick go through, I found the autumn collection bear resemblance with previous year’s UK fashion trends. Top shop was selling one of the finest rider jackets for winter; the cool full sleeved upper outfits outwardly spoke of stylishness; though after seeing the price tags I had to quit the idea of bagging a few of those winter wrap-ups. The problem arose when I was trying to find biker wears for a reasonable price. There weren’t any and I was quite heart-broken at it. 

While studying last year’s Japanese fashion trend during the winter months, I had chanced upon women wearing patterned clothes that were stylish. The solid colours added to beauty of the patterns. I even found some people sporting clashing patterns; wow!! They all looked incredibly smart in the contrasting designs. Clash patterns are nowadays making quite news in the fashion industry. Fur-wears were also amongst the top choices for japans’ Autumn Winter collection. While some were donning dyed fur, others kept it simple with natural tones. I personally feel that the natural tones add a little more stylishness to the furry attires. Last year’s Autumn-Winter wardrobe collection wooed me quite a lot and I am expecting that this year’s winter season will arrive with even more interesting fashion collections.

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.

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. To study more about fashion trends in Japan you can check out some magazines and blogs on the net. Summer fashion in Japan has loads to offer.
