Trend: Fashion in Japan

I've been to numerous places in the world such as Guam, California, Philippines, Australia, and Bali, but I haven't been to Japan until this week. My sister is currently a senior, so our family went on a trip to Japan, which was actually a senior trip for my sister. We went to Tokyo and had lots of fun, but one thing popped into my head while walking in the streets of Tokyo: fashion in Tokyo. I've also been curious about how Tokyo would be; the people, the shops, the weather, but mostly importantly fashion.

Before arriving in Tokyo, my mom, my sister, and I spent some time in the airport. While observing other people there, I noticed that I was only looking at their clothes! I couldn't resist myself from peeking at others' clothes and the only thing in my head was 'fashion'.



While walking in the street of Tokyo, I noticed a specific fashion item: boots. Especially Japan women seemed to enjoy wearing boots with short pants and stockings. I was amazed at how young and old women all wore boots in subways, in the streets, in the taxis, in the buses, everywhere!

Other than boots, I also noticed how lots of fashion involved laces and flowers. Lots of people wore feminine clothes with laces and pink flowers. I usually don't wear lacy clothes, but I'm planning to wear some soon!

Even MEN. It was amazing how some men in the streets wore flower printed clothes even unlike how men in Korea usually wear black, gray clothes. My mom, my sister and I were both surprised at the scene, but we saw many more men with flowers and laces on their clothes.

You can be a fashionista by knowing the fashion trend in Japan!
