Whether you’ve seen it on TV or in movies, or have experienced marveling at Japanese fashion in Japan in person, there is no denying it: Japanese people know how to dress. What’s interesting, as well, is that Japanese fashion constantly changes, and this might differ depending on location or even on seasonal trends.
What are Some of the Most Popular Japanese Fashion Styles?
Traditionally, the Japanese are known to wear kimonos and yukatas. In the 90s, the ganguro fashion trend made it big where women took to wearing tanned skin makeup and brightly colored hair. In Tokyo, Japanese streetwear generally involves all sorts of creativity and trends. The Harajuku style, on the other hand, involves a mixture of all sorts of Japanese sub-styles, including gothic lolita, sweet lolita, cosplay, gyaru, punk rock, and cutesy fairy kei.
Either way, though, it is clear that fashion is very important to Japanese people. Without fear of judgment, Japanese people are able to express themselves and really showcase their individuality in a way that we are somehow unable to do here in the Philippines. It really isn’t any wonder why so many Filipinos are fascinated with Japanese fashion!
