JAPAN

In Japan, girls like to mix sporty or tomboy-esque pieces with feminine ones: it’s common to find girls dressed in flowing skirts and heavy Dr Martens or sports trainers. Female fashion is also big on towering heels, and they love their back packs! Boys tend to dress quite smart, with fitted shirts and slim trousers. The more fashion conscious males really do go all out though, with accessories such as hats, suspenders and colourful tie scarfs. Both men and women love detailing and accessories – lots of hats and jewllery – and are big fans of layering clothes for a cool everyday look. You also see traditional Kimonos about, a popular dress when going to the Temple.
