the long/short work-sleve thing isnt so much to do with the weather; its about conformity and standards; even if its cold people will still wear the short sleve shirts if it isnt time to change to the long sleves yet. for ladies in smart-casual wear the sleve lenght are understandibly different but its cometimes best to conform till you know the norms :)

Honestly, when I move there, I'm still going to wear what I want. I'll probably still wear my american clothes. And, if I find something I like in japan, I'll wear that too. Down with society, telling me what to wear or not wear. What isn't fashion to you, doesn't mean it's not fashion to me :(

(further inspects what I'm wearing)
It's a fusion of hip hop/punk. Odd, I know >_>

As for making yourself stand out, yet still not be an outcast, I'd have to say,
"It's all in the accessories"
Necklaces, wristbands, earings, whatever.

Lol, it appears we have similar fashion sense, NekoNekoChan =P

I don't think punk/hiphop is weird, it's the coolest combination ever! XD

Agreed, everything depends on how you accessorize yourself in proper arrangement, not just flinging bling bling onto yourself O.o

Come as you are :)

No offense but God I hope that doesnt catch on. The bucket thing that is.

annelie82 03-19-2007 05:02 PM
Aldine: I think I will. ^^ :)

Pandayanyan: Lol, I wouldn't worry, I think the Japanese have better fashion judgement than that. ;) Welcome to JF! :ywave:

Annelie82 I'd like to be your Onnechan aswell (if thats ok with you- having a mad gothic sister).
Anyway I think what you should do is try to wear some Harajuku or Shibuya stuff seen as its quite popular. If I was you I'd be running through every shop for Harajuku stuff but I'm not you.

i think if your aware of the biggest holidays when you arrive there then you should be fine. not everyone celebrates all the holidays. but i guess it all depends on what part of japan you go to ^_^

Bape stores here are kinda lame.

Over priced, over hyped, and the quality isnt that great compared to other major brands.

The colors are just too much for my taste, but when i looked into buying clothing there. the quality of some of the shirts/hats/shoes were just crap.

and look forward to paying 300-1000 dollars for pants or shoes

and 100-500 for a hat

and 100-200 for a shirt with a monkey thats been ironed on =P

There are 2 Bape stores in Tokyo, and they are the REAL Bathing Ape stores, not knock offs.
