Japanese Fashion

Japanese fashion is fashion and clothing from Japan. Japanese fashion is a wide category which includes the fashion styles of all of the people of Japan, but outside of Japan there are certain styles which many people think of when they see the term "Japanese Fashion".

I'm doing a big project on fashion around the world and while I was searching for polish street style pics I thought that polish fashion looks like japanese fashion nowadays! Should I write that they're similar?? I want your opinions!

I guess my room back in Japan has a Japanese fashion sense. I dont know is you just need clothes though The clothes I wear in those pictures are not pure Japanese fashion any more since I've been here for two years.

Besides youth fashion, there are many other styles of dress that are unique to Japan, including the famous Japanese school uniforms, office lady (OL) fashion, salary man style, traditional outfits like the kimono and yukata, and others.

Lolita fashion tends to imitate Victorian-style girl's clothing and often aims to imitate the look of Victorian porcelain dolls. Skirts are knee length and may have a crinoline or petticoat to add volume. As in mainstream Japanese fashion, over-knee socks or stockings are extremely popular.

An oversized drapey jersey dress - it has amazing seaming and was cut beautifully - about 12 years ago. A key signature of Japanese fashion is longline jersey dressing - which happens to be very on trend now.

I believe these differences in fashion are a direct correlation between our two country?s differing senses of the individual. Generally speaking, the United States is an individual-oriented society, while Japan is a group-oriented society. apanese people try to act in cohesive units and strive to express the same opinion as others.

Modern Japanese fashion generally has several categories in addition to some that are not related to clothes. The Japanese fashion known as the Kogal is translated in Japan to people who enjoy displaying their higher income by wearing expensive jewelry or clothes.

In japan most fashion is dictated by a few magazines for the masses usually real 'fashionable' people (fashion students or designers) look very different from your average person.

This preference for American is different from the general fashion tastes by Japanese for European brands. Earl Jean, the US brand gets over 50% of its sales in Japan, and far more the percentage than Diesel or other hot European brands get in the States.
