This is the long awaited and much anticipated post about Japanese fashion style…well Tokyo style at least.

For the men, the are two main styles. First is business which is the most common. As most jobs here have a formal dress code, the trains and streets are filled with suits and ties. They have more of a Euro style sense out here so the suits are bit tighter than North America. It is seriously difficult for me to find dress clothes (or any clothes for that matter) here because I am not with that tight up style at all. The other style is of course casual. When it comes to casual dress. The dudes here seem to dress real simple with no-name tight jeans and tight t-shirts. There are a small percentage of guys that are rocking hiphop, skater, or punk rock styles. Note about hip hop style here: Most clothes are imported from the states and are EXPENSIVE as hell. Needless to say, I have done very little clothes shopping here. As for the funniest style I have seen would have to be the host style, which is some serious tight tight tight dress clothes with some pointy dress shoes. What makes it even more funny is the fact that they rock some serious Final Fantasy hairdos. I am still trying to get a group picture of them hanging out in Kabuki cho. Words alone cannot express this style.

Finally the ladies,…. all I can say is WOW! These girls know how to dress! Whether they are going to work or out to have a few drinks they are dressed up PROPER. Over here, ladies dress a lot more feminine then their North American counterparts without a doubt. I talked to some other foreigners from Europe and they all agree that North American women dress poorly and man-ish compared to the rest of the world. On a packed train, I can count the number of women rocking running shoes and jeans on one hand. If they are going to rock jeans, the jeans are tight as hell and they got some heels with them. Most are rocking skirts or shorts with stockings and heels or real dressy flat shoes. The style here is classy sassy and can get skanky depending on which part of town you are in. Also, when it comes to clothes, name brands are big as nobody is rocking no no-name or fake bullsh!t. The pic above is a good example of the regular style for this time of year. I wish I could shoot more pics to illustrate my point, but I don`t want to look like the pervert I am. Anyways, I am out…..PEACE.

UPDATES: I put some more pics in the gallery, enjoy.
