In Japan, the term for global fashion is “Yamaha,” which is short for “Furano.” Therefore, worldwide fashion trends in Japan are usually the same as those throughout the U.S., although there are a few slight variations in style from year to year. Since many of the styles are imported from other countries, you will notice that the Japanese sometimes dress in styles that would not be acceptable in the United States, such as skirts shorter than what would be allowed in the workplace. For example, it is traditional for many Japanese women to wear kimono, or kimono dresses. However, they do not wear them to work, but only to socialize at home or in casual events.
When it comes to clothing, the trends are similar to those found in other countries. This means that you will find both men’s and women’s clothing available in department stores throughout Japan. The one different thing about men’s clothing in Japan is that they usually have a coat or a blazer that comes down to just below the elbow, rather than an English coat that goes all the way up to the neckline. Women, on the other hand, tend to choose skirts of varying lengths rather than shorter cuts, as they are considered more formal in Japanese culture. On average, they choose skirts ranging between one and three inches in length, with pants being another choice rather than full-length pants.
While many of the specifics may be different depending on where you shop, the basic idea of fashion in Japan is still the same. Most clothing is either brightly colored or patterned, and most of it has some type of patriotic or cultural meaning to it. For this reason, when you shop the various types of clothing, it can be quite fun to look at all the different colors, patterns, and symbols that are included in these products, as you can tell them apart from one another based on their designs. If you want to keep up with the latest trends on the world of fashion, it might even be a good idea for you to get a few of these clothing items as part of your daily wardrobe so that you know how different styles and colors to fit into your overall fashion style.
