Japan’s fashion is next level. Most countries don’t have people wearing high fashion just walking around. Another very special thing about Japanese fashion is it’s so flexible, they aren’t afraid to be themselves and be outrageous. I love that about Japan, even if the culture seems mostly uniform.

[@succmywood]

This bruddas are rich ngl , i wear the same shit everday

[@arandomperson1621]

@@succmywood no shame in that, I do too

[@chiragmathias771]

I think because of the culture being as uniform as it is, we see these really awesome fits you wouldn't find in other places.

[@anaistres3359]

I agree, but I do have to point out that cities like London, New York, and Paris all have that one area where people walk around with fits that stand out and they can go all out. It isn't just Japan for sure, but maybe Japan is safer for it.

[@KingR098]

This isn't indicative of normal everyday style at all lol. Fashion is a bit more formal on average but you'll see a loooooot of the same colors and cuts and makeup, more than most other places I've been.

I love this series but WHAT?! You interview the actor Ansel Elgort on the streets of Tokyo. That's awesome. He has definitely been influenced by the Japanese fashion culture of dressing how you best want to express yourself.

[@LindaMitchell]

I loved everyone's fashion in the video because their outfits beautifully expressed them. However, Jeanist is on another level. Someone needs to swoop him up and invest in his fashion ideas. His outfit was the most creative wearable fashion that I've seen.

[@lotanowo]

I'm sorry, but wearing literal pants for sleeves is not what I'd considered "wearable fashion" as it's entirely not practical. But a cool concept.

[@zmbiegrrl]

@@lotanowo fashion isn’t really about being practical I mean high heels aren’t practical at all but are greatly normalised. Jeanist has an amazing sense of style and fashion that’s never been seen before and I think it’s fantastic.

[@ojigbo]

@@lotanowo Wearing pants for sleeves is a literal fashion staple. You've seen him wear it in the video, it looked amazing. Fashion isn't known to be particularly practical.

[@samaraisnt]

@@zmbiegrrl She said "wearable" though. I agree it looks high fashion...which is not made for streetwear.

[@zmbiegrrl]

@@samaraisnt jeanist is is literally wearing them and walking around and he’s fine, it’s wearable. That’s what wearable is, being able to physically wear it.

i love japanese fashion particularly because it’s so expressive and creative but still unique. I believe it was the first lady who was able to integrate the kimono and western style in such a collaborative way that worked really well . I think it’s amazing to have elements of who you are present in your outfits

[@roire]

The thing I love most is how happy everyone is about expressing themselves, it’s like fashion has set them free, you can tell by the smiles on their faces and the genuine excitement in their voice

[@karenv525]

I liked the first girl in modern kimono style especially love the red coil belt she used as a necklace and the last guy in monochrome, both very cool styling.

[@luminous4425]

Bro is that ansel elgort, shocked to see him living in japan and speakinng fluent japanese!! That blew my mind lol

[@anjeetamalla6923]

In love with Japanese and their sense of style and carrying out themselves without the fear and, tbh I feel Japanese people are very polite and subtle about how their manner and etiquette can affect others but when it comes to fashion , they seem to be quite bold and not so scared and via their attire , they are screaming this is me ❤️.

[@novivianngo]

I love how he didn’t give Ansel any special introduction, it just feels like some other dude he bumped into on the street. I was just like wait a min… is that ansel as in ANSEL ELGORT?! lmao

[@SL-rb4zo]

Last time I was in Tokyo (2019), I couldn't find anyone wearing interesting outfits. I went everywhere, including Harajuku, where you would think there'd be lots of fashion, but all I saw was... everyone wearing oversized t-shirts and jeans. So I love these series. Keep them up!

[@calipo5110]

maybe you have no taste, so don't know when a good outfit comes by

[@user-uh2xf6yq6l]

Yeah. How long does he wait on the street to find this many. I did see some Lolita girls on a weekend. Once.

People usually dress up during the weekends, so if you were looking around the weekdays might be factor to why you don't see many people dressed up.

I am loving this series and the diversity of styles you manage to come across. The first one with the kimono style was my favorite. She has such an adorable personality and the look was just awesome. I've been starting to thrift more, but after watching a couple of these, I find myself pulling some combinations more like when I was younger and just plain fun or whatever I was in the mood for. Keep it up and congrats for your tatami line. Will definitely check it out.

[@guccisenpai7762]

It feels like some fashion show but a street fashion show😂😂

[@AMPCM]

In the area around Shinjuku and Shibuya on the western side of the Yamanote Line, there is a culture known as "dressing slightly differently," where people tend to dislike wearing the same clothes as others. In central Tokyo, there is a relatively open and diverse culture when it comes to fashion. Some individuals actively embrace unique styles and their own fashion identity, which may lead to a tendency to dress slightly differently compared to other regions. The central areas have numerous fashion hubs and shopping districts where trends converge, attracting young and fashion-forward individuals. This fosters an environment where experimenting with new trends and styles is actively pursued. Consequently, it can be said that unique fashion is more readily accepted than in other areas. The fashion culture in central Tokyo is diverse, drawing influences from street fashion, art, music, subcultures, and more. People of various generations enjoy expressing their own fashion sense. However, it is important to note that Japan, including central Tokyo, is generally considered a relatively conservative society in terms of attire. As a result, wearing overly flashy or revealing styles may attract attention and be seen as an exception to the norm. Therefore, considering social norms and the atmosphere of the surroundings is essential even when aiming to dress slightly differently. Nonetheless, the fashion culture in central Tokyo is ever-changing and evolving, allowing ample opportunities for individuals to enjoy their unique styles. I hope you can embrace your own fashion preferences while striking a balance with the environment around you and enjoy the world of fashion.

[@Jumpoable]

Why don't you do it this Saturday?

[@weedlechu]

@@Jumpoable I have dysphoria to the point where all I wear is hoodies since it’s what I feel most comfortable in. Getting dressed to go somewhere nice takes way longer than it should since one minute I convince myself it’s possible to wear an outfit, and the next minute I have to take it off and try something else. Someday, I’ll be able to get help that can allow me to live freely and then I’ll be able to express myself more through my clothes! Or at least that’s the way I see it anyway. For now I just wear things I like that I can still enjoy even with horrible dysphoria. I appreciate the idea though, I wish I could just up and decide one day to wear what I want but for now I really can’t :,)

​@@weedlechu e se você tentasse fazer um outfit apenas com moletoms porém com mais alguns acessorios que goste? Ou realmente só consegue usar moletom? ( ⚈̥̥̥̥̥́⌢⚈̥̥̥̥̥̀)

[@weedlechu]

@@b0linhosvoadors Sorry I translated your message so I may not be able to respond the best. I usually try and accessorize with my shoes and pants! Recently though I bought a binder which has helped me to feel comfortable wearing sweaters and jackets so I’ve been able to dress a little more freely. I appreciate your comment though! So the answer is yeah I can definitely accessorize the hoodies to make them less boring :)
