The Japanese Fashion Starter Pack: What You REALLY Need to Know

[@Exhibit_xai]

Perfect Timing! I was just thinking of changing up my style

[@yvngHans]

Love that black denim jacket you're sporting

[@darkpurplegoldroses]

Gracias Reggie!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🔥excellent work as always!

[@derrickmartin9717]

My hometown of DC started the New Balance thing in the 80's. I've been wearing them since the early 90's and have never been without a pair in my closet since.

[@azabujuban-hito-dake]

Hahaa..it's so true with tailoring. I live in Tokyo and there are 3 tailors in my neighbourhood. One is specializing in suits. I made 2 suits there (I'm a woman btw) and their works are incredible ..beautiful AND very comfortable at the same time. 5 months ago I made a slightly oversize cream cashmere long coat and it's just gorgeous. People thought that it's from Max Mara or Loro Piana!

[@MichaelAngeloSumang]

You explained it well.TY

[@jessicagomes4043]

I am a girl and I do dress like that a bit, I have one or two pair of tuck pants, love them!

[@keezytv7854]

great video!

[@jacquesmoussafir7160]

in need of some brands that deliver to western countries, specifically the UK! Great vid

[@sakumziqumana2918]

"Right on ✊🏽" 😂😂

[@diskordman]

Digging your glasses! What are they?

[@nolasensation25]

Nice content. I can't wait to show you how much I've built up my brand. Huge leaps, different direction.

[@itsthatsoftwhite]

Thanks for another banger!

[@playingindies6730]

I should go to Japan to shop, their body shape is way closer to mine than Dutch are. In the Netherlands I always have to search for the right fits because everything is aimed towards taller people.

[@danieltang7981]

Excellent video

[@glennriley3193]

Perfect! No notes!

[@tata021]

Most informative video out there without the fluff and redundancy 😅

[@reshnel9540]

Just the video I was waiting for. Any plan on longer form videos on topics like this ?

[@THECASUALco]

absolutely

[@n2l321]

Living in Japan, this is so on point Though, with the younger people the new balance and the no break pants have a dated vibe to them. Kind of like how gen z view millennial fashion in the west. With the more fashionable people going for full breaks and not being afraid for the pants to fully reach the floor.

[@THECASUALco]

Younger gen has certainly embraced full break but I wouldn't necessarily call them more fashionable, just more modern I guess? Those in the modeling and within the industry certainly have a multitude of different viewpoints, but it still remains that tailoring amongst all groups is major. "Things just fit well" is probably a better description of the tenor of Japanese style.

[@marcop.525]

Probably the next generation will do the inverse. Its a rebellious generational war cycle 😅

[@QuanNguyen-uc2sn]

2:00 Aren't no-break pants just cropped pants, which are also Japan's staple

[@THECASUALco]

A crop is usually a little bit larger than a no-break. However we would colloquially call them the same thing in most cases.

[@UnimportantAcc]

4:35 sheesh look at that jacket 🥵🥵

[@whydoyouwantmynamegoogle396]

cannot be overstated*

[@THECASUALco]

Spoke too soon.

[@thepassionofthegoose5472]

I'm thinking intention is a theme.

[@THECASUALco]

Yup. It very much is. Most of Japanese style is a lesson in “I mean to do everything that you’re seeing right now. EVERYTHING.”

[@OnixMint]

hahaha the Im black and I am proud shirt is kinda like how American people get Tattoos in Japanese writing because it looks cool but dont know what it says

[@BaptainGinyu]

I’d love to know some good Japanese ring brands. When I try to google it I only get Japanese wedding rings

[@susanma4899]

The rings he showed in this video are mostly from the US--American southwest. We're lucky--turquoise and silver rings are insanely expensive in Japan, but you can def get good ones on etsy or ebay for a good price (or at flea markets). For example, a $50 turquoise ring would be at least $300 or more in Japan. The boho rings sold in Japan are mostly imported from India or Thailand, and you can find those in the US too. (I am assuming you're an American, sorry if I am wrong.)

[@THECASUALco]

Second this. If you live in the US buy from Natives and artisans in the US. It’s a shame because the biggest bulk buyers of American handcrafted silver jewelry are actually Japanese. You don’t need Japan, you already have a ton of options.

[@Sarah-h3f]

Tom Wood has also been trending in recent years, though not amekaji/southwest look

[@jomni]

Rule of thirds don't generally apply. Except for certain genres. Speaking of genres, as mentioned in the ending of the video, focus is key. People there stick to a certain aesthetic which is hard for some of us to do. I feel quite challenged here as I am into different styles depending on the occasion and mood (avant garde, americana, city boy, punk rocker, corporate). So my personal branding is muddled.

[@THECASUALco]

Find a way to combine them in interesting ways. That’s really the heart of Japanese style tbh. Taking ideas and interests and somehow mashing them together with precision and intention. Or at the very least creating some form of interchange between the different styles.
