I dunno what will I post here in my blog… hehe “sori na gud” but I have to post something in order to update my blog for my constituents…”aw!”
Well… I dunno If I consider myself as an expert in fashion about this post and somehow, I just want to help those people who are a bit confused on what are the essential things about the Eastern fashion or simply what we called “Jap style”.
Jap style or Japanese invasion style is originated “of course” in Japan where standout pieces like silver studs, overly patterned ruffled blouses or skirts, super high-cut boots and exaggeratedly tattered jeans are used and wear casually by the yellow skinned people. I would say that it is really normal for them to use these kinds of clothes for strolling, working on the day time shift and even schooldays! And I probably say that it is one of the unique modes of fashion compared in western style.
I know that my fellow staffers in the publication are having a huge problem on what are they going to wear in the upcoming IPR (inter personal relationship) activity because the theme of this IPR is “Korean Pop Star”. Somehow, this kind of theme is really related to Jap style. So I guess I could give some tips on what to wear and what are the dos and don’ts wearing this kind of technique.
A Modern Vintage
Japanese style is a modern way of wearing vintage clothes. To achieve this kind of style, “ukay ukay” is the best solution for that.
Vintage shirts with statement print outs in the front shirt matched with straight cut denim (and not the loose one) and a closed pointed loud colored high heel is a simple way to make. You can also use some scarves hanged in the shirt, jackets or sweatshirts that have loud and unique details and cartoon prints to add drama in your outfit. If you are too confident enough, wear a vintage shirt paired with skinny jeans and high cut boots. You can also use furry accessories like fur headbands or studded frills for rocker Jap effect.
Ruffles Riffles and Tousles
Ruffles are excellent standout piece and can be worn in a low key or maintenance. Ruffled blouses and skirts are best ones to buy for versatility kind of style. A candy colored ruffled blouse matched with a mini-shorts and knee socks can be a “Jap” motif and a simple razorback tee worn under a cropped jacket paired with a ruffled short skirt and a noticeable high heel or shoe is a great one to do also.
Layer, Layer, Layer
I had an issue of seventeen magazine way back 6 years ago (it was my high school days), that talks about “Jap” invasion of style. One thing that the article says is the best way to achieve this look is to practice the art of “layering”. A loud colored racer back tee layered by a pastel colored spaghetti strap and a plain white tube is the most common “layering” way to do. You can also wear black tights under simple denim or khaki mini shorts, colored socks and a nice pair of sneakers or chucks for an edgy yet cute “Japan Japan Porma”.
F4 or BOF mode
For guys; neatness, simple yet sensual are the perfect adjectives to describe the Japanese inspired look. Most of the Asianovelas that we saw in the television and mainstreams today are Asian guys who wear tuxedos and suits and patterned scarves for fashionable yet masculine mode. For those guys who are a bit stylish, a statement shirt with arab scarf worn under a black suit paired with skinny or straight cut jeans and sneakers is quite fancy but an ideal way to look like F4 or BOF. The other thing that you should remember is the hairstyle. “Jap” looks always deal with their hairstyles and can be a standout accessory in this kind of fashion statement.
Superb “bangs”
I honestly agree that full, China cut, “Pichina” (named in 1980’s) bangs are ariginated in Asia. If you are able to watch “Memoirs of Geisha”, most of the Japanese women preferred to have bangs. I decided to change my hairstyle due to the upcoming IPR and I preferred to have a full bangs. So I went to Carlo Reyes salon (my own suki…) to dye my hair from copper blond to jet black and cut my bangs. I usually like the result coz it is done in a right way and I ought to be fashionable even if I am just wearing a simple white tee, a jeans and sneakers. My hair is the best accessory to achieve Japanese fashion.
Jap style is truly weird yet cute way to be inspired of. As we saw in the anime schemes, It is the most cutest way to achieve. In my own little way, I usually follow this kind of style coz it really gives me the signature receive compliments from others. I’m so loving it and that’s it!
