Japanese Street Fashion

(Japan(152)
Thu 2008/10/23 13:12
A look at some Japanese street fashion for men.
Ladies - any one of these gents dressed as your kinda guy?
Men - you fancy looking like which style?
You will probably need to go to Byonavi to see the larger version.

If I just had to choose, I'd choose number one as it looks the most comfotable to wear at home.

I agree with Danny. It looks comfortable and not too tight. I also like the lighter colors.
My second choice would be #10. The only thing I have against it is it's a bit...Final Fantasy-ish

Yeah, 4 is decent and 11 is not bad either. But in my opinion they all overdid it, trying to seem cool. Btw 9 looks as if he just ran out from a burning building or fire lol.

I kinda like the style from 4, 12 and 17 if I'm to choose right away. Haven't seen a lot of guys with this style past their twenties (in USA at least), I think it's more tied to teenagers.

I think out of all of them, I like to dress as #4, it suits me better. Although, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't look good in any of these without the proper hairstyle.

That's the cool thing about Japan, many different and unique fashion styles. But I agree, this is not one of the better ones. They come off as posers and generic.

The style isn;t bad. In terms of the guys, I like 4, 12, and 17 with their shades and fobby haircuts. Still, they all look kind of like standoff douchebags IMO (and some of them look like they haven't showered, ew.)

I lean towards 17 since it is pretty simple in design, which is how I dress in general, but I wouldn't mind 11 either.  #1 reminds me of some of my stoner friends, the ones that always try to invite me to marleyfest.

They all look like such poseurs. I could probably imagine my big bro wearing one of those, though. 
My "fashion" consists of a plain t-shirt (sometimes with a zip-up sweater) and blue jeans.

1, 9 look like bums, 2, 3 and 10 look like gangsters.
The rest all look like Metrosexual Emos in my eye. Of which, 16 and 17 look really, really, gay.
If I HAD to choose one I guess it would have to be 10.
I'm not trying to insult anyone or to flame, that would just be my impression of the person if I were to see/meet them.
I've lived in America more than half my life, (South California, LA) and that's just how I see it as a man.
I don't really know how other people see it, and how much it differs from where you live or if you're a woman.
As such, I would like comments on what you guys think of my opinion as well as your opinion on this matter.
I would also like to know: Is this style 'normal' in Japan for males?
Please advise. =P

As far as I know there's a few styles in Japan:

1. Rock
2. Mode-kei
3. Kireime
4. Urahara-kei (Street)
5. Salon-Boy
6. Onii-kei
7. gal-o
8. extreme
9. Otaku style (forget what is it call in japanese)

Personally I would prefer kireime out of the rest

As a female, and taking into consideration only their clothes and not the state of their hair
#3: love the shirt and vest combo
#4: the peacock feather, he pulls it off
#7: the fedora really goes well with his outfit.
#11: he looks coordinated
#12:  pretty good except those brown boots.

None of these are my kind of guys.  A couple remind me of the stylists at the hair salon I go to.

Seen better, normally people who dress like that here are always looked kinda down as being show offs, only women use boots like that here and even so we normally tend to ask if they're going to ride on a horse later on. Normally here people tend to dress casual, nothing fancy or "flashy" just pure casual, normal shirt, jeans, leather jackets (depending on the weather).

Choosing a number? I'd probably only choose number 4 jacket, cause seriously if I looked like that (all numbers) on the street people would think I was gay or crazy.

10. The style is more casual, so it's not too bad.
17. I like the idea of shirts and jeans but, otherwise it seems as if he's trying to hard. 

The rest are all nice but, not really within my taste. It's not bad but, I just prefer simple, casual clothes or smart casual styles... going the extra mile to follow fashion is not something I like as much as the former.

Heh! Kool topic!! I am pretty sure we have never talked about fashion before (esp. for guys!).
I think Japan street fashion is very cool! #7 and #12 used to match my style pretty well, actually. These guys are quite a bit younger than me, though, so I none of these would suit me very well these days.

One of my favourite designers is Takeo Kikuchi-- check out their website: http://www.takeokikuchi.com/

Also, here is a really kool, bilingual website with something for everyone! http://www.japan-fashion.com
