TOKYO FASHION - SPRING
2006 UPDATE
|
There were some very distinct fashion trends for young
women in Tokyo this Spring.
Denim jackets and skirts - Never worn together, but a short denim
jacket would be worn over a dress or t-shirt with pants in a wide
range of lengths from the very short to full length in either army
green or camouflage.
|
Below the knee length boots were very common, worn with
shorts or dresses, but with bare legs. Stocking socks were worn with the
boots, more frequently showing than hidden at the top. The styles of
boots varied greatly, as I don't think I ever saw any the same.
Many boots were a cowboy style, but with a high pointed heel. Others had
patterns on the side or fancy laces. Black was not a common color.
