So much for Japanese men having a weird sense of style...
This guy has the most amazing outfit I have seen in ages!

 

[purplelucrezia]

This comes pretty close, actually. I'll take it for myself though.

 

[purplelucrezia]

Odd combinations that I like.

That's a good outfit! This guy wears clothes that are more tailored to his body and he looks more mature.

I Japanese street style..the Japanese girls just pull it off so well and look adorable. I would never have the nerve to wear it out though, as this style is frowned upon by them conservative people and I'll probably be called "tacky" etc. What people wear here puts me to sleep..

I love this thread. Always enjoy seeing the way japanese people dress. Wish I could dress like that...I wear red shoes to work and people look at me funny (corporate environment!).

Daring is defined by the society in which you live. Plenty of people wear extreme colours in Japan so it's not really that 'new' or 'happening'...

For example:
In Scotland men walk around in skirts and no-one makes any comment. However in a country where kilts are not common you would be assumed to be a cross-dresser if you wore a kilt.

A guy at my high school used to wear a kilt. Needless to say he was made fun of all the time, but I praised him for having the balls to stick with what he liked, regardless of what others said.

Anyway, individual style is awesome. I hate the carbon-copies that used to plague my school. Experiencing new cultures is so refeshing.

If you're in Chinatown, Doyers St. has a cool little streetwear shop that I've been meaning to check out. Doyers St. is a really nice street to take a detour on, too, because the tourists seem to avoid it. Its a cool little alley-like street that starts at Pell St (betwenn Mott and Bowery) and cuts through to Chatham square. There are a bunch of mini-market type places on Bowery around the square where different vendors sell from the same space. I've seen some cute, inexpensive tops/jackets there.

Here's a pic. of Doyers street- the Japanese store I mentioned is on the right if you're walking from Pell St. Report back if you stop

^^^^^^^^The Taste Good Restaurant has some good, cheap food , too!


Here is a really old pic of Doyers St. circa 1909:

If you have the time, I'd suggest going to Flushing (Queens). Take the 7 train all the way! They have a big market with tons of shops and lots and lots of cool stuff. Check out the "99 cents" store on the first floor. Obviously, not everthing is 99 cents, but they have a lot of good stuff. So much better than Manhattan's 99 cents stores(crapola!). I'm not so sure what kind of clothes they sell at a lot of the shops, because I go for the cute stationary Anyway, Flushing is def. worth checking out if you have the time----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Flushing Mall
This indoor mall has lots of small shops, that sell everything including Hong Kong fashion, jewelry, art, toys, and cell phones. Plus there is a food court and offices for community organizations. There are bargains to be found at the Flushing Mall, though the real appeal of the mall is convenience. With so many retailers in one location, it is easy to shop and browse with friends and family and get a lot done in a short time. Although people from all over shop at the mall, the main clientele are Chinese. Many stores stock items from East Asia, or clothes tailored for East Asians. Loudspeaker announcements are in Chinese. However, there is no need to be intimidated. If a clerk doesn't speak English well, there is sure to be someone else in the store who does. (For a list of all stores, see the website for the Flushing Mall.)

For stationery, stickers, and toys marked with Korean, Chinese, and Japanese cartoon characters, check out Joyce Shop (718-359-4678) on the second floor. They stock all sorts of Chinese pop-star items for the teenybopper crowd and at good prices. If you're searching for the waving cat (a.k.a. the beckoning cat or maneki neko), he is also available in a sparkling gold variety, battery-powered for $10.

Do not miss the True Love Wedding Center (718-321-3666), a huge wedding photography studio on the second floor of the mall. The display photos of preening brides and grooms are a delight!

Several of the restaurants in the food court have earned praise. The best places serve dumplings, noodles, fried rice, or hot pots, nothing too fancy, but done right.
