Be it outrageously over-the-top or on point minimalism, you can always count on the Japanese to turn heads with their sartorial choices.

While we won't deny trawling the Internet for pics of the best-dressed during Fashion Week for some OOTD inspo, we've gotta say nothing beats the street style concoctions that come out of Tokyo Fashion Week.

With Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Tokyo wrapped up on Sunday, here's a roundup of our favourite fashionistas who owned the street style game.

Keeping it traditional

You don't need to be a geisha to wear a kimono or Geta shoes. Try mixing modern silhouettes and quirky accessories with your traditional garb to get on fashion's A-list.



Blurred lines

No one does gender-bender dressing better than the Japanese. Pile on loads of attitude, and you'll give Jaden Smith a run for his money in the "boys who wear dresses" department.

Fan of cosplay? Why not bring fantasy to life with a little imagination a la this awesome twosome.


It's all in the detail

Attention to detail is what makes an outfit. Whether it's Issey Miyake's signature pleats, a jacket held up by safety pins or emblazoned with your favourite manga character, if you've got the artistic flair, flaunt it. If your outfit makes people want to take a closer look, it's a sure thing that you've made it.




Spy vs. Spy

We'd sign up for anything that helps us resemble a modern day Katherine Hepburn. One can never go wrong with a pair of wide-legged trousers paired with a trench coat.


Smells like teen spirit

What do we love most about '90s fashion? Denim-on-denim, clogs, colour-blocked jumpers and baggy jeans. This is one throwback that we don't mind reliving again and again.
