I’ve been exposed to Japanese culture since I was a kid because my Okasang (Mom) lives in Japan. No, I’m not half Japanese, I just dress like one, ahaha! I’ve always been fascinated with how Japanese dresses up, they have this sense of style that is simple, unique and effortless.<\/p>\n

Like everything else, the Japanese style has evolved through out the time. According to Shoichi Aoki during his interview with qz.com, Japan’s wild and creative Harajuku style is dead<\/a>. Harajuku is known to be a haven of fashion-forward Japanese youths who are not afraid to express their selves through fashion. During my two visits in Harajuku, I only noticed few Japanese who were wearing over-the-top clothing or like those that I saw in magazines and internet. Mostly, people are just wearing basic and minimalist looking outfits. According to Aoki, Harajuku’s wild fashion has already been replaced by conservative and less-unique style because of the influence of international brands that penetrated Japan’s fashion industry, and that also includes their very own Uniqlo.<\/p>\n

I love Uniqlo because of the simplicity and ingenuity of their clothing lines, but I won’t be talking about the brand on this blog. I’m wearing a Uniqlo jogger pants on this style post though. :D<\/p>\n

Lately, I’ve noticed that my sense of style has evolved into something basic and simple. I also love pieces in earth tones and muted colors, and for me these are the words that best describes what Japanese style is right now, and I totally loves it!<\/p>\n

I found this modern kimono while browsing the rack of sale items at Bershka during my recent trip in Japan. I’ve always wanted to own a modern kimono, and I got it for only 1,290 Yen or roughly, 500 pesos. I fell in love with it the moment I tried it because it fits me perfectly.<\/p>\n

Cap: The SM Store | Eyewear: Fly Shades | Shirt: Markus | Modern Kimono: Bershka | Pants: Uniqlo | Watch: Komono | Tote Bag: Forever 21 | Sneakers: New Balance<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For this look, I just put together basic items in earth tones. What I love about wearing basic items is that, it’s very easy to put together a look, you just need to make sure that the colors goes well with each other, and voila! It’s also very easy to mix and match.<\/p>\n

I know I can come up with more looks using this modern kimono and I’m really excited to show it to you guys.<\/p>\n
