Fashion Foibles

A note on Japanese fashion. Tie your shoes. Lose the sequins. Blouse your pants to hide the faux leopard fur sticking out of the top of your motorcycle style boots. Eschew mauve and acid green as foundational outfit colors. Strive to avoid jangling like a post apocalyptic scrap metal trinket cart when you walk. And go easy on the menagerie of animals festooning your backpack. And that’s just my advice for the men. I’m no fashion maven, but, c’mon, fellas.
