I'm going to touch on 3 Japanese fashion trend that has recently became popular.
Well, I'm not going to talk about the
gyaru,
visual kei or
lolita fashion, that's for sure.
Instead, it'll be about the forest, the mountain and the man.
Recently I've been hearing a lot about
Mori Girls,
Yama Girls and
Oji Girls.
These three fashion trends has become increasingly popular nowadays.
Mori Girls
Mori = Forest in Japanese
Basically a mori girl is a forest girl in literal translation.
Mori girls love to wear earthy clothes. Earthy colours. Basically earthy.
I don't know but to me, this fashion style smells of spring,
And I actually really really love this fashion style (especially the last two pictures)
The colours and the dresses are so pretty.
But they do hell lots of layering and it's nearly impossible to do layering in Singapore.
Yama Girls
Yama = Mountain in Japanese
So yama girls, as the name tells you, dress like they're on the mountain.
They're definitely more active looking and dress in bright colours.
The way they dress is definitely fit to climb a mountain or to go trekking.
Pretty yet comfortable.
I like the bright colours. I mean, they look so cheerful and active.
The outfit in the last picture is my favourite!
But then again, there aren't any mountains in Singapore that is suitable for you to dress like this (just hills).
I mean, it'll be a little weird if you're all dressed up to hike but end up walking around Orchard road shopping.
Oji Girls
Oji = Uncle
Oji girls dress in man's outfits.
Not literally man's outfits but man-inspired outfits.
Suit, Pants, Vests, Shirts....
This style seems really popular this few months.
Might be because it's Winter and this outfit seems pretty warm.
I kind of like the suits :3
This fashion style looks like it will be suitable for working though.
I like it when it's matched with shorts!
But I guess you can't look manly to wear this or else you can easily be mistaken as the opposite sex.
Actually, I only got to know Mori Girls on LJ. I've heard about Yama Girls from this Japanese variety show I was watching. Oji Girl was because I tried googling for Mori Girls and Yama Girls :3
I thought it was rather interesting to be reading up on such stuff! So I thought I should write it down somewhere, so here it is! :)
I would say that I like the Mori Girls best :3 Followed by the Oji Girls :)
