East Asian fashion trends are generally ahead of the western world when it comes to deciding what looks hot and what the next big thing should be. They championed the slip dresses, skinny jeans and bright colours long before we adopted it on the other side of the world. If you want to stay ahead of the fashion game, here are seven trends that’ll keep you looking fresh.
When we think about Japanese fashion trends our minds tend to wander to the more eclectic and unique ensembles spotted in Tokyo’s Harajuku district. However, Tokyo street fashion isn’t all about odd layers, frills or hanging fabrics – you’ll find that there can be simplicity in Japanese street style. One of the major trends for 2019 is using colours to create contrast and accents. Within a monochrome look, make sure to add bold block colours to make it more interesting, lively and bright.

Pairing a maxi skirt with an otherwise edgy or masculine outfit seems like a combination that doesn’t work, but interestingly enough, it does. Maxi skirts can come in so many shapes, sizes, colours and fabrics making it the perfect clothing item to add to an outfit if you’re looking to mix things up. It also adds a hint of femininity and class to edgier and more formal outfits.
