I have been seeing Japanese do the "layered style" you speak of for at least a decade longer than it has been popular on this side of the pacific. I am actually a little surprised now how much typical American teen fashion now reminds me of Japanese fashion (in that tight layering) 10 or 15 years ago.

Japanese are 'following' western fashion, lol >.>'''

haha xD
buut meh~
it works for the asians...
the layering and what not
...
lookssss cute xD

Just don't assume it is A&F...

nah xD

A&F is aimed more for college kids
the preppy lot of rednecks, hicks, hoochies, and the like
who have absolutely no taste in fashion
and have more money from mumsy and pops than they know what too do with....
and also draws attention from ugly college wanna-be middle/high school kids who want too look like their favourite college redneck
and wear the same unstylish, and exuberantly dull articles of clothing
>.>'''

...totally not fitting the japanese teen scene
lmao xD

the whole a&f company is just ridiculous really. i used to work for hollister. worst job ever ><

wow x]
makes me glad hollister never called me back
lmao xD

and meh, the only reason why i like express is because they have clothes that actually suit some of my taste (formal/casual attire that costs $200+ a set, lmao)

Japaneses do not really wear so different style than foreign. Maybe with a "asian touch" haha. Right now, babydoll-dress(is it called like it) is really popular! Because it's so easy and it's so hot!

I like such brands like; mocha, Myfashion, Aya Ori shop wich has really cute belts and accessories!, ROOTOTE wich has cute bags, SCOPY, Milly Molly Mandy wich really awesome Vivienne accessories, Romantic Standard, Serendipity, G2, Emily Temple Cute, Hanjiro Harajuku, and so on.~ You should look out for them.

Some of those are really cute, and maybe they do not suite your style. But many woman in 20~30 use them. :vsign:
