It’s official—denim is taking over the world! We saw it in New York, all over the fashion capitals in Europe, and now a major crop pops up in Tokyo and street fashion. As a ready to wear material, lighter blue denims and cottons were essential components of both androgynous blue collar looks and uber-girly frills—especially when it came to button-up work shirts, classic denim jackets and vests. Likewise footwear tapped denim both light and dark for everything from simple Keds-like sneakers to rugged unisex boots to feminine wedges. And for the frill factor, denim turned up in jewelry and hair accessories as fabric flowers and bows. READ MORE +

When the skirts are short, the legs (and, conveniently, legwear) get all the attention. Stylish young women in Tokyo accessorized their miniskirts and shorts with all sorts of patterned hosiery and statement legwear. Over-the-knee socks were one of the top choices, usually in black or black-plus-pattern. But the legs weren’t only about tall socks—tall boots were a must-have to complement the over-the-knee legwear look. Tough boots were a top choice, from heavy duty Doc Marten style lace-up boots to rugged outdoorsy looks, as well as softer slouchy versions and big turned-down cuffs. READ MORE +

Shibuya and Harajuku are the place to go for cool, edgy young urban fashions in Tokyo, so it’s no wonder that the retail windows there were popping with the watches to match.

On some digitals, just a touch of bright colour on the buttons offered a fresh update. Digitals in general were a must have in this category, as part of a greater retro revival theme that ranged from 60s modern to 80s hi-tech. Rubber bangle and cuff-style watches served as a perfect piece to layer into a stacked wrist jewelry look. READ MORE +

Looking to invest in some new outerwear before winter really hits? Go with the toggle coat–its versatile shape and unusual closures make it an excellent choice. Designers agree, as many featured it in their Fall ’10 collections–and now there is an impressive variety of options on the market. Coat lengths vary, from knee-length to mid-thigh to cropped, as do colours–you can get one in classic camel or black, but bright yellows and oranges are available as well and will certainly make you stand out in a snowstorm. Traditional wool and woven fabrics are still very popular, but shearling, knit, and fur-embellished coats are also making a splash. And if you want extra warmth, make sure to get one with a hood.
