What is worn most here
Old money
No logos — a Western style that argues through fabric and cut.
Boho
Earth colours with embroidery, fringe and long hems. Nothing binds; it should look like the middle of a journey.
Gorpcore
Mountain equipment worn where there is no mountain. A shell jacket, a tapered leg, a shoe that could run. The function is real; the destination is the city.

Growing here
Not yet mainstream in United States, but searches and supply are both rising.
Jirai kei
A Japanese style built on black and pink, pairing sweetness with a darker edge.
Korean style
Relaxed, muted-tone Korean casual that reads polished without effort.
Harajuku
Colour and pattern piled on by addition, born in Harajuku. The question is not whether it suits you but whether you want it.
Visual kei
A style out of Japanese band culture, where makeup and costume build an entire world rather than an outfit.
Ura-Hara
Japanese menswear streetwear rooted in 1990s Ura-Harajuku.
Vibe
Built around a varsity jacket, layered over a hoodie, answered by the colour of the shoes. Chinese everyday menswear.
Blokecore
European dressing built from football kit and tracksuits, worn as everyday clothes.
