Why Asian Fashion Needs to be Trending

Fashion is used as a way to express ourselves. Baggy sweat pants mean you’re not feeling it today, accessories mean you made an effort. I love fashion and in particular, Asian fashion. The styles are so different from American fashion and I find it to be classy, chic, and cute at the same time. Whenever I am in Chinatown or Japantown I take note of what the people there are wearing. There are a wide variety of clothes from lolita skirts coupled with crisp button ups to pants that don’t quite make it to your ankle but you can’t call capris, a long knit scarf that isn’t needed in the springtime, and lensless glasses. Asian men even make purses look good! They look incredibly stylish and I think it is so cool that they can pull off what I wholeheartedly doubt any other group of people couldn’t. I hope that we can take a page from their book; American fashion is sloppy and laid back, and I like it, but I wish that we would smarten up just a bit.
