Zipper Magazine (September 2013): Fashion Inspiration

Zipper is one of my favorite Japanese fashion magazine. Here are some of the inspirational looks in their September issue. Enjoy! ♥

Summer to Autumn Fashion

The September issue of Zipper (ジッパー) magazine shows how you can make your summer clothing suitable for the chilly autumn months.

The clothes featured are from the famous Japanese brand Spinns.

Guess our summer clothing does not need to be back at the bottom of our bureau. Thank you, Zipper and Spinns for these lovely ideas!

The Japanese Tie Dye Trend

I'm not a big fan of the tie die design but seeing it as a Japanese street fashion trend leaves me in awe.

Over-sized tie dye jersey shirt and leggings.

Not the regular tie dye but a tie dye patterned T-shirt.

With basketball shorts and jacket.

Tie dye incorporated in a sporty look?

Why not.

Tie dye shirt and snakeskin design shorts.

Who would have thought?!?

Over-sized tie die shirt under an equally colorful vest.

A lot of things are going on in this outfit.
She's such an adorable eye candy!

Over-sized tie dye shirt as a mini dress.

Not the usual psychedelic art patterned tie dye.

This looks like a bleach tie dye.

Something I would definitely wear.

Tie dye copped top over a black top.

Cropped tops has been seen everywhere in Japan during the summer.

Looks like the tie dye design made its way to the trend.

Tie dye shirt with peace design and large graphic shorts.

Reminds me of the western hippie subculture but with a Japanese twist.

So cute!

Tie dye shirts in Hadeko fashion.

These two would definitely catch the eyes of every person in the street they pass by.

I think their outfit has even completed the color wheel checklist. Amazing!

Out of the Bedroom and onto the Street - The Japanese Pajama Trend

Have you ever went out of the house with your PJs on? I mean, not just going out in convenience store near your house to grab something to snack on in the middle of the night but wearing them just like any of your outdoor clothes. If you have, seems like your style is a current hit in Japan!

Many Harajuku girls were spotted wearing pajama pants during spring and it continued until summer. Why you may ask? I don't know either. Who would question Japanese fashion trend anyway? Anything goes.

The pajama trend isn't relatively new, it has been reappearing since 2011. Many Hollywood celebrities were even spotted sporting the look.

But there is a huge difference in the Japanese take of this trend.

So cute! They look like fun people to be friends with.

I think all the photos sum up everything that I have to say. The pajama trend in Japan pretty much uses pajama pants with fun and colorful prints. They commonly pair it with sneakers. I'm not quite sure with my feelings about this trend but I think it's a really fun and quirky. Looks very comfy too! It seems like a very good outfit choice when you're running late for school. Some might think that you totally forgot to change your bottom wear though.

What do you think about this trend? Yay or nay? Would you try this trend yourself?
