Tokyo trends

The first thing i usually do when i come to Tokyo, after i hug Hata and eat something delicious from 7-11, is try to figure out what this seasons biggest fashion trend is.
It usually takes me about five minutes and the trick to figuring it out is easy: it's the thing everyone is wearing!

This year it's floral patterns, the maritime look (combined with kind of an old English beach resort look) and... straw hats.
While i'm all about the floral and nautical themes, i'm still not too sure about the hats.

Pretending to take a picture of Hata: the oldest trick in the book!
All shapes and sizes, but the most popular ones are the really flat ones that sits high on your head
Combining floral prints and hats? Bonus points to this shop!
Some are cheap looking and some are super fancy

Ever since we got here, i've been ranting about them to Allan.
He told me from the start, that there was no way i was gonna be able to pull off the straw hat look.
And since i'm not Japanese, or friggin Anne of Green Gables for that matter, i reluctantly had to agree.
But then the other day when we went into this one hat shop in Harajuku, i started trying some on and now i don't know...

No, i'm still not pulling it off, but i think i might have to get one anyway!
