Japanese Fashion Trends

What's popular right now in Japan in terms of fashion? Judging by what I've seen in Shibuya and elsewhere it boils down to a few necessities and outfits that you'll see on nearly everyone deemed 'fashionable' in Japan.

1. Elastic band dressses--you know, the dresses with the black elastic waistband around the middle, and either a white/grey/black top half (with or without sleeves) and some kind of swishy skirt on bottom.

2. Floral prints--these tend to be the bottoms of the above. And there are tons of other dresses that are in style in floral print.

3. Suspenders--a lot of popular shirts these days have built in suspenders for stylish purposes. XD

4. Straw hats--cowboy hats or just round brimmed hats, you'll see a lot of em.

5. Layered vests--if you're wearing one vest, there'll probably be another top over it

That's all I can think of right now, but I'll start paying more attention so I can update later ^^
