TOKYO’S TRENDSETTING MEN

Until recently, trendy young men on the streets of Tokyo’s fashion hub, Shibuya favored brown-dyed hair, tanned skin and surfer garb or sportswear. many trendy men have now abandoned this casual look for a new slicker style dubbed onii-kei (”elder brother style”). Key onii-kei pieces include white tailored jacket, low-necked tank tops, imported jeans, and pointed leather shoes. Along with belts, waist pouches, watches, sunglasses, and other accessories from world-famous brands, the onii-kei look demands a teased shag haircut known as “wolf hair”.
