Speaking of Japanese streetstyle and fashion, I stumbled upon this video from Reebok documenting some styles of the Japanese streetstyle scene during the cherry blossom festival. Interesting video, and I was surprised by the interviewer's Japanese lingual skills.

"Japan is like a toy box. Within the fashion, there are many variations."

Japan is home to a wide array of different styles, from the avant-garde Visual Kei style of Harajuku to the more muted street styles shown above. Walking around Shibuya, or Ginza; you'll see that style and fashion is ubiquitous. I'd say more ubiquitous than here in the US. Japan will always be on my list for one of the most stylish countries as a whole, and I can't wait to possibly visit again this summer. I simply cannot stop perusing through these street-style shots.

In my opinion, a bag is one of those accessories that can easily tie an outfit together. Usually backpacks and bags are overlooked by some, which is understandable since they add more weight and can be more of a bother. But the many varieties and styles of bags is what keeps me and many others interested. The most sought-after bags are usually of the rucksack or satchel style, which mostly provides an earthy and rustic feel. Looking through STREETFSN, I saw the post all about menswear bags; and I couldn't help but post some of my favorites from the photo-collection.
