13 Crazy Colorful Styling Tricks to Copy From Tokyo Fashion Week

Updated on 3/21/2016 at 12:24 PM

If Paris Fashion Week is polished and New York Fashion Week is forward thinking, Tokyo Fashion Week is fun.

It's easy to suffer from fashion fatigue after London, New York, Milan, and Paris, but Tokyo tastemakers served up a jolt of hyperyouthful, quirky chic from Wednesday to Sunday — and it's enough to snap even the most jaded of stylewatchers out of their style comas. We love that showgoers in Japan's capital aren't afraid of experimenting with color in a world where so many fashion folk tend to favor (or, dare we say, fall back on) an all-black uniform. Even if your own wardrobe fits that bill, we promise these styling ideas will tempt you to weave a little more color into your life.
