In the style of Asia

Fashion can be something very confusing and the visions of a good style are different for everybody. Most of us think that the best is to follow the new trends but in my own opinion you have to listen when your inner voice says that something suits you and you feel comfortable in it. Unfortunately the new fashion wave is everything else but not comfortable. For example the Nicki Minaj's style and all of this divas is definitely very colorful and ''wow'' and many young girls try to follow her fashion steps but actually the normal people can not effort to wear this type of clothes in their everyday life. At the same time I am not a big fan of the simple fashion without creative thinking and something that attracts you. Too simple is too boring. I think the best solution for a modern city girl is to choose something in between.

That's why I have been impressed by the fashion in Asia. As far as I can see they are all following similar line. And I can say that I really like their way of dressing up (and I am referring to the fashion victims there). They always prefer to wear cute clothes and the weather does not matter at all. In their every day the asian girls always look good, they feel comfortable in their skin. The asian cuties like to wear skirts and socks over the knees or they combine a very feminine dress with sneakers, which actually became popular in Europe and all over the world. But I believe that it originated from Asia.

 They always combine different kind of styles, pointy elegant shoes with baggy jeans and clutch for clubbing. Or a business jacket with runners during the day. The shopping in Asia is one of the most amazing fashion experiences I have ever had and honestly I miss it somehow. There you can find really weird stuff which you think you will never wear. But actually in some of the regions there you have the freedom to be dressed up like a gypsy with all the colors of the rainbow on you and nobody will even notice.

For instance, this is impossible in some countries like Switzerland. There the people don't have this freedom and they always wear very conservative clothe. So some people from these kind of countries get crazy with the shopping in Asia and feel free to wear what they really want. You can find shirts and dresses with very interesting prints and of course you can find a lot of fake bags and clothes. Even bags where is written: " My other bags is Chanel" for those who are not addicted to branding.

The jewelery and accessories are also a very interesting part. Here you can find a really big variation of them. Sometimes I even wondered if this is too much. Earrings with grapes, strawberries, big chains, etc. But if you really want to be different and be noticed by the others when you come back home, Asia is the right place where you can make crazy combinations and form your own original style. The make up is also very interesting, especially in Thailand. Even during the day you can see girls with night make up, fake lashes and sparkling eye shadow. Of course sometimes you get confused because you don't know if you are speaking with a girl or a ladyboy. If you see a girl with really big hands and weird voice but at the same time wearing make up, be sure that there is something wrong. 

The things are different in China or Japan. The girls don't wear too much make up and even prefer to go out more natural during the day. But the style is quite similar. Chinese girls are addicted to cute things and very famous here are the really colorful cases for phones. Everywhere in the world right now it became a part of your style. 

It does not matter where you are coming from, if you come to Asia for shopping for sure you are going to leave very satisfied and you are going to find what you need, just you have to be careful with the over luggage. I personally had to leave a lot of things behind because was not possible to ''transfer'' myself in Europe with all of this. When clothes are so cheap like in China or Thailand, you forget about limits. So beware!

And remember that your own style defines your personality so don't be afraid to show your ideas to the world because you never know who is going to fall in love with it. Be brave in fashion and be brave in your life because we only live once (if there is no incarnation).

Follow your own fashion compass,
