The layered style that’s essential to Heisei-retro fashion works great year-round.
By pairing the frilly skirt you wore in summer with your winter clothes, you can create an original, stylish look.
Wearing hoodies or knits with frilly or pleated skirts keeps the outfit from being too sweet, which is a great option.
Add leggings or colored tights under skirt fabrics to make color the focal point while keeping warm.
Enjoy winter fashion with seasonal silhouettes and colors.
In conclusion
The charm of Heisei retro fashion lies in its mysterious aesthetic where nostalgia and freshness coexist.
The styles of that era haven’t faded with time, and by blending them with today’s trends, you can express a completely new sense of individuality.
Why not discover cherished pieces of your own and enjoy a personalized retro-mix style?
