Just came back from a trip and Kyoto is magical. We hate the crowds and ended up avoiding some of the more famous spots and focused instead on smaller temples and sites that had a strong history. The stories of the sengoku period are so vivid and visiting those sites has a magical, raw but radically peaceful energy.
I’ll be visiting Osaka soon and want to do some fashion shopping. looking for men’s clothing that aligns with a mature, high-quality take on the Mori/Natural aesthetic.. flowy, relaxed, and draped silhouettes.
Im thinking oversized linen trousers, unstructured band-collar shirts, long flowing cardigans/coats, and organic textures.
Thinking of brands like nest Robe CONFECT, Cosmic Wonder, and Arts & Science but hoping for small local designers I can support.
Planning on visiting the American village - but where in Osaka should I look for small boutiques, high-end select shops, or vintage stores that specialize in this aesthetic?
Thank you in advance for any recommendations! 🌿
