The days are still cold as February draws to a close, but I want to get out of this rut of wearing winter clothes every day! If you feel the same as I do, why not pick out a new pair of glasses in preparation for spring and discover a new you?   clear frames and their natural appearance I want to feel refreshed so I head to a record store to search for a new record. I might try out a genre I don't normally listen to. I've gone for a casual look today with a sweater, jeans and sneakers. I add a scarf for style so I don't look too rough. For those who like unique things but aren't confident with challenging themselves to something new, then I recommend getting glasses with clear frames. At a glance they look difficult to co-ordinate with, but they're in fact a fantastic choice that go with anything. It's good to try out things you normally wouldn't go for to make you feel refreshed.

    rough brought to life with glasses On my days off I usually hole up at home but today I went to chill at a local cafe. I go for a rough look with a hoodie, checkered pants and sneakers. The colours are my silhouette are rough but this is balanced by my brow-framed glasses. This type of frame of course goes well with tight, well-balanced looks, but why not try something different by combining with a rough outfit?

    playing around with unique glasses Wearing a jacket set-up like this makes you feel sophisticated. Grab a coffee during your work break, straighten your back and get through the last day of the week. While an outfit like this will make you feel proper, paying attention to the size and material while taking into account the overall balance will have you looking even more dapper. Since the outfit is so neat and trimmed you've gotta go with a quirky pair of glasses. This gives a playfulness.

    my new standard Everyone has their 'go-to' outfits. By adding just some little changes to your go-to you can experience a whole new you. My long-sleeved trench coat coupled with the loose pants makes for a tight balance. Combining this with glasses that have a defined colour and shape brings the whole mood of the look together. When I look in the mirror, I see an unfamiliar me. A new me.

#OOTD is fashion-lover Rikako “Ricopin” Ōya’s featured series on MOSHI MOSHI NIPPON where she exhibits the latest fashion from Japan. This will be the final entry to the long-standing and popular series which has taken place over a year already!   Ricopin’s crowning glory theme is a favourite colour (or colours) of hers: rainbow. In the final outfit of the article in which she makes up a look with her favourite items on the month she incorporates red as the main colour, her absolute favourite colour.   90’s mix littered with juicy colours Ricopin stylishly layers yellow, orange and blue in this look which elicits a feeling of freshness and energy. Compact sizing of each item brings the entire outfit together instead of it looking too loud. The half zip sweatshirt and coach jacket gives us that 90’s mood.

  playing daring with colours and a men’s-like balance Combining the street styles of an oversized denim jacket and striped pants gives fresh expression when the jacket is striped and the pants are a bright colour. The white accessories and details also help to bring the entire outfit together.

  open a lead with accented colours in a sporty look Ricopin went on a colourful adventure with the high neck cut and sewn, belt and hood which complement the black down jacket base. The purple pants are surprisingly not overly flashy so even if you add colours it never looks too much. Her shoes are thick-soled to give a nice balance in terms of volume.

    ＜Ricopin’s Thoughts＞ “I’ve always liked colour coordination and colourful clothes. Even in my recent outfits I’ve just worn red. My hair is blonde so I wear red clothing I get told I look like [Japanese comedian] Kazlaser [laughs]. But in brightening up I’ve come to enjoy more standout colours than before. I also want to try out blue and green items this year! In winter I’m inclined to wear the same kind of outdoor wear and I tend to go with safe colours in my looks, but when I saw the clothes this time around I saw the light in how much you can play around with colours like this! Whether I’ll be popular in them is another thing entirely [laughs] but I love girls who wear colourful fashion. I feel wearing colours makes you feel more alive. The outfit I personally find to be the easiest to wear is the one with the black down jacket and yellow belt. Accessories add colour so you can change your impression easily, can’t you. My colour recommendation is without question red! Be sure to try colour coordinating yourselves this winter too♡”   Cooperating Stores VOLCAN&APHRODITE Shibuya 109 (03-3477-5072) / Aymmy in the batty girls (03-3470-0140) / Candy Stripper (03-5770-2201) / T&P Shibuya 109 (03-3477-5175)   Check out Ricopin’s own personal outfit! In this section, Style Leader Ricopin shows us what clothes she’s into right now. For her finale, she clads a winter colour look that is very her style. Her thing right now is an everyday style that combines casualness and cuteness.   Owning the sizing with red as the main player＜Interview＞ “This time I used my favourite colour, red, as the main colour! The down jacket is from Little Sunny Bite. This size which is like it’s hugging you is cute and warm and surprisingly goes with anything you combine it with so I’m all about it this year. Generally you’d wear the jacket zipped up with jeans and sneakers but this time I wanted to open the jacket up so I tried balance the volume with white socks and ballet shoes. I see these shoes so much in fashion on the streets and think it’s cute♡ The sweater is striped and is my kind of colourful. I want to carry on challenging myself to more colourful fashion this winter!”   ＜Staff Comment＞ Thank you to all of you who have read this series over the past year. Ricopin’s style has refined with every article and she has shown growth. Her possibilities are endless! The series is coming to an end, but we want to have Ricopin appear in another project sometime in the future. We’ll be sure to keep you updated, so we ask for your continued support until then.

Whether it’s adding a white shirt to denim or something else as simple, basic styles are my weapon of choice. And certain impacting accessories can sometimes perk up a lonely-looking co-ord. Common items are fine with the clothes you choose. So which accessories will give that change of vibe?  

Wear piercings and earrings big

Mild colours evoke that girly essence

Larger accessories are the trend right now. I recommend those with an antique feel to them too. Piercings that sway make their colours stand out more and are perfect for that after-five date. Classic pearls are surefire so be sure to check some out.

Flashy & edgy coloured scarves? Absolutely!

Vivid coloured scarves go well with an outfit. Popular choices are geometric, oriental and checkered designs. If you’re looking in the used clothing section you’re sure to find some unique options – and for a good price.

If you’re not good at hairstyling, don’t worry!

Make them look twice with a barrette

Barrettes will add a little sweetness to your hair. One barrette can make a big difference in those busy mornings so you look gorgeous. Even if you have a simple one, gold leaves a deep impression, and things like primary colours and retro, girly items fit grown-up women perfectly.

These co-ords are for the everyday working girl who can also dress up nice and easily into a post-work, after-five outfit. Complete a look from your casual office-wear by adding some small accessories and head out to enjoy your date or girls get-together.  

ONTIME

A mannish look with a clean white one piece and pants

A clean casual office outfit is life.

Opening the front button of the white one piece creates style like a long shirt.

When combined with coloured pants, everything comes together, and you look handsome.

   

1. Hair back, manful

Looking natural from all angles

 

2. Pin heels, a girl’s icon

3. A leather bag brings to bring it all together

  Always have yourself braced during ON TIME. Back straight, face dignified. Roll up the sleeves of your one piece just a little. Have your hair simple through and through with just one knot so it maintains the freshness of your white one piece look.

Readying the concealed accessories in your bag for one’s best outfit

Preparing those after-five accessories,

those that don’t make even your work bag bulky.

Clock out of work and head to the powder room!

  Transform entirely with these 3 stylish accessories while still in your ON TIME clothes  

1: Hypnotize with swaying hooped earrings

2：Add class with a checkered scarf

  Scarves are an upcoming fashion accessory gaining more and more attention. The milk tea-coloured checkered design is elegant and refined and reflects well with the ON TIME one piece. Choosing larger earrings naturally makes your face look smaller too. Earring ¥4,500 (LATIA) / Scarf (stylist’s own belonging)  

Other Styling: Tying a scarf around one knot is good!

Scarves have many different uses. Highlight your face by tying one in your hair and around a single hair knot. Show just a little of the design, like a floral pattern, and make a point to combine with a simple outfit for perfect results. Scarf ¥3,200 (Santa Monica Harajuku)  

3：A barrette perfect for the bustling streets

A large barrette is after-five’s best friend. Using a marble type plastic barrette will make your hairstyle look mature. If you braid your hair almost to the end and add the barrette and decorative pins your hair will look on-point and stylish all the way around.

My usual outfits are really rough and loose, but this kind of tight look is precious and makes you hold your head high. Especially the first outfit. I actually want to try wearing that kind of boyish, casual style myself! The usual thing to do is wear a shirt under the fest, but the long T gives it that bad boy look. Plus it went with my hairstyle so I liked it. Although the combination of the pleated skirt and knitwear in the second outfit are the school items the mature look is super cute♡ I also personally like casually adding different colours here and there. The final outfit is a classic girly look. It's part of my image so it was easy to wear. Also, I'm really into brown right now. My nails are painted that colour so making the inner part of this look brown was a highlight of the outfit♪"   Cooperating Stores Jingumae Chicago (03-5414-5107) / Aymmy in the batty girls (03-3470-0140) / F.i.n.t Laforet Harajuku (03-5843-0395)   Check out Ricopin’s own personal outfit! In this section, Style Leader Ricopin shows us what clothes she’s into right now. This time around she's created an outfit entirely out of clothes from her favourite brand - Aymmy in the batty girls! Her look is centred around her most beloved item: overalls. my best co-ord, it was love at first sight   <Interview> "I love this overall so much I've probably posted it so many times on Instagram (laughs). This was actually my first overall I bought. The shape is beautiful and the legs look long, and combining it with the knitted jumper from the same brand makes it the ultimate cute♡ If you're not careful with overalls you end up looking childish, but having mature elements makes it wonderful, like the high waist design and ribbon on the back. It's easy to get the balance right and it'll go with any shoes, but when thinking about the knitwear and my own style I decided to go with platforms♡"
