#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.
VOLCAN&APHRODITE Shibuya 109: Denim Jacket ¥25,000, Sunglasses ¥2,000 / Aymmy in the batty girls: Striped Knitwear ¥13,000, Striped Pants ¥17,000, Boa Waist Pouch ¥9,000 / T&P Shibuya 109: Sneakers ¥2,900 / Everything else is a personal item of the stylist
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.
VOLCAN&APHRODITE Shibuya 109: Down Jacket ¥9,800, Corduroy Pants ¥6,980, Belt ¥980 / Candy Stripper: High Neck Cut & Sewn ¥6,800 / T&P Shibuya 109: Sneakers ¥2,900 / Everything else is a personal item of the stylist
＜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♡”

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!”

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 glassesOn 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? Model's Glasses: JINS - ¥12,000 (Before Tax)

playing around with unique glassesWearing 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. Model's Glasses: OWNDAYS - ¥9,980 (Before Tax)

my new standardEveryone 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. Model's Glasses: JINS - ¥12,000 (Before Tax)

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.

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.

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.

<Ricopin's Thoughts> "I actually haven't been to many parties in my private time, so it felt really fresh dressing up like this and doing this shoot! The location was a hotel which was just too wonderful that I thought 'This needs to be on Instagram!' (laughs) I played with motifs and colours this time, but it was something different from what you'd wear on a regular date. It was party fashion, something to enjoy going all out and dressing up for getting together with stylist girls, so it was great. The mint fur coat feels grown up, and the cat one piece co-ord brings out a style that separates you from others. The down jacket is perfect for outdoor events. I wore colours and items that require courage too, things that would be born precisely because it's a party, so I definitely want people to try challenging themselves! This is the New Year season and winter vacation with lots of events, so be sure to enjoy wearing something different from what you're used to♡" Cooperating Stores Aymmy in the batty girls (03-3470-0140) / Candy Stripper (03-5770-2201) / MARTE (03-3797-3123) 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. This time she has created a special winter style that is girly but spicy. feeling yourself combining rock and girly styles"I like the leather skirt so much that I wanted to buy it the moment I saw it. It's from NADIA in Harajuku. It's leather but has ribbons and mini flairs. It has a sweet and spicy vibe that's irresistible♡ I tried making a co-ord that you can head out with as is by combining the red frill skirt and leopard fur coat. It's winter so I want to look girly from time to time, but there's a rock [gal] in me I can't shake off easily that's left in (laughs). I dressed up in heels, but it will be cute in sneakers too, so I recommend this look!" Information

Looking natural from all angles
2. Pin heels, a girl’s icon
3. A leather bag brings to bring it all together

Clock out of work and head to the powder room!
Transform entirely with these 3 stylish accessories while still in your ON TIME clothes1: 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.

While these outfits are classy they are also nostalgic, calling back to older fashion, and are coordinated with that Ricopin taste.

The yellow socks are a standout player in this overall chic getup. Chicago Jingumae: Used Knitwear ¥1,000 / Laforet Harajuku: High Neck Sweater ¥2,800 (F&A), Oxford Shoes ¥6,400 (F&A), Pleated Leather Skirt ¥8,400 (F.i.n.t) *Everything else are the stylist’s personal items. an old-fashioned student outfit with a jumper skirt and stadium jumper Ricopin forges grace with the checkered jumper skirt and brown high neck knitwear and fur stadium jumper.

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♡" Information
