Tokyo Girls Collection Street Snaps 2013 Spring/Summer – 100 Pictures

Posted on 12 Mar. 2013

in: Tokyo Fashion News • Tokyo Street Snaps

Tokyo Girls Collection is the most popular one-day fashion event in Japan. In early March, 30,000 Japanese girls converged on the Yoyogi National Gymnasium in Harajuku for the Spring/Summer 2013 edition of this massive event. We’ve already posted our exclusive photo report on Tokyo Girls Collection 2013 Spring/Summer. Now it’s time to take a closer look at what TGC attendees were wearing!

Since we began street-snapping Tokyo Girls Collection attendees back in 2009, we’ve found that looking at the TGC crowd is one of the most accurate ways to spot real fashion trends on the streets of Tokyo. The tens of thousands of girls who attend Tokyo Girls Collection are fashion-conscious, uber-trendy, and – most importantly – real people. These are not models, and they’re not being paid (in fact, they are paying to attend). What the TGC crowd wears largely reflects what real girls in Tokyo will be wearing for the current season.

For Spring/Summer 2013, the biggest trend we noticed was definitely caps. Caps are the break-out item for late winter/early spring on the streets of Tokyo. The caps we saw had a variety of different messages printed on them, with “New York” being an especially popular choice. The other major trend was vertical black and white stripes. The stripes were seen on mini-skirts, pants, and dresses. Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is even wearing vertical striped pants in her latest GU TV commercial!

Other trends included bodycon skirts, high-top skater sneakers (the specific style looks like the shoes in this recent street snap), jewels or metal decorations on jackets (as if someone took a statement necklace and attached it to the pocket of a jacket), denim, skinny jeans, leather sleeve jackets, and print pants. If you notice any trends we missed, please post them in the comments. Enjoy the Tokyo Girls Collection street snaps, and click on any photo to see it in high resolution!

Don’t forget the oversized trend. Almost all outer wear must be oversized. Also the boys trend where boyish items are put together with girly ones~ I love Japan so much <3

Loads of caps yes, and the girl in the flower dress and the black handbag was terrific, very elegant.
@gary, they were the masks to not spread their cold and in addition Spring is the height of hay fever season in Japan.

I think that brown, curly hair is a trend too, many japanese girls use hair of a brown lignt color, people say that is kota-koti´s influence. the jacket with the phrase: “Gos loves Ugly” is so cool!

I wish in my country I could find nice coats, everything is so ugly here ..

Thanks for all of the comments! :-)
For those who asked about the two girls who appear to be sisters, their outfits are by a Japanese kids brand called “Banana Chips”. The brand has a shop near Design Festa in Harajuku (not far from Nadia/G2?).
