Bold and shocking colors have ruled almost all year long. But this month we see a wave of basic earth tones that feels very refreshing. Colors like Stone and Seal Brown; Cedar, Olive and Vineyard Green; Oyster; Bronze. Used in everything from hats to coats to shoes.

Tokyo is suddenly getting down to earth.

Elegant, cute and classic are the keywords for the new styling. And as a little extra twist, Tokyo’s trendsetters use their hair and make-up to add some bright colors to this reserved and modest look. Red Dahlia dyed hair, a Blue Atoll wig, or lips accented in Mars Red.

It’s a subtle but smart way to bring out the earth tones, and also adds zest and vivacity. Like wrapping a colorful obi around a quiet kimono.
