What is worn where, right now

See the map →

Style is itself a geographic thing. Jirai kei grew almost nowhere but Japan, old money is led by the West, and only Y2K overlaps everywhere. Here is that map.

JP · Country

Japan

Styles carry precise names here, each with its own brands and retail floors. Jirai kei and ryosangata grew nowhere else.

KR · Country

South Korea

An aesthetic of subtraction, carried by silhouette and tone. No foreign trend weighs more on Japanese teens and twenty-somethings.

CN · Country

China

Heavily shaped by Korean style, with old money and Y2K running at the same time. Its social-media trend cycle is the fastest anywhere.

TW · Region

Taiwan

Japanese and Korean trends arrive almost simultaneously. Sweet-leaning styles find a wide audience.

US · Country

United States

The Y2K revival and quiet luxury run in parallel. Wealth expressed without logos has settled in as a norm.

GB · Country

United Kingdom

Street and heritage mix here. Its reading of old money sits closest to the original.

DE · Country

Germany

Sportswear is simply everyday clothing here. Practicality and durability come first.

IT · Country

Italy

Quiet luxury built from cloth rather than signals. No logos; the grain of the fabric and the fall of the shoulder do the talking. The supply side of old money sits here.

RU · Country

Russia

The tracksuit has been everyday wear here for a long time. Warmth and ease of movement set the standard.

FR · Country

France

Minimalism stripped of excess. It argues through cut and cloth rather than volume.

TH · Country

Thailand

Strongly shaped by K-pop and Y2K; styles with many colours are readily accepted.
