Tokyo’s spring fashion scene is a bold fusion of current trends and grunge-inspired flair—and 2025 is no exception. From edgy reinterpretations of the model-off-duty look to bold sportswear layered with statement accessories, this season is all about eye-catching style. Showcasing seven standout Japanese streetwear brands, here are four must-have trends to get if you’re in Tokyo this spring.
The model-off-duty look gives the classic clean aesthetic a fresh edge. Think fitted jeans and plain tank tops elevated with romantic, figure-flattering pieces from Maison Mume, or loose denim layered with skirts and dresses for a playful Y2K twist. Sleek silver accessories add polish to the effortless vibe, while button-ups—a staple of the model-off-duty style—get a spring refresh at VIAVANDA, where ribbons let you customize silhouettes with a touch of flair.
Maison Mume is an emerging brand you won’t want to miss. This spring, while classic trench coats make a strong statement, it’s what’s underneath that truly captivates—think soft, romantic pieces that feel effortlessly feminine. Maxi skirts, a spring staple, are reimagined by Maison Mume with flowing silhouettes perfect for layering and creating dreamy, elevated looks.
This spring, it’s all about the shoes—and they come in groundbreaking forms. Yello and grounds are standout Japanese fashion brands worth shopping at. To top off statement shoes, Ambush has you covered with its jersey line to achieve a chic, sporty aesthetic.
Want to add a spin to your corporate wardrobe? Capris are making a surprising comeback this year. Check out Ambush’s capri sets, perfect for early summer styling. Maison Mume stunned us with its shirred collection, bringing delicacy to office wear and making it a must-visit for dainty yet polished essentials. The Ivy Top, in particular, adds a refined touch to your everyday corporate aesthetic. To complete the look, check out Akikoaoki, which redefines office footwear with a grunge-inspired twist, giving your existing looks a new edge.
Fashion in 2025 is all about bold innovation, sustainability, and personal expression. AI and 3D printing revolutionize the way we dress, allowing designers to use technology for custom-fit clothing that reduces waste and offers endless customization options. Fashion styles are combining futuristic technology with nostalgic influences to create a dynamic mix of trends.
Sustainability is no longer just a trend—it’s a necessity. In 2025, brands are prioritizing biodegradable materials, such as mushroom leather, algae-based dyes, and recycled ocean plastics. Upcycled fashion is also popular, with designers transforming vintage fabrics into modern statement pieces. Look for zero-waste patterns and clothing made from plant-based fibers like hemp and bamboo.
The ‘90s grunge aesthetic is back, but with a modern twist. Oversized flannel shirts, ripped fishnet stockings, and chunky combat boots paired with feminine slip dresses are trending. Dark florals, plaid prints, and layered textures add depth to this edgy trend. Celebrities like Bella Hadid and Dua Lipa have been spotted rocking this look, proving that grunge is here to stay.
For those who love dreamy, ethereal styles, romantic futurism is the trend to watch. This style combines soft, flowing silhouettes with high-tech fabrics, such as holographic chiffon and iridescent tulle. Details like puff sleeves, corset lacing, and delicate chainmail embellishments create a medieval-meets-sci-fi vibe while the color palette features soft pastels, metallic sheens, and moody jewel tones.
2025 is also about bold, vibrant colors. The runway is dominated by neon greens, electric blues, and fiery oranges, thanks to advances in sustainable dye technology. Conversely, biophilic colors, inspired by nature, like moss green, terracotta, and sky blue, are also trending. Whether you prefer bold monochrome outfits or subtle color-blocking, this year encourages experimentation with shades.
Wearable tech is more stylish than ever. Imagine solar-powered handbags, self-heating jackets, and LED-embedded dresses populating the streets. Some brands are introducing mood-changing fabrics that shift color based on temperature or emotions, making clothing not just fashionable but also practical for everyday life. Minimalism is also getting a twist with sharp blazers and wide-leg trousers featuring unexpected details like asymmetrical cuts and cut-out designs.
In the denim world, Free People’s We The Free line offers a diverse collection that caters to various spring styles. Barrel-leg jeans have made a significant impact, featuring clean lines and an intriguing curvature that offers an easy yet elevated style perfect for spring. With 20 colorways and fits available, these jeans are a must-have addition to your wardrobe.
Capris, or long jorts, have become a spring staple as well, while micro skirts and skorts offer versatility for sunny days or rainy ones. The Gallivanting Peekaboo Skort gives users the look of a micro skirt with the coverage of shorts, combining fashion and function.
Denim pieces with unique details, like drawstring ties and elongated cuffs, add noticeability to outfits. Meanwhile, the retro trend of the ‘70s is making a comeback, featuring bootcut silhouettes and ultra-high rise fits crafted from premium non-stretch denim.
2025 is set to be groundbreaking in women’s fashion, showcasing a blend of individuality and conscious choices amongst innovative technology, sustainability, and design.
