Hey Everyone,

I am going to Japan for 3 months and was wondering if I should pack little clothing and buy most of it there?
I am bit unsure about this because I do not know how much clothing costs and where to even buy. I will be based in Tokyo. Was hoping you guys could suggest places to go, that have like must-buy clothing or must-see clothing. Or if I should come back, what articles of clothing should I come back with? Is there something special about Japanese clothing?

Thanks!

We actually have a lot of threads about shopping in Tokyo: http://www.styleforum.net/newsearch?search=tokyo+shopping

Japan tends to have a lot more choice than the US, particularly for menswear, and the Yen is very low compared to the dollar right now, so it's a good time for you.

We don't know your style, so it's hard to answer your questions in detail. if you can give us an idea of what you like and the prices you wish to/can pay, we could do better.
