Japanese fall fashion

In the north of England where I grew up, the flat cap was (and presumably still is) a form of hat favoured by old fellas. Plus, as well as performing a practical head warming purpose, it’s also a popular image associated with the region and its working class roots.

However, in Japan, the garment clearly has no such connections or connotations. Quite the opposite in fact, as this year it would appear to be the fall’s must-have fashion accessory for both little fellas.

    I love the hat the older woman in the 2nd picture is wearing. Very retro. Although not quite the outfit I would pair the hat with . . . .

    Interesting how a bygone trend has reemerged there Lee. Also interesting is your use of the word “Fall” as opposed to “Autumn” which would be my choice, having grown up in ‘Ol England too.. nevertheless, I am not one to wave a stick at the various (US springs to mind in this case) permutations of our mother tongue!
    Anyway my first impression reminded me of all those Andy Cap cartoons…

      Yes, Andy Capp came to my mind too when I saw the little lad in the first picture.

      As for the unusual use of ‘fall’, like you, I always use ‘autumn’, but here it created a nice bit of alliteration, so fall, for once, it was!
