Edit for Lulu
A sweet, boarding-school-girl innocence seems to be the influence here—picture an outfit consisting of a popcorn-knit cardigan, tweed shorts, and ladylike pumps. From Tokyo's Aoyama neighborhood store listing.
Shopping
Flair
This duo of stores—the other is in Daikanyama—can be counted on to deliver graceful, trend-immune designs, like bias-cut dresses and menswear-influenced pants. From Tokyo's Aoyama neighborhood store listing.
Shopping
Boutique
With its shiny crimson walls and floor, spidery black lamps, and generous use of cast-silver skulls as decor, this dramatic shop feels like Dracula's rec room. But the clothes set a different tone: striking, quite wearable pieces in rather sedate hues. From Tokyo's Harajuku neighborhood store listing.
Shopping
Burberry Blue Label
This sporty, youthful Burberry line is exclusive to Japan, so come here for a classic soft tote or silk scarf emblazoned with a take on the brand's signature plaid. From Tokyo's Harajuku neighborhood store listing.
Shopping
Beams T
The display at this high-concept T-shirt shop is mesmerizing: A mechanized dry-cleaner-like track, upon which hang tees designed by graphic artists, slowly whirs across the store's ceiling, allowing shoppers to see and contemplate each design. From Tokyo's Harajuku neighborhood store listing.
Shopping
Chicago
There are plenty of places where one can pay big bucks for a vintage kimono, but if, like us, you're more interested in wearing than collecting, visit secondhand store Chicago. The pickings are bountiful and in good condition, and the prices largely run under $80. From Tokyo's Harajuku neighborhood store listing.
Shopping
Dual
The entrance to this risk-taking shop isn't visible from the street, so look for the psychedelic mural out front. European and Brazilian designers get equal representation on the racks. From Tokyo's Harajuku neighborhood store listing.
Shopping
Factory
Located on a bustling drag famous for its amazing (and much-photographed) street fashion, basement-level Factory and its contents are just as inspiring as what's going on outside. From Tokyo's Harajuku neighborhood store listing.
Shopping
Florent
There are two neighboring branches of this mellow boutique; one sells more upscale lines, some of which are familiar to American eyes, while the other stocks a good percentage of the house label, which favors feminine shapes and simple embellishment. From Tokyo's Harajuku neighborhood store listing.
Shopping
Hanjiro
You'd need hours at this warehouse-size store full of reworked vintage items to take it all in. From Tokyo's Harajuku neighborhood store listing.
