Packing for a 10-day trip to Japan was a serious feat, but the trip was well worth it for all the style inspiration I could bring back from Tokyo. Walking around the neighborhoods of Shibuya, Daikanyama, Shinjuku, Harajuku, and Meguro City for days on end, there was no shortage of cool street style outfits, and I took meticulous notes on all the trends I saw. I may have only been in Tokyo for five of the 10 days, but during that half of the trip, I covered a lot of ground. Shopping is *the* activity to partake in in Tokyo, and it’s on a whole other level compared to other fashionable locales, with countless retail stores, massive malls and plazas, and vintage shops that line almost every street. But even with all that, Tokyo is still missing a Nordstrom.
Now that I’m back, I rounded up 38 items that Tokyo fashion girls would love to shop at Nordstrom based on my observations. From uniform dressing and see-through dresses to bows and crossbody bags, I feel pretty confident that the pieces below would sell out fast if Nordstrom ever were to set up shop in Japan’s capital.
