Beyond compelling plots and lovable characters, many anime also serve up some seriously amazing anime fashion inspiration. Let’s look at the fantastic 4 most amazing fashion anime series of all time and the iconic looks they’ve spawned.
Sailor Moon’s Retro Chic
With its pinks, bright colors, and short skirts, Sailor Moon defined an instantly recognizable ’90s anime aesthetic. When not in sailor suits, the characters rocked quintessential 90s casual looks. Usagi and friends made it cool to dress in colorful fitted tees, bike shorts, chokers, and more.
Akira’s Cyberpunk Edge
The landmark 1988 film Akira took anime fashion into dark, gritty cyberpunk territory. Kaneda’s red jacket and motorcycle getup epitomized dystopian biker chic. Akira created a template for the shadowy anime techwear looks that persist today being imitated by the likes of rap icon Kanye West.
JoJo’s Unique Flair
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure isn’t afraid of loud prints, wild colors, and over-the-top accessories. The poses and getups perfectly match the show’s dramatic energy. JoJo characters dress with a uniqueness and sense of flair entirely their own.
Demon Slayer’s Traditional Twist
Demon Slayer smartly outfits its demon hunters in traditional Japanese garb like Haori jackets and Kimono, but with inventive fabric patterns and designs. The stylized traditional clothing helps make the slayers look ready for action.
Anime spans many genres and settings, but fashion-forward design remains constant. These series demonstrate anime’s knack for creating iconic unforgettable aesthetics and outfits.
