Autumn is coming to Japan. I can tell by the change in clothing.

Even though the last two days have been extremely hot (nearly 38 degrees), women are wearing fall outfits with long sleeves and all. Greys, blacks, fashionable browns, plums and burgundies are all on the streets now.

Which isn’t to say that everyone watched the calendar change to September and immediately unearthed their sweaters and wool pants. I, for example, have persisted in wearing tank tops and gauze. But in a few weeks, I’ll be among the remaining few. I’ll start getting funny looks on the subway if I wear my sandals into October.

I guess it’s time to take all those sweaters to the cleaners… Posted by kuri at September 04, 2000 08:02 AM
