When it comes to style and fashion, the men in Tokyo somehow always manage to stay one step ahead from everyone else.

Feminine glamour may turn the most heads at fashion weeks in New York or Paris, but in Tokyo it is the style-conscious men who set the sartorial trends. From sharp futurism to wool-and-denim casuals, the finale of Tokyo Fashion Week recently put the spotlight largely on menswear, aiming to promote the most dynamic area of Japanese clothes design.
