MANILA, Philippines - You don’t have to travel all the way to Harajuku, Japan to enjoy the styles that have amused, bemused and inspired teenagers and young adults around the world. From naughty to gothic Lolita, to cute and strange, the Harajuku style has crossed the ocean and is now represented by Harajuku Lovers, one of Rustan’s Department Store’s more popular brands.
This Christmas, teens (and adults) will undoubtedly love to receive casual/sporty clothing from Harajuku Lovers, Local Celebrity and Crooked Monkey.
For casual shoes, there’s Native, Box Fresh, Sanuk, and Tretorn, perfect when you’re hanging out with friends. If you want your shoe purchase to go a little further than your own pair of shoes, choose Toms, which gives a shoeless child a pair for every purchase you make.
Before you hit the beach, check out Ripcurl boardshorts and match them with pouches from Tintamar. Or funk up your laptop with a cool case from Juicy Couture.
If your teen is fond of playing McGyver once in a while, arm him with tools from Touch of Ginger and True Utility, and bags from Lexdray for when he goes camping or on a road trip with his friends.
Encourage your teen to stay active and fashionable while doing sports. It’s a great way for them to stay healthy and begin the new year.
