Today's musings: 001: The Asian Invasion

While perusing The Sartorialist today, I realized something. It wasn't so much a realization as it was an obvious fact that I subconsciously chose to ignore. And the subconscious subduing was this, Asians (most of them anyway) really seem to have their fashion sense together.

Per, The Sartorialist

If you click on any of the months of the Sartorialist, there are always a few snaps of incredibly well-put-together Asian men and women. Or if you peruse WhoWhatWear, their MySpace muses often dole out uber-trendy looks (usually seen on an Asian or two). Since these are fashion websites (they only discriminate your clothing choices), it's interesting to see how Asians combine the upscale, downscale and midscale around the globe.

For your information, I'm Asian. I think most of us are pretty on point about things. You're either my sister--who rocks tees and jeans like it's nobody's business, or you're my friend--who's wearing purple jeans, fringed suede booties and a leather jacket to lunch, or you're me--somewhere in between.

We're all shaped differently. That's what makes fashion so interesting. I'm not sure what it is about Asians, but a well-dressed Asian receives accolades in my book while a trendy Asian offends me beyond belief.

With that, I leave you with a few more pictures from around the net that demonstrate the Asian Invasion.
