Dutch jeans with taste of Japanese style

After centuries of isolation ended in the late 1800s, Western-style fashions caught on in Japan, and now designers are adding Japanese style elements from traditional garments to Western clothing.

Jumping on this bandwagon is Dutch label G-Star Raw with its new offering Inakaya Denim. “Inakaya” means “person from the countryside”, which is apt as the jeans are styled like the work pants customarily worn by Japanese farmers. The billowy cut should make the pants easy to move around in, as should the lightweight material used, reports Rocket News.

Details include ankle straps for a tapered look, and an extra-large hip pocket that can accommodate smartphone and keys.
G-Star Raw’s suggested retail price for Inakaya Denim is 25,920 yen (US$254).
