Shopping trousers in Tokyo or (Big in Japan II)
My wardrobe needed some upgrading with regards to trousers – trekking pants plus 1 pair of jeans was simply inappropriate. So off we went to uniqlo the famous Japanese budget clothes store. However after checking the sizes available….. i started to feel very big. They regularly don’t have jeans bigger than 25”…. which is i believe a EU 34. After making my way through all the floors I found some chinos from the uniqlo special edition designed by French designer Inès de la Fréssange and luckily the biggest one of them was size 67cm which was just a perfect fit! So if you need trousers in Japan, make sure you don’t eat too much tempura beforehand… unless you do fit comfortably in a EU 36!
