Comparing to UNIQLO, a coordination under 5,000 yen is not that difficult with Shimamura. Shimamura is a Japanese fast fashion brand like UNIQLO, but unlike UNIQLO, it does not have its own factory, and more like select shop. While UNIQLO has a lot of simple items, Shimamura has a lot of girly and up-to-date fashion items, so just simple coordination would be enough.
Reasons why I love Shimamura is that they have a lot of items that come in set. The set itself are fashionable enough but I like to separate them and coordinate each item with other clothings. This time I am showing you a couple mix and match coordination with these 2- set items.
- Simple white T shirt, stripe knee long dress and sash-belt - 1,900 yen
- Print T shirt and knit long vest - 1,500 yen
As you can see it they are nicely coordinated already but you can make them more unique with some extra items.
Jogger pants with T shirts can be unfashionable and could look like a room wear. But using the T shirts & vest set-up along with the sash belt, it instantly changed the mood of the whole outfit and make it more fashionable. The sash belt marks your waist which makes your legs longer and your waist thinner by sight.
- Jogger Pants - 980 yen
- T Shirt & vest - 1,500 yen
- Sash belt from - 1,900 yen set-up
Total: 4,380 yen
As I mentioned, unlike UNIQLO, Shimamura has many up-to-date items. Shirts with embroidery were the trend last year and Shimamura has a lot of those items too.
Because the shirt looks gorgeous and girly with the embroidery, any simple bottoms would do the work. The brown wide pants came with the sash belt so I didn’t use the sash belt from the first coordination.
- Collar shirt with embroidery - 700 yen
- Wide pants with a sash belt - 1,900 yen
- Vest from 1,500 yen T shirt & vest set
Total: 4,100 yen
Shimamura has a lot of “last in store” items so it is very fun to explore and find your favorite style of clothings. Also, they have a lot of accessories including earrings, glasses, and hats. Bags and shoes are also available. You can make different coordination at Shimamura and keep your budget at a low price!
