Editor’s note: Evakona Education is our international language school in Whitianga. Each week, one of the students will write a piece on his/her life or what the student perceives about our NZ life. Most of the students are Japanese and they are preparing for attending a college somewhere in the North Island – some at Mercury Bay Area School. Be sure to reach out and welcome and include these students when you see them. The best thing is become a homestay for a student. Life gets better!

Fashion trends are always changing, and as students, we are often interested in styles from around the world as well as expressing our own personalities. Recently, several unique items have become popular among students, especially in Evakona. These items are a combination of Japanese and NZ fashion sense, creating a unique style. Let’s take a look at some of these trendy fashion items.
Leisure Club Hoodie
This hoodie is comfortable and stylish, which makes it awesome. I see this hoodie everywhere in NZ when I walk around town, as many young Kiwi people wear them. The Leisure Club Hoodie has Japanese characters on the back, which I think is a charm. That’s why many Kiwi people and Evakona’s students wear the Leisure Club Hoodie.
High Heels and Thick-Soled Shoes
Some people may wonder why someone would wear high heels and thick-soled shoes. The reason is that they can increase height, which is helpful for Japanese people, as many are shorter than Kiwis. Many Japanese people feel they need to be taller, and that’s why Evakona’s students wear high heels and thick-soled shoes.
White Fluffy Coats
When it’s freezing, everyone wants to wear something warm. That’s when you need a white fluffy coat. They not only provide warmth but also add style. Which is why Evakona’s students wear them.
In conclusion, the fashion trends prevalent among us today are not just about looking good but about adopting styles that express who we are while making us feel confident and comfortable. Whether it’s the trendy Leisure Club Hoodie full of charm, the height-enhancing high heels and thick-soled shoes, or the cozy and stylish white fluffy coat, these items show how fashion can be fun while reflecting our individuality. It will be exciting to see how these trends continue to evolve and shape our everyday style.
