“2024 was the year I embraced a smaller, decluttered wardrobe and became more experimental,” Minori Iwahashi, 26, told me. “My style has always been a mix of tomboy, sporty, and girly, never been confined to one aesthetic or colour. But I will admit that l’d buy into trends. This year, I expanded my style by incorporating layering and rotating a few bags that are cute but also functional.”
