Thanks to the Y2K trend, this style of layering is all the rage! But for me, skirt + pants it’s not a fade bond to be dated. It evokes the FRUiTS style which have us fascinated since we j-fashionistas found it 20 years ago by internet.
I started to wear a little John Cook olive with white print dress + light blue jeans way back in 2022. I don't have photos but its one of my fav outfits so I'll document it sooner or later. This year (2024) I had so much fun with layering and adventuring beyond that dress incorporing different skirts.
Below you have a compilation of all the outfits from FRUiTS magazine that I could find with the skirt/dress+pants combo. Click on the arrow!

My Outfits
What I'm wearing? Rundown of the outfits
- Outfit 1: Ignore the silly edit haha. This one is from 2023 spring.
- I arranged my hair in half twin braids and as jewelry I'm using a tattoo choker for 00s nostalgia points with a triskelion I made myself.
- Then I layered an old net top with my thrifted hello kitty baby-tee. Originally it was an actual kid's t-shirt, but I cropped it and cut the sleeves.
- From the same place I thrifted the HK top, I found my fav low rise boot cut jeans: the light blue ones. I layered a tartan punk skirt gifted from an older girl into the scene. An alternative harajuku wanna be outfit needs platforms, right? So I'm wearing these thrifted platform sneakers, Frankenstein shoes as my bestie calls them.
- Outfit 2: From september 2024, for going to uni.
- Pink sunglases for deco points and mismatched earrings.
- This year I grew found of layering oversized t-shirts with white classic blouses. The Dr Slump t-shirt was a gift from my sweetheart.
- The jean skirt (which reminds me to jojifuku) and the oxford pants are both thrifted. I'm wearing my now deceased but well worn sneakers.
- And the bag, my god, how I love that bag! another gift from a random lady. A Tommy Hilfiger jean and tartan shoulder bag that is my ace to introduce interesting patterns to any outfit.
- Outfit 3: From August 2028, another for going to uni and drinking beer later. Captured with a SONY DSC-W310
- I'm very proud of this outfit and definitely would repeat. Even if it's so simple compared to your average FRUiTS look, the inspiration is heavy.
- Again colored sunglasses (although with a more 00s shape) and mismatched earrings for these sweet deco points.
- And again I'm layering this white blouse from my school days with a band tee, a gift from my bestie and very dearly to me, as the stamp is from Anesthesia by Fun People, one of my fav albums since forever. The best of Argentinian hardcore. The knock-off white and blue Adidas jacket is a gift from my bestie too, and another homage to FRUiTS looks.
- The tartan bag and the black oxfords are at it again, they are my personal staples. This time I'm layering with more tartan, another trifted skirt. My shoes are thrifted too: althought the heels and platforms are so tall, they are comfortable.
- Overall one of my fav looks of the year.
