Though I didn't attend a private or religious school myself, I had plenty of friends who did and the consensus was always the same: everyone hated the uniform. It seems ironic then that an ensemble so loathed has become in vogue for young adults. The Soe Tokyo Spring 2010 collection is rich with school boy charm, featuring an array of slim cut blazers, striped vests and dress shorts.
The Soe Tokyo Spring 2010 collection also offers some more casual alternatives such as a cut-off jean jacket and short sleeve collared shirts. This line is perfect for those who want to live their freshman year all over again.
