This characteristic is a recurring trend with the Japanese, ignited with the need and want of originality in whatever they wear.
The combinations in layering came in 3 patterns: polo on polo. polo on shirts. polo on long sleeve t-shirts.
And these patterns broke down into many other patterns such as floral printed shirts under polo's, polo on t-shirts with hoods, bordered polo's on polo, and the list goes on.
Stores displayed their polo's and skippers layered which evidently helped boost sales of not only polo's but shirts as casual shirts are named as being the 2nd best selling item by many.
A few store carried polo shirts that had double collars that look as though worn layered but is actually a normal polo. Japan's fashion market as the polo trend exemplifies, is a market that is stimulated by stores and the brands, but by individual consumers simultaneously.
This as a result makes each trend very dynamic and thereby making Japan's fashion scene one of the most focused market these days.
