We’ve touched on K-Fashion from famous K-dramas to K-pop artists—today we’re talking about anime! So tap into your inner weeb with these 10 ultra-chic outfits inspired by anime characters.

Most anime characters are usually stuck with just one main outfit but not Killua. The middle child of the Zoldyck family is often seen with an array of streetwear pieces. While he does experiment with hints of colour every now and then, he’s most commonly seen in black and white.

Howl was (and still is) every girl’s first 2D crush, so naturally, we had to include him in this list. The vain wizard is obsessed with maintaining his beautiful image, using charms and potions to upkeep his good looks. As for his outfits, the Studio Ghibli anime character likes to dress just as flamboyantly as his extravagant personality. His signature style mostly consists of any type of statement outerwear, frilly blouses, and argyle prints.

This could just be the nostalgia speaking, but Kakashi Hatake walked so Gojo Satoru could run. Seriously, why are all the white-haired characters the most powerful and attractive? Kakashi is rarely donning anything apart from his shinobi uniform. To reinterpret his look, simply throw on an army green utility vest over your black sweatshirt ensemble and you’re good to go!

Eren has come a long way from his passionate and naive self in season one to the cold-blooded killer he is in season four. But then again, dedicating yourself to ridding the world of titans and saving humanity is bound to take a toll eventually. His loss of innocence is most notable with a long hairstyle and dark-coloured outfits.

His retro blue suit is a classic that will never go out of style. Plus, it’s incredibly easy to recreate with your basic wardrobe staples.

In this anime-inspired outfit, we’ve decided to experiment more with the concept of Shinobu’s character. Known as the Insect Hashira, she’s typically associated with butterflies and the colour purple. Throw on a butterfly-printed shirt in place of her butterfly kimono for a more modern, everyday look. We’ve also replaced her Demon Slayers Corps uniform with these patchwork jeans to give her an outfit an even bolder twist.
