Focus on the silhouettes and colors of what they're wearing, touch lightly on materials used.

I know that Murakami uses the method of actually describing the colour, brand and rough date of clothing. This is something that might be very difficult to pull off though, as it might distract from the narrative in the way that it suddenly anchors elements of it into reality, for me however, this worked the other way around.

For example, in 1Q84 (if I am not mistaken though, has been like three years since I read it) Murakami describes Aomame as wearing a green Comme des Garçons skirt suit (dating from the 70's, but that's based on that that's the era the novel is set). This made me look up a picture of one of those skirt suits, and for me it made the entire world of 1Q84 that much more believable, because it had some anchor to reality.

However, beware of constantly namedropping brand, if might come across as obnoxiously trying to show off knowledge, something that did start to bother me with Murakami in general.

see: Pattern Recognition, William Gibson

in case anyone wanted to know, the Chinese text on the bottom reads:

"a very perfect combination, a real harmonious tradition (whatever that means), no need to say any more, this is the perfect Valentines symphony."

Just say that they're usually dressed in raf simons and rick owens

this unless you want to be a snowflake for the sake of style

Depends on the style of your prose. You could go crazy detailed down to brand / year/ season like American Psycho. Or just keep it general like "dark-washed jeans", "a suit several sizes too large", "a stained and soiled tank top"

Op what do you know about erratas you mother fucker

>noise rock made out of riot grrl and punk samples
This sounds like a cool idea tbqh

>>11451786
i dont get it

>>11452021
the idea i think is that all these random things from the past like 10 years were found to be connected because they all mentioned the same similar word

also, true story, if you make a thread asking about it on /x/ (or even related subjects like jurassic park) you'll get banned

We're not on /x/ so we're probably safe.

But I'll test it out:
Erratas
Eratas
Hawaii
Jurassic Park
KFC Murder Chicks
Fnord

Let's see what happens.
