In reality it's mostly just a silly AU!!

Designs of the trio under the cut! It's very simple

Hi there!

YESSSS!

I have!  It’s a set by REDYAZEL, one of KEIKO’s favourite brands. A handful of her outfits are from them. Here’s my TWEET with all the details.

Hi there!

I am so sorry, I will admit that I never looked for that. For the most part, Hikaru buys her clothes at random shops from no-name brands which makes it incredibly hard for me to find her stuff. While Keiko and Wakana favour certain popular, pricey and recognisable brands Hikaru seems to have no such preference. She certainly has a specific style but that's usually not tied down to one brand or one store. As a matter of fact, many of the items she wears are so "basic" that you can get them in literally every other store (like the pullover with the sleeve stripe which she has been wearing recently in two different colours - grey, navy).

Having said all that, I know more today than I did back then when Hikaru first wore this outfit. She has mentioned in one of her little Q&As that she likes to shop at ZARA occasionally (Wakana and Keiko do too btw) and by now I have bought enough ZARA clothes to know that they have a very distinctive style and that top literally screams ZARA to me.

*runs off to do some quick research*

❗ JACKPOT ❗

I am pretty sure it IS in fact from ZARA. Obviously, it’s been years so the original item is no longer available and I can’t link you to the product page. No idea what it was called back then. However, I found a few listings on the second-hand online store Poshmark (e.g. this one here - sold out) and for me there is no doubt that THIS IS THE TOP. Be sure to browse your preferred second-hand stores for ZARA cream coloured cropped tops with shoulder buttons. Try different variations of these search terms and you might get lucky. Since ZARA is a Western fast fashion retailer that has stores all across the world you have very high chances of finding something.

Her striped pants are probably from ZARA too. I remember back then I even found a pair from ZARA that kinda matched hers but since I also found pretty much the same pants from a few other brands, I wasn’t 100% sure and didn’t feel comfortable posting my discovery. I don’t wanna mislead people into buying something that’s actually not the item they have worn.
