A Japanese clothing brand called Graniph are releasing a new range of Pokemon clothing starting April 27th. The items range in style from the subtle to the obvious, and many of them are available in both adult and children’s sizes.
Pokemon are not an uncommon theme for clothes not just in Japan, but globally - at least for children. But that doesn’t stop new brands from continuing to collaborate with the media giant, designing new clothing to satisfy every Pokémon fan’s wardrobe needs. And Japanese brands tend to create fashionable designs!
Graniph is a brand known for its graphic t-shirts. There will be 22 items released in the Pokemon collection in total. Most of them are t-shirts which will come in both child and adult sizes, and there will also be a few button-up shirts and dresses. This way, dedicated fans and Pokemon trainers of all kinds can show off their dedication to the series in their own way. There are so many kinds of people from various walks of life like Pokémon, Graniph did their best to make something for everyone.
Many of the designs are more subtle, and only noticeable upon closer inspection. These include shirts like a white one with Pikachu and Eevee peeking out of the pocket and a gradient blue shirt with water-type Pokemon on each layer of color. Others, however, leave no one wondering whether you’re a big Pokemon fan. For instance, one navy shirt has a big, shiny image of legendaries Ho-Oh and Lugia battling in the sky and a mint green shirt features a huge Alolan Ponyta.
While button-up shirts and dresses aren’t meant for formal occasions and shouldn’t be purchased for your next job interview, they are more fashionable than t-shirts. There’s a black button-up shirt mosaic of Arbok and Ekans, and a black dress featuring several Mimikyu along its stripes. Graniph has combined comfort and fun with fashion for Pokemon fans. Most of the items in Graniph’s adult line run about ¥3500 to ¥6500 ($27 to $50) so while not cheap, they won’t break the bank and are average prices for character clothes in Japan. The children’s sizes are a little cheaper, but mostly only available in t-shirts. The whole Pokémon range will be available both in physical stores in Japan and online. Will you be able to catch them all?
