damn.

hypothetically if a guys wants to wear or get into this fashion. Would he have to wear a wig or make up? What are the rules?

>>10031043
the rules are the same for men as for women.

you do not need to wear a wig, but your hair must look good with your coord. most men keep their hair too short or unstyled and it looks bad.

makeup is not necessary, but a clean face is. maintain good hygeine and grooming. you will look better with at least minimal makeup, though. a bit of BB cream can help smooth out imperfections and provide some moisture.

Ouji's Armoire on tumblr and Buttcape's Ouji Guide on Blogspot have good rundowns of rules for ouji, so read and reread em

>>10045183
that is what the ouji in the photo labelled it: "menhera shiro ouji". i used a screenshot so the original Japanese caption would be demonstrated. i am no menhera expert, but the look does seem to me to be different from what oujis in Japan usually wear for makeup. perhaps it is meant to combine the styles

it seems ouji is entering OTT sweet mode. Buttcape attributes the design shift to Chinese consumer influence, but i think it is just an overdue evolution of ouji, as it finally breaks from the standard of "butler-kei" to move closer to what is happening in lolita fashion.

Is boy style actually for men, or is it basically a crossplay genre of cgl?

>>10045848
your answers are in the first post, newfriend.

>>10045848
i skimmed the thread to confirm that there have been discussions of men in ouji in this general already. if you cannot read a gen this short (69 replies, many of which are just images), or search to see if your topic has been covered, 4chan may not be the right place for you.

>>10045848
every single ouji is a woman crossplaying a male character.

>pic related, the lolita is in an alternative fashion but the ouji is actually a crossplay of an NPC from a mobile dating sim

>>10046007
another lolita with a crossplayer. this woman was so dedicated, she picked a character whose outfit would match the lolita's clothes, and for realism, she applied each facial hair individually!

>>10046011
lolitas don't mind their partners showing up to fashion events in crossplay, as long they match. this is why oujis are called "accessories." women have to pick a male character who will complement a lolita's personal style

>>10046018
of course, it's easier for asian boystylers to pass as men, because asians are naturally more androgynous.

I noticed that ouji has mostly long sleeves for every jacket and blouse. Is it possible to wear short sleeves and not make it look like a blouse meant for lolita? Please dump your pics if you have any good examples

>>10045345
It's weird to me because so many people consider the roland a dream item, while it is perhaps the most toned down, traditionally masculine piece in the fashion. While more on the OTT side, people also consider things like captain hollow, napoleon, versailles and crimson jack to be AatP's peak, while they go on to release fewer and fewer things in that style. Maybe the asian market is eating it up, in comparison?

I find it difficult (and imagine it impossible for the average person) to look at most OTT lolita and see something.. wearable. While the material in
>>10045343 leaves a bit to be desired, it at least looks like a functional outfit, inspired by but distinct from vkei.

>>10046007
>>10046011

These are nice examples of what people imagine when an ouji accessory is mentioned - and if they could be considered accessories, it is undeniable that they fit in and match the aesthetic of lolita.

>>10025634
These things for example strike me as distinctly ouji,

>>10027079
>>10045344
While these bear very little resemblance. These look a lot like a lolita coord with pants.. and I think there is a difference between lolita with pants, and ouji. As an exercise you can look through CoF or wherever, cover up the top half, and then the bottom half of a coord, 'rate' each individually, and then as a whole. The top and bottom of most outfits rarely seem to play well with each other, because people are mixing things like rolands with shorts and OTKs and while we consider both of those ouji, the bisection looks like two completely different styles are being propped one on top of the other.

because people spread misinformation over a decade ago, and nobody corrected them loudly enough.

"aristocrat" is only really used by Moitie.

"ouji" is what most people call boystyle lolita. and "boystyle" is a phrase used by entities such as KERA to describe the masculine counterpart to any particular fashion. it got traction in the West in order to refer to "ouji and aristocrat" a few years ago.

for many designers, ouji is simply lolita with pants. especially feminine ouji styles and also i think especially for taobao brands. for Japanese designers, ouji is often an afterthought for lolita. not much energy or creativity goes into the design.

AatP is trying some very experimental silhouettes for ouji, maybe because the fashion in general is nebulously defined and even they, as the most popular ouji brand maybe, do not have a clear vision for it.

when i look at a KERA spread like this, which features many casual-er ways to wear ouji, it seems like there is a lot of untapped potential to the style that most designers ignore. so fashion editors and oujis themselves have to compensate and figure out the possibilities and limits of the fashion on their own. or else stick with the very practical but boring "default" of "lolita, but not as girly, with pants and other plausibly masculine clothing items." i.e., no headbows or bonnets.

>>10046712
furthering the status of ouji as a bastard child of Harajuku fashion, a genderless half-sibling if lolita, a lot of Japanese people who wear "ouji" just call it "lolita". "Here is my lolita coord today," they say, and it is a standard ouji look.

even this KERA spread throws some stuff together and calls it a "lolita school boy look," not ouji. but i have seen coords that look like this tagged by the Japanese person wearing it as ouji. and offbrand ouji coords on sites like wear.jp tend to follow the basic structure of pants or shorts, a button down, and another layer on the torso (a vest, jacket, or cardigan).

please forgive my disorganized thoughts. i am on my way out the door. i share your frustration about ouji as a fashion orphan, and it has driven me to obsession.

>>10046722
>genderless half-sibling if lolita
*of not if

>>10046712
there used to be a big fuss over people combining the ouji and aristo threads as though they were different enough so as to require separation.. but the aristo threads were even more dead than the ouji threads, and have now been assimilated into the boystyle thread. i'm still not sure if aristo is an ouji substyle or if ouji and aristo are very distinct boystyle.. styes.


Early lolita in general is full of creativity and experimentation. I think I recall someone on LJ proclaiming themselves an authority on lolita, and pulling a list of rules out of their ass, and for some reason it caught on. I'm sure original lolitas would look at those rules we now follow and spit on them.

Casual lolita and ouji is really interesting, because half the community will swear that any casual lolita coord is not lolita at all, probably citing one of those rules a westerner made up on LJ a decade after lolita became a thing. The death of punk is pretty unfortunate, since it most often broke the established rules with creative offbrand and unconventional silhouettes. It doesn't feel like there is much driving the fashion forward except for the taobao brands that are mostly producing shonen protagonist and sherlock holmes outfits, which, while cool in their own right, are pretty difficult to build a daily wardrobe out of.

>>10046722
>>10046722
I am very tired and not thinking properly, but I had a recent discussion that is sort of relevant to how the japanese do not necessarily distinguish lolita from ouji. I love and hate ouji with equal intensity, and this annoyance has plagued me for several ages, and I have grown old with the deep existential sorrow in my heart of not knowing exactly what to tag my photos as besides "not-kodona".

When a lolita brand makes tshirts, sweaters and pajamas, it is sort of accepted that these are novelties, not to be worn with lolita, but to show your support of the brand or something in normie wear. This seems silly to me, when the brand is clearly making more clothes to be worn with their other clothes. Meta makes a pair of pink shorts, you wear them with a blouse, socks and shoes all from Meta. Meta is a lolita brand, and everything you are wearing constitutes a lolita coordinate except for the pants. This does not suddenly make it a different genre altogether, it is lolita. If you posted it to CoF however, the community would be at odds arguing over why it was not lolita, that it was ouji, or that it was neither.

This is sort of why I feel like ouji should stay on the masculine end of the spectrum, because it's mostly just lolita with pants and I think lolita with pants should just be lolita. By heading back into the cutesy prince end of the spectrum, the more similar it is to frilly lolita, the less of an individual identity it has, it becomes less its own thing. That might be exactly where it needs to go, and should have been all this time to begin with, and maybe the masculine/mature look can live on as aristocrat or something. The dozen active ouji in the world should make a vote. Personally, the less interchangeable lolita and ouji clothing is, to me, the better.

>>10046756
While I sympathize with you, and generally prefer the more masculine side of ouji myself, I don't really understand or agree with your desire to create such a dramatic distinction between ouji and lolita. From the very beginning, ouji was always the "boystyle" version of lolita. They're like sibling fashions, so I think it's reasonable that there would be some overlap or gray area between the two. If we were to eliminate all of the "lolita" elements and pieces from the definition of what is considered ouji, I think we'd be left with a very limited and rigid style, with a tiny number of brands rarely producing pieces, which would be nearly indistinguishable from western historical fashion. Maybe that's not exactly what you're suggesting, in which case I apologize for misrepresenting your argument, but to me the variety of styles and mix of masculine and feminine elements in ouji is a positive thing. It gives us flexibility and more pieces to work with, and it's not like you have to wear the more feminine or sweet elements if you don't want to.

Despite the stricter "rules" laid out for lolita (mostly in the west), there's still a good amount of variety within the style. For example, a cute OTT sweet coord will look quite different from a mature gothic coord (which could even feature the "traditionally masculine" Roland mentioned in >>10046385). I think what you're proposing would be similar to lolitas saying that only the most OTT sweet coordinates should truly be considered lolita, because all other styles are not frilly and feminine enough. It really cuts down on what you can do within the style.

>>10046756
Why can't people just wear what they like, the way the like it? If someone likes cute ouji good, if someone wears mature ouji still good. Who cares! You don't necessarily need to find a term that 100% perfectly describes your style. And a style doesn't need to be 100% definite and precise (I think it isn't even possible!). I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm just sorry that it's so complicated for you and that you are kind of feeling bad over something that I personally find quite simple.

>>10047065
That being said, I do understand the frustration that comes comes with your preferred style falling out of favor and not getting many new releases. I like the more masculine stuff too. But unfortunately narrowing the definition of ouji to be just that and nothing else won't change that. All we can really do for now is scour second hand sales for pieces we like, share photos of our coords/support others with similar sensibilities and hope our style catches on, and of course throw money at brands on the occasion they do release stuff we like. Trends come and go, and if we're lucky, it'll come back around eventually.

>>10046731
>>10046756
>not sure if aristo is an ouji substyle
>the masculine/mature look can live on as >aristocrat

In Japan, aristocrat is definitely not a substyle of ouji. I kind of think of it as a cousin to the sibling relationship that ouji and lolita have. There are similarities/overlap, but not quite much. The styling is a lot more gothic, it generally has a pretty flowy look, makeup is dark around the eyes to contrast with the rest of the face, and visual kei hair is pretty common. I feel like I'm not doing the best job of describing it, but if you just look at a picture of Mana and compare it to any ouji, the differences should become apparent. Since they are so distinct in styling under this definition, it would be a little odd to transfer more mature variations of ouji to be under this label.

In the west, aristocrat is what you call your ouji coord when you're worried about being perceived as cute or girl-y, so I guess if we stick with this definition, it could work.

>people are mixing things like rolands with >shorts and OTKs
Just out of curiosity, do you think Rolands should never be worn with short pants and OTKs? Or did you just mean shorts of a certain length?

Oh dear, I made a bad sleep deprivation rant again..

I was trying to be silly with how extreme I described my anguish and confusion. I think that all the labels and categorization are an obnoxious nightmare, and that it's all just lolita. My frustration is when anything too casual or too mature is called out as not-lolita, because the over complicated system of categorization exists and is accepted. Maybe it is only a loud minority having not-lolita arguments though. I mean, shit, as far as I'm concerned otome is just casual lolita. Google otome and tell me that 9/10 of the top results aren't just lolita without a petti, and then tell me where lolitas in 1999 decreed that the fashion required a petticoat.

I've found that we treat 'pirate' and 'military' and 'vampire' ouji for example as their own substyles, when they are just themes. We have sweet, gothic, and classic ouji the same way lolita does. Pirate and vampire ouji are as much a substyle as pirate and vampire lolita - they generally fall under gothic, maybe classic.. but hell, you could do a creative sweet vampire if you wanted to.


The only real issue that I have with the sweet and mature ouji coords being under the same label is that I end up in an ocean of cutesy boys clothing when I search for items or coords in tags. If it were common use to tag gothic_ouji or aristouji or something, would slightly improve quality of life. Maybe it'll catch on like kodona if we just force the meme.

>>10047128
Oh look it's ciel

>>10047065
>I think what you're proposing would be similar to lolitas saying that only the most OTT sweet coordinates should truly be considered lolita

I think it is all lolita. Ouji is just lolita with pants. If you look at goth fashion, they don't have a different word for what the men wear and what the women wear, for example, that would be silly. I think I am in an argument with myself over whether or not the ouji term justifies its own existence, should be abolished or try to branch off from lolita.

>>10047089
>do you think Rolands should never be worn with short pants and OTKs? Or did you just mean shorts of a certain length?
I have worn them together, and I have seen them worn well, but the silhouette can be hard to balance. I think that the length and boxy fit of almost all brand-bottoms are the issue; they aren't something you can easily tailor to your body and most people wouldn't dare anyways.

Pic related is in my nonspo folder for proportions.. maybe, on a slim female frame, one of two of these might work. I find similar issues with many ouji coords that use unflattering combinations of long jackets and short pants/shorts, causing the legs especially to look extremely short. If you look at any guide to short-mens fashion (and most ouji are short women wearing mens fashion, so.. similar enough) ouji ticks off a lot of the "do not" boxes. These guys extend their torsos with untucked shorts making them look like they have dwarf legs, along with giant disproportionate clown shoes compared to what's going on up top.

agreed. use #classicouji or #gothicouji if you like. i would advise against #aristouji because that would shift the jargon even further from its Japanese roots and increase rather than decrease label confusion.

lolita is still lolita whether it be Fanny Rosie or Lovely Lor. ouji is still ouji even when it is mature! though, perhaps "mature ouji" would not be a bad tag.

Yeah, but not having any logo on your beret is equally as bad as having too much stuff on your beret.

>>10051694
it flows much nicer from top to bottom, i think the black sweater, red shorts, bare knees and black socks create really unflattering horizontal colour blocks that break up the body and make everything seem shorter and chunkier instead of long and sleek

>>10054161
thanks for breaking that down, gull, it is helpful

>>10025409
could someone make the doc/drive links in the OP accessible to non google users? thank you

>>10056231
are you able to host them on another platform if someone does?

>>10052366
NARYT If someone gets a plain beret would a pin or something solve the problem? Or it is a matter of quality associated with a logo?

>>10059405
plain berets are awesome because you can dress them up with different pins, brooches, etc. each time you wear them

new AatP boots are amazing

>>10061266
so is their spiderweb applique set but it is only offered in 1 size. and after Halloween for some reason

>>10061266
Stiletto heels look so trashy in ouji, I wish we could get some decent military boots but these are not them..

Stop appropriating my gender, you fucking whores.

I will rape you

This is literally just as bad as blackface.

Stop appropriating my gender

hey folks, im looking to get into ouji fashion but kinda struggling to build a wardrobe (I'm having a hard time finding brand stuff and im nervous about ordering stuff in case it doesnt fit me) I was thinking of making some of my own pieces and if you have any refs of people who wear hand made ouji? I know handmade lolita is a thing but I havent seen handmade ouji before. Many thanks!

>>10061266
These just remind me of Leg Avenue slutty pirate costume boots Halloween stores have had for years.

>>10025423
Madame/ Madam has always been the term for ‘femme aristo’ and you can find it in the older Bibles referenced this way. The much-smaller style just fell out of general favor as something distinct so that name kind of got forgotten I guess? I think it’s a lovely and elegant style and I’m glad Mana is paying it some attention.

>>10062895
@elisabeth_and_yoru, @sorgevinter, and @nicolasdaiglere on instagram

>>10062938
Is that the name for it? I've always only ever seen it lumped into Aristo. I'm glad there's going to be more mature looks. I think I'll just keep calling it Aristo though. I'll adopt Madame when it becomes more prominent and well known, I think.

>>10062979
I like the instagram links, but what's Greg's instagram?

>>10031379

>>10063186
call it EGM now. waiting does no one any good.

KERA also featured him!: http://kerastyle.jp/snap/25830

>>10061266
The design is great. It's only the thin heels that are stopping me from buying them. If they were thicker or if the bottoms were like the bottoms of platform shoes, these would be a 10/10

Just the other day I laughed at the OG MmM tophat (fashion show pic) at ClosetChild Shinjuku, but compared to the new one I cant tell which one is worse. Spider one is my fave though, pic related. I think there's a version with blue spider as well, or if I'm confusing it with the rose vine (?) top hat

>>10071914
The rose one for comparison and for those not knowledgeable about MmM's gloriously tacky hat history

>>10071867
Does it even come with the blue rose?

>>10074303
No...it’s not attached to the hat.

Anyone got any classic-style ouji co ords to share ? Been looking around but it's quite niche

>>10071914
i need it.

>>10074405
classic ouji is very popular. what sort of style of classic seems rare to you? i will post a few coords across a range of classic ouji.

Ok Edward scissor pants

anyone oujis make a 2018 wardrobe post?

>>10078467

I would, but I just started, so it's basically empty.

yo who's got some ouji timelines?

there are not many people making casual ouji-related items. this was posted by @princetteparty on insta, available soon on Etsy. not my taste, in art nor in general aesthetic, but here it is.

>>10083480
he looks even better now, imo.

Hey I've seen a lot of shorts n trousers but has anyone done a kilt styling with ouji??
Would love to see someones take on a bonnie prince charlie themed coord

>>10084155
He always looked great though.
One of the few males in this fashion that truly cares about making good coords and doesn't give any creeper/sissy/fetishist vibes (for me at least).

>>10084153
this smells like a self post for your shitty art.

>>10084155
Dang, that shirts sleeves make my heart go doki doki.

Imagine the look on Janny's fucking face. Don't worry babe, I've got a Starbucks on every fuckin block in my city. I can do this for years before you ban all my IPs. Or you can ban my entire city. I don't give a fuck.

>>10075857
Oh dang, this is bakasoseji right? Does he still post stuff?

Elegy Clothing has updated their Erised ouji set for 1/28. the vest looks so much better.

>>10087383
i don't remember ever seeing that. please do it.

>>10087413
your nose needs to be recalibrated.

>>10087515

hey i've been researching this style for a while know but I'm nervous about buying anything since i'm a pear shape rather than slim up and down like you see on most ouji models. Any tips on what would work/look best??

h.Naoto has gothic tights called The Gentleman's Shadow that feature dandy skeletons: https://hnaoto.shop/hn/gosstyle/201901/0111-goth/bfj22-g018-bk-gy-f.html

>>10088004
salopettes may be a good fit for you, they are usually roomy around the hips and thighs. they give everyone a pair shape.

>pic related

also, layers of alternating lengths may be good.

>>10088022
Pear shape anon here, those are really cute! I haven't been able to find any quality salopettes around, do you know what brand the ones in the photo are??

>>10088022
but even tighter pants can be flattering if they are intended for your measurements, imo. western brands often have body types other than "slim asian" in mind when they design

>>10088028
those look like AatP, they tend to make a lot of salos. or they might be Boz, but theirs are usually not as roomy.

>>10088030
ah thank you, I'll see what I can find!

>>10088028
hi pear anon, I've actually owned these and depending on your proportions they can be really hard to coord because they're really wide at the bottom, and if you have narrow shoulders, you need a lot of bulk on top to balance them out. I'd advise you to get a shorter pair of pumpkin pants, or a less extreme silhouette.

>>10088105
Hello pear anon here again, thanks for the advice!
Do you think a set like this could work? I'm thinking of pairing it up with a cape (and changing out the white bow around the neck of the blouse for a black one to add some contrast) Would I need to wear some sort of waistcoat? Those seem to be in a lot of coords I've seen

>>10088473
Waistcoats or jackets are really popular and a good way to break up your top half. You probably do need either one or three other to add visual interest if you've not got salopette straps going on. You'll be able to tell once you try it on and if it looks a bit empty up top. I've actually just ordered a blouse from that set

>>10088485
I hadn't really thought of accessories just yet, this is my first time buying something like this and it's a little mind boggling at how much you have to think about.
The set is so cute, im super bummed out that the top layer coat sold out already

>tfw you will never pose as well as @byakuya_a

should i kms or take up yoga

>>10087669
their mens cut is also not only bigger and longer than their womens cut, it is shaped for a more masculine body.

>>10088921
>tfw I look older than that and I'm 28
how do I reverse age?

>>10088970
moisturizer and beauty filters

anyone got any more circus/clown themed ouji coords? I'm looking for some inspo and am gunna dump the ones I have to liven up the thread a little

>>10090258

>>10090259
(sorry for the poor image quality, this is pretty much the only image I could find of this set)

>>10090260

i have some

>>10092278

>>10092280

>>10092283

>>10092286
sweet zombie clown?

>>10092288
mini hats, napoleon jackets with epaulettes, and diamond motifs (including on the face) are good ways to "drum up" a circus coord, i think.

>>10092290
this is a vampire coord, but it could easily become a ringmaster coord. black top hats and red jackets with gold trim are iconic for circuses.

>>10092292

>>10092293

>>10092297
this is all, hope you enjoy

>>10092299
i lied, this is the last one, so we can see the hat of >>10090260 in a coord

Any good pirate coords that don't look like cosplay?

>>10092303
those tights are very unfortunate.

>#例えばこんな皇子コーデ
if you feel brave, use this hashtag on Twitter to demonstrate your style of ouji. it started to show people who are interested in the style what different ouji styles look like. upload a few of your coords and maybe make some Japanese ouji friends. or follow the tag to see what Japanese ouji say about their styles.

>>10092303
Oh these are all so good thank you anon!

>>10093080
forgot to mention I've got this hat coming in the mail, hoping I can put together some sort of coord with it! Thats why I was asking for some more clown/circus inspo

>>10093047
this might be connected to pic related, since the same user who started the tag is promoting this event.

i also want to share that they called it "dresscord" because that is some wild english-to-japanese-to-english language evolution

>>10093898
more promo art for the event

>>10093083
cool, if you want any more feedback check back in with us!

also, if you look at #dangerousnude tags on social media, they are often used in pierrot-like coords. they carry kikirarashoten items which are outrageous and used in KERA for a lot of OTT spreads.

outfits already posted that feature DN/kikirarashoten:

>>10090258
>>10092280
>>10092288
>>10092299

if any of that inspires you, hit up Twitter and Instagram for more

>>10093955
also the kanji tag for kikirarashoten is:
>#危機裸裸商店

>>10093955
>>10093959
gosh I cannot believe I haven't heard of these before!
Kikirarashoten's pants are so dreamy I wish I could get my hands on a pair

And I will check in on you guys for sure, this is gunna be my first proper ouji coord I'm putting together so when I actually get my things together I'll be sure to post here for feed back!

>>10093959
>kirakirashoten
I didn't know about them, what a wonderful discovery. I hate almost all of it, and absolutely love the rest. It reminds me of ozz on or meta, in that way.

I see some shoddy construction on some pieces, but the quality of fabric, lace and trim.. this is what I've wished from aatp for ages. The details are stunning and the closer you look the more beautiful you can see that it is, the opposite of aatp which looks nice from a distance but falls apart on closer inspection.

Does anyone own this f+f set? I've been eyeing it up for a while but the price is pretty low so I'm concerned about the quality.

>>10094076
I was thinking the same about aatp, if only they could push the boat out a little further with fabric quality and details they could make some really stunning pieces. Sometime you can tell they're already pushing their limits but seem to just hold themselves back from making something really amazing.
I guess this is what you get for designing around a very specific style of clothing.

>>10092966
no, to be honest.

>>10094084
no, but the elastic hem of the shorts makes them look like bloomers.

>>10096356
I don't plan on getting those shorts actually, after looking at them for a while and deciding the same thing. I'll probably just wear some knee-length shorts with it.

anyone have any tips/guides on altering a lolita dress into an ouji outfit?

>>10096356
they literally are bloomers.

>>10096448
I wouldn't get it. F+F can look ok in pictures, but every time I have been disappointed. The construction is usually really nice, but the materials are cheesy.

Buttcape's wardrobe post has good, clear photos of her ouji items: https://www.stephano.me/buttcape/blog/wardrobe-post-2019?fbclid=IwAR25KoGWrM20PjMz9Ub1iHpefAy0nTAnxMU0JYSwwyhadEqfRHE4c3Col-k

>>10097335
no, but Gravelvet has a YouTube channel where some altered dresses are featured. i have never watched the videos, so i do not know how helpful they are, but i have seen the final products on instagram.

>>10101675
yeah i watched those videos, he just talks about someone else tailoring them into shorts for him but I cannot find the person he talks about anywhere.
I Wouldnt mind forking over some cash to someone competent to do it but would feel weird just giving something to a normie seamstress to alter

>>10101728
damn that's unfortunate

i wish there was a tag for this, i know people do dress-to-pants alterations for ouji with some regularity but finding them is difficult.

>>10101728
You could ask grayvelvet? they are nice and would likely answer.

>>10027080
five colorways, mens size available, detachable buttcape, and SATISFACTION GUARANTEED: https://babyssb.shop/category/select/cid/521

>>10102209
Same here, it would be cool to see more before and after shots of altered dresses or skirts into pants n shorts.
I've also been talking to a friend about how brands should just start making more print shorts n pants I think they would be really cute (obvs in some cuter cuts but this is just a quick sketch lol)

>>10102349
poofy pants gathered at or below the knee would be cool.

i will make a new thread since the image limit has been reached. are there any new resources to add that anybody knows of?
