Experimental styles

[Anonymous No.6876671]

Hey /cgl/

Have any of you tried experimenting with a new style? Launching your own kind of style perhaps?

I am personally in love with the whole Vintage Russian aesthetic and want to incorporate it into my wardrobe. I do Casual Classic and Mori Lolita along with 1940s through 1960s, so I think it'd fit very well somewhere in the middle.

Matryoshkas are my inspiration, of course.

bump :3

[Anonymous No.6876994]

Idk, I guess I'm currently trying to dress more girly, yet still with an edge?

[Anonymous No.6876997]

That might be a pretty neat print, especially the colors, if done right.

You don't need to bump here, it's slow.

[Anonymous No.6877006]

So you're going for a folk-inspired look?

[Anonymous No.6877019]

>>6877006
Kind of, but I'd like to make it more adult, which could mean it'd look a lot like traditional Russian clothes mixed with a Fairy Tale aesthetic. Tea and ankle-length skirts, capes, hair covering accessories, etc.

Very much like what Ulyana Sergeenko designs.

[Anonymous No.6877033]

Wouldn't that kinda be like dollykei?

[Anonymous No.6877037]

Joining in on this because its everything i want for my day to day style.

[Anonymous No.6877075]

>>6877033
In my opinion, dolly kei is far too eccentric and doll-esque for the kind of style I want to pull off.
I mean, the fit I'm posting right now looks great, simple, clean lines and even the fur hat is perfect for the look.
I guess it depends how far you want to take the look. I do high heels and nipped waist dresses, which dolly kei doesn't seem to incorporate a lot.

[Anonymous No.6877083]

I want to start wearing tea-length dresses, but I can only seem to find ones I like on Taobao.

[Anonymous No.6877095]

>>6877083
There are a lot of midi dresses and maxi skirts in shops lately so have a look and you're bound to find something. The alternative is thrift shops so just keep your eyes out.

Once autumn/winter hits I'm sure you're bound to find something too.

Let's make up our own /cgl/-style. We can make guidelines and all, and then we will all wear and spread the style.

[Anonymous No.6877110]

>>6877104
Can we create a casual uniform style?
I love all things blouses, bows, sailor collars, cardigans/sweaters, and pleated/plaid skirts

[Anonymous No.6877118]

>>6877110
We can call it seagull kei. Some kind of marine/sailor style, mixed with something else. We should make it a /cgl/-project.

[Anonymous No.6877119]

>>6877104
Ok, let's have some fun then. First, we must decide on a theme/general feel.
Since everyone mentions midi and maxi skirts, looking for a European feel...
Shall we go with the 1940's/proper lady sort of look?

[Anonymous No.6877122]

>>6877104

I like this idea. Let's.

[Anonymous No.6877128]

>>6877104
Can we make sure it works in both hot and cold weather? I'm live in a cooler climate and I'm almost always cold in most styles.

[Anonymous No.6877130]

>>6877122
Maybe we should make a new thread? So that we don't hijack OP's thread.

/cgl/ projects are universally terrible.

Good thinking. Apologies, OP.

You can go ahead and do it in this thread, love it when a thread gets going with brand new ideas!

Well, it sounds good to me.

[Anonymous No.6877148]

I guess we should decide on a name. We have already gotten 'seagull kei/style'. I see something marine/sailor inspired for that name?

[Anonymous No.6877160]

>>6877148
I don't think that the marine/sailor theme seems to be predominant here, the majority of the anons posting are looking for a european/russian girly traditional sort of mix.
Why don't we leave the name for last after deciding its particularities?

[Anonymous No.6877171]

>>6877160
This.

What's going to be the niche or statement element of this fashion anyways?

[Anonymous No.6877172]

What kind of things do /cgl/ like?
Do we like a more mature, natural style or pastel, kawaii style? Maybe a mix of both?

[Anonymous No.6877182]

>>6877172
I think we can go for both.
I mean, pastels can be very mature, as long as you don't go for various shades of pink.

[Anonymous No.6877185]

>>6877160
That's why we should maybe make a new thread? I don't really see that kind of style that OP is posting as a /cgl/ style. So that we have one thread for OP's style and one where we can discuss whatever type of style we want.

[Anonymous No.6877187]

>6877172
>1940's/proper lady sort of look
>kawaii
No. There is no way this cannot not fail.

[Anonymous No.6877194]

>>6877182
Pastels really do need some sort of neutral like nude, light tan, some shades of grey or white to make them look more mature rather than 'kawaii'. Especially colours like mint and lavender.

[Anonymous No.6877197]

>>6877187
Look at >>6877182 's pic and tell me you cannot imagine it.

[Anonymous No.6877200]

>>6877194
Yep, sounds good. So... pastels with neutrals then?

[Anonymous No.6877208]

>>6877200
Yep. Are we having prints, or are we more focussed on textures?

[Anonymous No.6877214]

I usually dress in the himekaji style but lately I've been really interested in cult party. I've been collecting a lot of pieces and making coords but I've yet to wear them out. I think I'm going to wait until Fall so I can do a bit more research. That and all those layers in the summer heat can be really unforgiving.

[Anonymous No.6877221]

>>6877148
I think something otome inspired with marine/sailor themes would be cute for a seagull style.

[Anonymous No.6877232]

>>6877208
We can have both!
When it comes to textiles, I guess we shouldn't stray too far away from the general preference of seagulls.
For summer, I say chiffon and lightweight fabrics. We can also have knits, of course, for windier weather.
Also, what's your opinion on tweed, guys?

And any suggestions for prints?
Can have both nautical and girly?

[Anonymous No.6877267]

>girly
we can always have dem bird-inspired patterns, stripes, corals and flowers......fish too!

[Anonymous No.6877268]

I'm surprised that nautical themes are being presented for /cgk/-kei (or whatever) because I haven't seen a large presence of these themes here unless in specific threads. Maybe it's because a lot of people here like sailor collar styled pieces, like in seifukus?

[Anonymous No.6877280]

Fuck no, that's a recipe for failure.

Did you really think we could have coherent or creative ideas?

[Anonymous No.6877282]

>>6877268
The style that has been discussed so far doesn't really seem like /cgl/ style. I would suggest that someone make a new thread, and then they can discuss their own 'proper lady' style here.

[Anonymous No.6877293]

>>6877282
Sounds good. I think that this kawaii seagull style that you guys are wanting to create sounds a lot like himekaji.

[Anonymous No.6877294]

Color of the shoes and the coat aside, this Miu Miu outfit is the kind of outerwear shape I'm going for (OP here).

I'd imagine it in earthy neutral colors with maybe a pop of color on the bow.

[Anonymous No.6877295]

>>6877293

Holy fuck, sauce on that skirt? The watermark at the bottom is too small for me to make out.

[Anonymous No.6877298]

>>6877293
Oh, forgot to mention, the pic is NOT himekaji.

[Anonymous No.6877303]

Why don't you try inverse Google search?

[Anonymous No.6877304]

This dress has a very interesting shape to it and retains the poofy, feminine feel while bringing something new to the table. Now, if it were longer, that's what I'd like to see going for an original style.

[Anonymous No.6877309]

>>6877304
If it were longer and that puffy, wouldn't it be Lolita?

[Anonymous No.6877310]

>>6877303

I'm on a phone, I don't think I can do that on a phone.

[Anonymous No.6877314]

>>6877304
Coats with that shape are pretty in where I live right now.

[Anonymous No.6877329]

>>6877309
It would, but I think it'd retain that kind of maturity that comes from solid color or lightly patterned garments.

Here's another coat I really like, there's something unique about pompoms that I simply cannot explain...

Ok, so far I found out that it is from Rakuten but it is hard... they have hundreds of skirts... feel free to browse for a skirt(google the kanji) and try to find it once you're on a computer.

whenever summer rolls around my appreciation for dark blue comes back... sashiko and fishermen stuff, scales, with some teal/seafoam colors in there.
in general i like fallout/wasteland/survivalist type clothes as loose dresses mixed with forest themes and bits. somewhat like a rough mori/natural kei. clothes that look like someone who lives in a forest makes them. in summer i just get kind of ocean fixated but not related to sailor stuff.
experimenting wise, i'm thinking about making some lolita-ish dresses related with the things mentioned above.

Op, the only reason I have this suggestion for you is I too, am a rusophile and want to incorporate that in my fashion.

BTSSB's Porz Kerchief JSK, although German themed, has a Russian (or any slavic I guess) village girl's dress aesthetic to it!
