I figured it was because her thighs would touch otherwise, she (and I even tho its painful to admit) has thighs that are either flabby or really narrow set hips and stands that way so people don't notice.

but idk maybe I'm projecting, I'm a little taller than she is (175 cm) and around about the same shape and my thighs touch (though new exercise routine will hopefully get them up to par!)

I'm not liking the empire waists on you, they're not very flattering. Then again, I don't really like them on anyone. Also are you quite tall? The last one especially looks like it was made for a much shorter girl.

[Anonymous No.7912668]

>>7912666
I think the problem is less with empire waist, more with elastic waist. Sadly, since most JFashion is one size, that's a problem a lot of girls will encounter. It just pinches in a weird area or sometimes ends up looking kind of square.

[Anonymous No.7912669]

>>7912668
Yeah, I think it's a combination of the two that are making it unflattering. That's not to say she looks terrible, she still looks a million times better than the shitty outfits I see in real life.

Legwear is a big weak point in my wardrobe.
I tend to go for ankle socks because it gets hot over here, and tights are hit and miss size-wise. I have been trying to pick up some new pieces here and there!

[Anonymous No.7912858]

>>7912834
Hey! I'm >>7911992. The outfits aren't balanced because of the lack of headwear and legwear. If it gets too hot I would invest on some cute sandals and definitely something with a heel higher than 2 inches.

>outfit 1
Probably the best out of all of them. The red pin and red shoes draw your focus towards the entire outfit instead of just focusing on the printed skirt. This looks fine without any type of legwear

>outfit 2
I'm not a fan of those bodyline tea parties on you, and they look really awkward when worn without socks. They are much too sweet for the look you're going for and they do not do your legs any justice. I would suggest something with heels in a light brown/beige color and sheer tights

>outfit 3, 4, 5
The ankle socks and the sweet cream socks are both doing the same effect: they're cutting off your outfit abruptly.

>outfit 6
I like this one because of the solid colored tights.

If you wore your outfits like >>7911572 and >>7911578, you would look so much more balanced. If you want to wear flatter shoes go with solid colored skirts. I hope this makes sense lol

[Anonymous No.7912873]

>>7912858
Another thing I noticed. If it gets too hot try wearing camisoles and a bolero instead of the long sleeved blouses. The long sleeve+short skirt+bare legs might be adding to why it's so unbalanced.

>cute sandals and definitely something with a heel higher than 2 inches
Agreed.
I've been trying to keep an eye out, but I've had no luck finding something that's comfortable and in the right style. The shops around me have had slim pickings (unless you want gladiator sandals) or stuff online has been risky because of my foot-size.

>The outfits aren't balanced because of the lack of headwear and legwear.
I totally agree.
I wore all of those outfits to uni, so that's why I avoided excess headwear/legwear. But these outfit shots were all taken prior to May, so I've bought and added a few more things into my coords since then.

>outfit 1
Yeah, I like the red in this as well.
I've stopped wearing those shoes though, because they're pretty rubbish irl.

>outfit 2
Those shoes are actually from Taobao, but I think Bodyline sells them now. I used them a lot in the past because they're so damn comfy, but I've bought some cute Melissa flats and beige t-strap heels since then

>outfit 3,4,5
I love ankle socks because they're great for warmer weather, but I see what you mean about them cutting me off. I have bought some more since then, but they were the semi transparent ones. I think they work a bit better because you can still see skin through them.
As for the sweet cream house socks, I haven't worn them since! They felt so awkward and short, but I've since discovered that ETC and JM make god-tier length socks.

>>7912873
Camisoles with skirts are super cute, but my weird torso doesn't always work with them. I'll try to keep an eye out though!

Tbh I really didn't own any short sleeved blouses or boleros back then, but I've since bought some Amavel, ETC, and offbrand ones to fix this.

Thanks for the concrit, anon.

Quietly going to selfpost a casual day outfit.
My wardrobe is really minimal right now and I'm trying to acquire more pieces.

Does anyone have any examples/recommendations/tips for winter fashion?

[Anonymous No.7913082]

>>7913061
That looks pretty awful, anon. The layers make you look fat because they are placed around your hips. Also, the black shirt (blouse?) and the white skirt look really messy. I'd tuck in the shirt and change the skirt to one with a different colour, because the current colour scheme doesn't fit this outfit at all and makes everything look kind of bland and cheap. Also the zettai ryouiki looks messy, maybe use fake OTK tights or sock glue?

As for winter clothes, invest in cardigans and skirts in different colours. Jumpers with peter pan colours are also great. Try to stick to winter-y colours, for example dark red, navy, old pink, dark brown and black, depending on what fits your skin tone. Checked skirts are good staples too, if you like them. For tights, black always works, but if you want to try something new you could get some dark grey or dark red ones.

[Anonymous No.7913088]

>>7913082
Thanks for the winter color advice!

The black is actually attached to the white blouse. It's a weird ruffle underlayer. I think maybe would look better with pants, now that you say.

>>7913061
I don't think your weight is a big factor here (and I think you look good at that weight anyway). The main problem I see with this is that you've tried to make a jfashion outfit of non-jfashion pieces. There's not really much you can do about that than buy the appropriate colours.

Another problem, like the other anon said, is that the layers are sitting at your hips. You're pear shaped, and that's just going to emphasise them. Try a skirt you can wear at your waist and tuck a blouse into, preferably a brighter coloured blouse and a darker coloured skirt. Play with the colours to trick the eye with your proportions, darker colours on the bottom and brighter or lighter on top will make your hips look smaller and draw attention to your top half.

That jacket also doesn't work with your shape, again, it hits at your hips. Try something cropped or something longer for a more flattering length.

Also the colours, are detracting away too IMO. Black and white don't seem very jfashion to me either. Your colouring from what I can see seems like you'd suit pastel shades, which I think would help

This anon has good advice.

Can we ask how tall you are? I think for basics some F21 or H&M pieces could work if you're average height (skirts might be too long if you're like 5'2"ish and under). I mean, F21 and H&M already basically either rip off taobao looking things or straight up buy from the same manufacturers and label their stuff one size up. For the eye-catching pieces Liz Lisa, Axes Femme, Ank Rouge, ETC have already been mentioned. Milk, milklim, galaxxxy, are a little funkier and really affordable secondhand if you can find them.

For winter, thick tights, short boots, and sweaters are what I usually go with. Aside from the brands already mentioned eBay and taobao are stuffed with cute sweaters. Searching "korean sweater" in eBay will get you cute but "softer" looking sweaters, whereas Japanese tends to bring up brighter ones.

[Anonymous No.7913503]

>>7913489

Personally I mostly use clothing from chain stores, especially H&M. I live in Norway and we have the worst selection of brands, and I'm too big to fit into most j-fashion clothing besides lolita with shirring, so there isn't really that many choices. Casual j-fashion is pretty easy to find in normal stores, because it's supposed to be more casual and wearable than a lot of other styles. And there isn't really any rules.

Study your favorite styles and find out what's similar between them. Is it oversized, pastel colored sweaters and short skirts with lace? Darker colored vintage looking dresses and skirts with prints? Layerable clothing in brown/beige colors? You kind of get an eye for it after a while.

I prefer otome style-ish fashion, so I try to avoid too modern looking clothing. Find a cute shirt/blouse, pair with a dress or skirt with a cute print. I personally try to avoid soft jersey fabric for dresses and skirts, because I think they look too modern for this type of style, or don't fall into the body in a way that feels otome-ish (idk how to explain it). Wear cute tights or overknee socks. Style your hair. Use vintage looking jewelry and bags. Add a hat or/and bowtie.

Pic related is entirely chain store clothing.

Casual j-fashion is my favorite because I can usually find something that works with it at every store! I know this outfit isn't perfect. The skirt should be lighter and the socks are kind of harsh, but my main point is that I just feel cuter and happier when I try to dress this way. Also the mirror is on my roommate's side so I couldn't clean.

You should leave your cardigan unbuttoned. It's made of really thick material so you end up looking bulky, it also squashes your skirt down.

Whenever I'm buying cardigans I just look up 21Men used ones on ebay, they're baggy/comfy and thinner knits which seems to be the trend in jfashion anyway.

The advice for pears in regular fashion applies just as well for alt fashions: emphasize and accessorize your top half, downplay your bottom half, with more form-fitting tops and looser material on the bottom. So basically
+Tight tops
+Crop tops
+Chunky necklaces like those bats or crosses or whatever
+Chokers
+Longer skirts
+Bright top w/ black bottom half
+Head/hair accessories
+Creepers
and
-Printed tights/leggings
-Thigh highs/garters
-Baggy sweaters
-Short skirts
-Knee high boots
If the fashion is defined for you by the skeleton tights and oversized sweater look though, you'll probably need to look elsewhere.

Your friend's right, but that's also bc a majority of the blokes around Tokyo are business people.

Make nice-looking adjustments to your clothes. Fit is important, so take stock of your wardrobe and make sure you've got a good fit going with what you do have. Swap out athletic sneakers for comfortable boots, dress shoes, or oxfords.

Polos seem kind of boring but you haven't mentioned anything about having a personal style or look that you like so just make sure these aren't shabby looking or worn out.

Similarly shaped girl here (75 cm waist, 89 cm hips).
If the sweater is thin enough I tuck it into the skirt waistband and wear the skirt at my natural waist.
Otherwise, I personally prefer cardigans on skirt outfits because I can leave them loose, which I find is usually more flattering, especially on skirts that sit at my natural waist. My baggier sweaters are reserved for cute leggings/shorts/jeans.

What makes an outfit jfashion?

Can just a baggy sweater and a skirt be considered jfashion like in >>7911543?

It seems to cover such a wide range of looks, so how do you discern when something is not jfashion like with >>7917721 apparently

[Anonymous No.7917924]

>>7917889
Generally being coordinated and flattering. There are a lot more comfortable/loose fitting aspects that looks cute on small Japanese girls but kind of frumpy on large or curvy western girls. The jean shorts on >>7917889 are not very flattering and the red tights are very loud and draw attention to thick, shorter legs.

In general I guess the hallmarks are:
>Tights/socks
>Feminine
>Flattering
>Loose sweaters and cardigans
>Looks
>Simple hats or accessories
>Normal hair color wigs are considered normal
fashion accessories
>Well coordinated colors


This is obviously very general but a lot carries over into things like otome, gyaru and even more extreme styles like decora and fairy kei.

[Anonymous No.7917946]

>>7917889
Jfashion is an umbrella term for all Japanese street fashions, such as seifuku, gyaru, fairy/cult party/mori/whatever kei, himekaji, otome, lolita, etc.

OP's photo is a casual himekaji outfit. You can tell because it's got the cute princess-like aesthetic of himekaji and is styled in a very gyaru/himekaji-appropriate way.
The other example is simply a girl in jean shorts, a t-shirt, and tights. The shirt and jeans are unfitted and too plain to work in any Jfashion.
For example, if she had chosen a cutsew with a cute motif and pumpkin pants with tights instead, it would have been casual himekaji or gyaru instead, because those items all are within the aesthic of gyaru and himekaji.

>>7917721
First! Clean up your room, second wear shoes when you want people to weigh in on your outfit. Second! put some more effort into your outfits- accessorizing and coordinating is important and shows that you do care about how you look. More effort and thought = more cohesive and more flattering looks.

It's currently very western, rather than having any of the charm or cohesion of a jfash outfit. Also, you can lose weight but tbh I'm guessing you do try and live a healthy lifestyle and no matter what size you're at you want to look cute and present your best self. Back when I lived in Tokyo I'd see as many chubby girls who are well dressed (or at least interestingly dressed) as thin ones. So to me that's not the main problem. You just need to up the difficulty of your outfits if that makes any sense?

And, though not necessarily jfash- solid tights work best with skirts and dresses imho, try fake thigh highs and tattoo tights with shorts. Finally- wear that sweater with leggings or pants tbh, maybe a cute skirt poking out from under, but I'd need to think about it more... don't pull it down all the way as neatly maybe. like don't wrinkle the shit out of it, but try a more relaxed/less straightened out look. Cheers anon, thanks for being brave enough to share.

The top results that pop up for me when googling "japanese fashion" are all from 2012, oddly. The wiki article about it lists most of the known fashions (minus good pictures sadly) but I think you'd need to get into specific blogs when you start thin slicing all the subfashions for gyaru and the like.

we should make one and sticky it

[Anonymous No.7918356]

>>7918340
I don't know if a mod would add it to the sticky, but it'd probably be helpful for reference anyway!

Does anyone want to start a list of the subcategories?

How do you guys feel about chubby girls in casual jfash? I love it, and I'm currently workong on losing weight, but even when I'm healthy/fit I'm a tad bit.. thicker? than most girls. It's really hard to imagine chubbier girls in casual jfash, so I was wondering if you guys had thoughts on it?

I have really wide hips, and this if that makes a difference. I'm so shy about it, but I really really love short skirts and thigh highs.

anyone have TB links to this dress? cant find any

As long as you dress nicely and smartly what does it matter? Skinny or fat, you still have to wear clothes after all. Just don't wear things that are too small for you etc. Then you're fair game. I've seen chubby girls, or girls with wide hips, or big chests, or other quirks pull of jfash or jfash inspired looks well. It's all about knowing your body and putting real thought into it- and chances are unless you have body image issues the size of Texas, you'll know what does and doesn't look good on you.

lmfao, no harm no foul man

Thanks anon. I'm just afraid I'll be disappointed since I won't quite fit the jfash aesthetic as closely as I'd like.

But you're totally right. Who gives a fuck as long as I dress nice?

You're awesome! Thanks again for the confidence boost!

These are so cute oh my god.

[Anonymous No.7918468]

>>7918385
That was seriously helpful. I was confused by a couple of the subfashions but that cleared everything up! Thanks

Anyone have examples of casual mori?

[Anonymous No.7918506]

>>7918452
No prob anon, and best of luck! and about not fitting the aesthetic, lbr for all fashions including western fashions the general aesthetic is aimed at a skinny teen/twenty something. Doesn't mean that you won't look good in it. Keep your head high bro

These are cute as fuck!
I just wish I could find this kind of thing in a darker tone - maybe one day, I too can do the bjd look

Mori's pretty casual already, but look up soulberry for outfits that are suited to lounging about.

[Anonymous No.7918629]

I just wanna say I love this thread and wish we had more casual jfash threads than the millions of lolita threads that dominate here.

Buy Liz Lisa's cropped sweaters and any blouses that end at the waist or can be tucked in. I got a few of their cropped sweaters last sale and I'm regretting not buying more.
