Nanchatte Seifuku Thread

[Anonymous No.8466382]

It has been a bit since the last thread so let's start a new one up. Some of the age old questions to start off, I suppose.

>What is your favorite style? Are you more kogal or do you fall more along the general preppy route?
> Leg wear? Do you prefer tights, thigh highs, knee length?
> What's better: loafers or will any preppy shoe style work for you?
> Your skirts: plaid or solid? Cardigan or blazer?
> Any certain hairstyles you fall on when you're wearing it?
> Where do you wear it? Is it your uni. wear, con only, daily...?
> And where are your favorite places to shop? Obviously there is bodyline, ebay, thrifting...but do you also wait until things pop up on y!jp auctions to get more authentic things?

>What is your favorite style? Are you more kogal or do you fall more along the general preppy route?
General preppy. I wear general cutesy stuff, not exactly jfashion (more c/k) but it probably falls under general preppy.
> Leg wear? Do you prefer tights, thigh highs, knee length?
OTKs for the win. Second is tights.
> What's better: loafers or will any preppy shoe style work for you?
Cute shoes. Not tea parties, but similar to old school BTSSB heart buckle shoes.
> Your skirts: plaid or solid? Cardigan or blazer?
Plaid and cardigan usually, but I'll never turn down a fitted blazer.
> Any certain hairstyles you fall on when you're wearing it?
Just down. My hair reaches below hips, so that's a statement in itself.
> Where do you wear it? Is it your uni. wear, con only, daily...?
It's normal for me at this point. So I suppose daily?
> And where are your favorite places to shop? Obviously there is bodyline, ebay, thrifting...but do you also wait until things pop up on y!jp auctions to get more authentic things?
Taobao is my main thing, but I go to Conomi for all their bows. Mostly mainstream stores in China sell this style for cheap.

> Pic is similar to what my nanchatte inspiration is.

[Anonymous No.8467456]

Hey! I've wanted to get into this style for quite a while, but my source of inspiration is very scarce yet. OP's pic is my favourite type, cutesy with lots of pink and yellow.
I appreciate help and tips, any light you can give me!

>What is your favorite style? Are you more kogal or do you fall more along the general preppy route?
I like the general preppy more, with a softer colour palette.
> Leg wear? Do you prefer tights, thigh highs, knee length?
Tights, they look more put-together.
> What's better: loafers or will any preppy shoe style work for you?
I like loafers a lot. Mary Janes with low heels get my attention a lot.
> Your skirts: plaid or solid? Cardigan or blazer?
I like both plaid and solid skirts. But cardigans always have my preference.
> Any certain hairstyles you fall on when you're wearing it?
I'd wear it with a short bob wig. Or my actual hair when it gets longer, I have curly curls.
> Where do you wear it? Is it your uni. wear, con only, daily...?
I intend on making it a daily wear.

Pic related to my general intention of looks.

[Anonymous No.8468059]

How do you coordinate your outfits? Does your tie match your skirt, or does it contrast? Is everything just based on "what looks good together" personal taste, or are there actual rules? I'm actually not a huge fan of overly-matchy sets, but I'm also not very confident in my ability to pair colors.

I'm in the process of putting together a hypothetical outfit around a forest-green plaid skirt, but it's going very slowly because I keep second-guessing myself.

[Anonymous No.8469041]

>>8468059
I personally think you can do better than pick the palette of the plaid and work around it. Forest green looks great with shades of ochre and reddish browns. So maybe the shoes and accents like that, and the bow in the same shade of green as the skirt.

I'm looking specifically for a really traditional japanese look in uniforms. I almost want a gothic look. I guess sort of Yukiko from Persona 4, Enma Ai/Hell Girl, Gogo Yubari, etc. where the plainness kind of speaks for itself. Pic related. Some of us want to be dark nanchatte demons.

>What is your favorite style? Are you more kogal or do you fall more along the general preppy route? "Preppy" side.
I'm trying to go for a very reserved, traditional japanese style now.
> Leg wear? Do you prefer tights, thigh highs, knee length?
Thigh highs are life. I use knee length usually only because they tend to be more readily available. Same to tights, but I do like certain tight patterns a lot.
> What's better: loafers or will any preppy shoe style work for you?
I just really like loafers. I enjoy heels a lot, but I'm not sure if it works for a Nanchatte look all the time.
> Your skirts: plaid or solid? Cardigan or blazer? Actually, I've been looking into houndstooth, if anyone can recommend me something like that. I prefer solid otherwise. Cardigan and blazers are both great. I think I prefer cardigans, though.
> Any certain hairstyles you fall on when you're wearing it?
Straight, long black hair with bangs with a headband as an accessory if I use it.
> Where do you wear it? Is it your uni. wear, con only, daily...?
I want to wear it as normal clothing.
> And where are your favorite places to shop? Obviously there is bodyline, ebay, thrifting...but do you also wait until things pop up on y!jp auctions to get more authentic things? I'm just now starting. I honestly don't know where to buy. I can tell you as a lolita I was never fond of Bodyline's quality, so I don't intend to look there.

I'd love authentic, if anyone knows how/where to get those. I'm also personally wanting to find some actual Nanchatte Japanese brands. Does anyone have a list of them maybe? I was hoping there might be something like that since I know there's stores popping up for them everywhere.

[Anonymous No.8471902]

>>8471895
Oops. Fucked up some of my greentext.

Just wanted to post this here since I thought it as cute and it reminded me of how important length is. What do you all personally prefer for skirt length?

I know traditional can be a bit longer, even below the knees, but I tend to like my skirts on the short side.

[Anonymous No.8472118]

>>8471902
I prefer short skirt length personally. The whole cardigan-swamping-skirt look is really cute to me.

[Anonymous No.8472349]

I really like mid-thigh skirts with more fitted tops. The comfy oversized look is cute, but I'm not very curvy so good fitting is the best I can get.

Does anyone know of Japanese magazines that cover this subject?

[Anonymous No.8474283]

>>8471902
I want to wear my skirt like a mini but since my butt is much too big for that, I go mid thigh. Luckily, I can still achieve the oversized look with that length.

[Anonymous No.8474368]

>>8471902
I like wearing a skirt about mid-thigh length, since I like the look of short skirts with a baggy cardigan, but am too nervous to wear a butt short skirt around.

[Anonymous No.8474383]

>What is your favorite style? Are you more kogal or do you fall more along the general preppy route?
I like the general preppy style, with a baggy cardigan, tie/ribbon around a white dress shirt, a short skirt and long socks.

> Leg wear? Do you prefer tights, thigh highs, knee length?
Thigh highs for sure! I'll wear tights when it's cold or otk socks if it's super warm.

> What's better: loafers or will any preppy shoe style work for you?
I like wearing mary janes with a small heel, or my low cut Converse for a casual everyday look.

> Your skirts: plaid or solid? Cardigan or blazer?
I have both plaid and solid skirts. I much prefer a baggy cardigan, since it feels really comfy.

> Any certain hairstyles you fall on when you're wearing it?
I just wear my hair down, or tie the top half of my hair up to keep it out of my eyes.

> Where do you wear it? Is it your uni. wear, con only, daily...?
I wear it every day.

> And where are your favorite places to shop? Obviously there is bodyline, ebay, thrifting...but do you also wait until things pop up on y!jp auctions to get more authentic things?

I like buying from Taobao for bows and tights or socks. Bodyline has been my go-to for skirts, but I've been browsing Y!Japan auctions lately to try and nab a winter skirt. For cardigans, I find the local thrift shop has tons.

>>What is your favorite style? Are you more kogal or do you fall more along the general preppy route?
General preppy!
>> Leg wear? Do you prefer tights, thigh highs, knee length?
Tights, I love thigh highs but something about them to me seems too seductive about them?
>> What's better: loafers or will any preppy shoe style work for you?
Mary janes, followed by Oxfords. Depends if I want a bit of heel, or if I'm going to be doing a lot of walking around that day.
>> Your skirts: plaid or solid? Cardigan or blazer?
Both & cardigans. Can't find a blazer that doesn't look too business to me.
>> Any certain hairstyles you fall on when you're wearing it?
High ponytail, pigtails, bun.
>> Where do you wear it? Is it your uni. wear, con only, daily...?
Daily wear. It mashes with my otome wear so it doesn't look too out of place or unexpected!
>> And where are your favorite places to shop?
Bodyline & thrift, I never had much success with eBay or Taobao. I also buy some of my uniform stuff like knitted vests and cardis from the uniform shop local to me.

Just getting a taobao order with some stuff to put together atm ;u; really excited to put a few outfits together for general outings


>What is your favorite style? Are you more kogal or do you fall more along the general preppy route?
I like the preppy look
> Leg wear? Do you prefer tights, thigh highs, knee length?
I have some thigh highs but generally prefer tights.
> What's better: loafers or will any preppy shoe style work for you?
I have some mary janes and some brogues to work with
> Your skirts: plaid or solid? Cardigan or blazer?
Either way for skirts, I have a couple of cardigans and blazers, in school though I usually wore both during cold days.
> Any certain hairstyles you fall on when you're wearing it?
messy buns/twin buns
> Where do you wear it? Is it your uni. wear, con only, daily...?
hoping for just occasions, like shopping with friends, running errands or stuff like that
> And where are your favorite places to shop? Obviously there is bodyline, ebay, thrifting...but do you also wait until things pop up on y!jp auctions to get more authentic things?
So far taobao has been really good to me, got some super cute stuff and a longer skirt i'm really interested in (6ft tall so i'm afraid short skirts might just show off all the things) and I could also work it into my planned mori outfit for halloween.
Maybe when I have saved up I will buy from Japan... currently saving to go there on holiday so maybe I can go to some physical stores too '3'

Are there any examples out there of Westerners pulling off this style? It's super cute but I'm afraid of looking too childish :(

[Anonymous No.8477839]

I wish there was a way to do this as a guy and not look completely cosplay

[Anonymous No.8477857]

>What is your favorite style? Are you more kogal or do you fall more along the general preppy route?
More preppy I guess
> Leg wear? Do you prefer tights, thigh highs, knee length?
Thigh highs and tights.
> What's better: loafers or will any preppy shoe style work for you?
I certainly do like loafers. I really like oxfords with a heel. I have also worn moto boots and converse type sneakers.
> Your skirts: plaid or solid? Cardigan or blazer?
I love both plaids and solids! I have some navy suiting sitting around I'm going to make a skirt out of. It's actually for a cosplay but it'll double up as a casual skirt just fine. And I'd love to get some more plaids in unusual colours (like pink, turquoise, and purple, or interesting mixes of colour). Blazers look nice but cardigans are sooo comfy. I also like vests and v-neck sweaters.
> Any certain hairstyles you fall on when you're wearing it?
I do like twintails but I feel like the combo of schoolgirl skirt and that looks a bit too much. I usually stick to a big sock bun, half up half down or just loose, and I put bows, small flowers or headbands in my hair. Sometimes I braid it but I'm terrible at braids...
> Where do you wear it? Is it your uni. wear, con only, daily...?
It's everyday wear for me, but I don't wear it daily, if that makes sense? I wear it to school, to hang out with friends, on errands...
> And where are your favorite places to shop? Obviously there is bodyline, ebay, thrifting...but do you also wait until things pop up on y!jp auctions to get more authentic things?
I thrifted most of my stuff except for a black seifuku from aliexpress. I'd also liked to make a few things, and I'm considering getting some skirts from Bodyline when I have more spare funds.

[Anonymous No.8478015]

>>8477839
You mean to crossdress as a girl or to dress in a male version? Because you can pull off a preppy look without looking like you're cosplaying as a guy just fine. Wear a loose cardigan over a polo or dress shirt with a tie and some nice dress pants. It'll look totally normal.

[Anonymous No.8479282]

>What is your favorite style? Are you more kogal or do you fall more along the general preppy route?
I like traditional seifuku best of all, aside from that I like general preppy stuff, since I like longer skirts.

> Leg wear? Do you prefer tights, thigh highs, knee length?
Tights or kneesocks, I feel like OTKs and thighhighs can quickly diverge into sexy schoolgirl look if you're not careful

> What's better: loafers or will any preppy shoe style work for you?
I really like flat maryjanes, but I'm super picky with loafers. They have to be just so.

> Your skirts: plaid or solid? Cardigan or blazer?
Depends on my mood, but typically solids with cardigans.

> Any certain hairstyles you fall on when you're wearing it?
I have a pixie cut, so I just wear a cute matching hairband.

> Where do you wear it? Is it your uni. wear, con only, daily...?
Cons for lazy days, and sometimes just out and about.

> And where are your favorite places to shop? Bodyline for my ultraweeb seifuku, aside from that I go to French Toast and Kohl's for genuine uniforms.

I'm more into the preppy style. However, I like to go comfortable with the long skirts, boots, etc.
> Leg wear? Do you prefer tights, thigh highs, knee length?
Mock thigh highs and knee high socks are top tier for me.
> What's better: loafers or will any preppy shoe style work for you?
Any preppy shoe style. I like to wear flats sometimes as well that match the type of legwear I use.
> Your skirts: plaid or solid? Cardigan or blazer?
Plaid skirts, solid cardigan.
> Any certain hairstyles you fall on when you're wearing it?
Either ponytail or little pigtail on the side of my head with my hair down. Something like that.
> Where do you wear it? Is it your uni. wear, con only, daily...?
Daily wear.
> And where are your favorite places to shop? Obviously there is bodyline, ebay, thrifting...but do you also wait until things pop up on y!jp auctions to get more authentic things?

[Anonymous No.8480365]

>>8478039
If your legs are thin, then it could be nice. Similar to empire waist dresses in lolita, a floaty type of dress (or outfit in this case) combined with thin legs or flattering legwear looks very nice. Hard to pull off, but nice.

Probably generally preppy. I like it to be preppy but mature, so I can wear it to jobs/internships/gradschool and still look professional
> Leg wear? Do you prefer tights, thigh highs, knee length?
Knee length, tights, or baggy bunched up short socks
> What's better: loafers or will any preppy shoe style work for you?
I have some nonslip steve madden laceup shoes that I love. Or some cute girly boots.
> Your skirts: plaid or solid? Cardigan or blazer?
Mostly solid for skirts. Cardigans as of now but I'm in the market for a cute blazer once it starts getting cold
> Any certain hairstyles you fall on when you're wearing it?
Half up, pigtail braids, frenchbraid bangs
> Where do you wear it? Is it your uni. wear, con only, daily...?
Pretty much anywhere. But like I said, I kind of keep it toned down.
> And where are your favorite places to shop? Obviously there is bodyline, ebay, thrifting...but do you also wait until things pop up on y!jp auctions to get more authentic things.
Haven't really bought anything online yet, mostly find lots of cute skirts and shoes in thrift stores, and get cardigans and plain shirts from F21 or target.

[Anonymous No.8480449]

>>8479248
I'd suggest something like vests and waists cut at the waist. It's harder to find outside Japan, but something like pic related could be for guys with a little editing for your body type.

>>8478360
Tops are basic white collared shirts that you can find anywhere. Skirts are just pleated skirts, designs/patterns not necessary. The bowtie or normal tie and blazer/cardigan/vest is really what starts to tug it into nanchette territory. The art in >>8479282 is good inspiration.

It's always good to experiment! I'd go with a more formal shirt style, but I think browns and neutral tones still work well for you. A cardigan and a bow are the basic accessories you can develop. A nice school bag an maybe even a hat could work for you. What shoes do you have to wear with this? I think lighter socks could work a bit better too.

[Anonymous No.8480677]

>>8480248
Anon just I'm sorry but this doesn't really look like any type of outfit. You need a jacket or something to tie it together. At the minute you're just wearing a polo and a tartan skirt.

>>8480665
good points, thanks! I'm just kind of nervous about wearing a bow look because I don't' want it to come across as costumey. I need to experiment with ties probably.
I have a pretty cute bag that looks kind of like a briefcase so I could work some stuff around that. And hmmm I probably could have worn some long/thin lightblue socks under the boots to make it more girly. The boots are the only brown shoes I have rn so I should maybe focus on whites/blacks/greys since I have tons of black shoes

Even if it's hot you can do long/short button up shirt + tie/bow at least. Hell, I've done shirt + vest in 90+ degree weather once. It's not like you're usually spending a lot of time running around outside in that weather anyway.

It was a lucky find at a thrift store, but now I can't find any vests, blazers, nor cardigans to match.

I'd like to wear it with a blue sailor-style top and then a loose white cardigan, but I can't seem to find a cardigan in the right size and neck cut to fit nicely over my top, and it looks a little strange just the seifuku on its own outside of a con environment.

Public schools bruh
We technically had aircon in the library (though only like 20 people could fit in there) so they passed regulations. Apparently you just have to have running water,
Kind of hoped somebody would get seriously hurt to teach the school a lesson (though we were pretty infamous as it was... gang shit)

Thing is, I am not in typical Japanese body type so their sizes are probably out the question. 180cm/78kg guy here, not exactly /fit/ but with a bit of muscle. Sorry for irrelevant blogshit, but I am studying and working at lawyer's office (I believe that's how you call it in english?) so I have to wear smart casual all the time and lately wanted to make it a little preppy/possibly weeb, but from what I've researched, it won't be much of a difference from what I wear now.

For the time being I figured changing buttons in my navy jacket from normal to more visible, brass ones and buying a pair of men's penny loafers. Would it be of any use?

[Anonymous No.8481333]

The point of a school uniform is to kind of look like a professional outfit anyway. At least the boys ones.
Just look up western preppy fashion or dadcore stuff, nice tailoring and all that. Though if you're going for school uniform, those are unflattering and built like sacks in reality so I wouldn't recommend it. Maybe some nice sweaters and vests (woolen), uniform looking ties and keep a consistent colour scheme.

I'm going to do some nice criticism since salt isn't my thing. You don't really have any style like other anon said and you definitely don't carry yourself. Are you a classic lolita by any chance? You kind of radiate it with how toned down this is. The colors here are so muted.

Otherwise, I think you need to do a lot here. That shirt is just not seifuku looking at all, so toss it altogether. Same to that dress. Go buy yourself a Bodyline seifuku or something, some thigh high socks, and loafers. You might not be able to get the looks you want from F21 or Target. Never wear those boots in nanchatte again and toss that weird wristband. I think you need to research the style more honestly. By this pick alone, you really don't have a good grasp of the style. Honestly, maybe get bangs and do contacts, since even the hair isn't working for you.

I live in the good ol' USA and our school was air conditioned... in the new wing, which had about 10 classrooms in it. The majority of the school (including the entire second floor) wasn't, and it'd get so hot that the teachers would move us outside or take us to sit in the halls in the AC wing. I myself passed out once and I know others have as well. There'd be so many box fans the teachers couldn't have their lessons because it was too loud

And ocf the AC wing was like 50 degrees at any given time so you went from sweltering to frozen and back again every time you changed classes.

>>8481484
Anon the problem isn't your hair, it's your clothes. A pleated skirt doesn't instantly make your outfit cute or preppy. You need to color coordinate and wear OTHER preppy stuff with the skirt for that.

For example, either of the skirts you've posted in could work, but neither of the shirts really work at all for nanchatte, and neither of those pairs of shoes work either. What you have are two skirts, and not a lot else. You need to invest in some button-downs, cardigans, vests, blazers, shoes, etc. The whole point is to look like you're wearing some version of a school uniform, and you're missing the mark pretty hard.

I'll be honest with you though, I definitely think the bangs suit you. They look real cute. And you have nice legs that I'm kind of jelly of.

[Anonymous No.8481997]

>>8481484
This is actually a good start. However, steer clear of shiny fabrics. Your legs would look great with thigh-higs.

Check your local school store! Where I live, every public school is required to have a uniform, and one of our local schools have that color scheme.

Sorry if this doesn't help out a lot. I was going to link the store that sells school skirts only to find out it's a local branch only and they don't even have a website.

However, depending on where you live, the scheme can also be common (when I went to the states it was common with the Catholic schools I saw).

I try to coordinate my neckwear with my skirt or, failing that, then my cardigan/sweater or bag. With the themed bows (like the astronomy print and the petal bows) I try to have a hair accessory that matches or alternatively a brooch, keychain, bracelet etc.
I think nanchatte is pretty fun in that you can coordinate lots of different elements. I tend to wear nanchatte in winter as I like to layer up, but I'm slowly building a lighter colour scheme for summer.

I think as long at least one of the colours are right then a patterned bow will generally be fine with a tartan skirt. The girl in OPs pic has a striped bow and the same skirt that you have purchased, and it's not too noticeable because of the colour coordination. If you have a bow with lots of colours in it though, then I would wear a coordinating solid colour skirt, but that's just me playing it safe.
Honestly just have fun with it, with what you've bought you're already doing a good job.

Kogal is a bit more "sexy". It's a gyaru style, so skin is often tanned, hair bleached and curly, and a lot of bunched white socks. The baggy cardigan+mini skirt look is more kogal, while blazers+tie+longer skirt is preppy.

Use your own guidance and moderation, anon.

You can easily punk-ify the style with what you said though. Long sleeves rolled up and/or untucked, plaid skirt shortened, loosened tie or none, small accessories (necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings-hopefully not all of those listed), cute hairstyles using your own judgement, sneakers instead of loafers, interesting hoodie or blazer, normal legwear - (!) using ones like in your photo can quickly change it from quirky/tomboy cute to general tumblr style, especially if you add in too many things.

Use your judgement anon. If it feels like too much when you look in the mirror/doesn't feel like the style, it probably is/it probably isn't.

you need to re-do your outfit -- get rid of that skirt. it looks so costume-y with that cheap black lace (and looks more like those 'sexy school girl porn star outfits' from ebay) and that matching tie/ribbon/??? thing is strange and out of place. also, what is going on with your socks?? are you wearing two pairs on top of each other? since you're going kogal, go for loose socks or thigh highs. and the cardigan looks nice, maybe for a preppy look, but ultimately it's way too tight and short to be a kogal cardi. get a loose, long one.

Yes! This looks nice. As for the tan skirt, maybe a beige cardigan would go nicely if you brought some of the accent colours of the skirt out with your shoes and/or accessories, so it doesn't look all "oatmeal-ish".

Go with pink. You need a nice pop of color without being overbearing. And that yellow skirt looks good with pink.

How should the shoulders on a seifuku top fit, e.g. compared to body measurements or to a regular blouse? I really want to buy one, but all of the seifuku on Taobao and Bodyline have shoulder measurements about 5cm too big.

this is a really solid first try! I think you just need a few extra touches to push it from western preppy into nanchatte, if that makes sense. like a cute purse, nails, hair accessories etc.

your cardigan is super lovely though. I was just thinking earlier that I wish I saw more white/cream sweaters in nanchatte!

I think my only critique (and it's probably just personal preference) would be that there's a lot of black. It would help break it up if the skirt had some kind of detail along the bottom (like a stripe or something), or if you wore a different color/style of socks or shoes?

these outfits i think are just considered regular lolita. in my opinion, "nanchatte seifuku" implies at least SOME adherence to uniform rules and even if you add other elements it needs to follow those rules in order to still be nanchatte. a "nanchatte inspired" outfit would look more like pic related since it still follows the basic elements (blazer, blouse, bow, skirt, etc) but strays from the traditional colors and patterns.

tldr; in my opinion these lolita outfits arent nanchatte seifuku at all, but rather preppy/seifuku lolita. but i could be wrong

this is soooo cute! your hair is gorgeous. this is the first time I've seen a nanchatte coord without a bow and still been able to identify it as nanchatte. good work!

this is so cute! I was honestly considering getting a pink one like this off eBay. I'm hoping the quality will be decent.

like everyone else is saying, I think this is a great start. you should definitely try a pastel cardigan and a cute bow, or some cuter socks or something. I think the pieces alone could be used in good nanchatte outfits, but this whole outfit together is a little off.

Yeah, I think it's the jumper-- that's not seen in nanchatte unless it's a cute thin one under a blazer or something.

IMO I think it'd look better if you buttoned the top button and added a bow. Or a ribbon, or whatever. I just think the unbuttond thing looks too sloppy.

Your legs look really nice though. Those knees were made for kneesocks.

so general consensus is more pastel to take it out of regular school territory and get rid of the sweater? I can do that, thanks for all the advice and stuff! And thank you anon for the leg compliment

I'd personally find a nice quality ribbon in the same shade of Red or black like the stripes on the tartan, and tie it around your collar Colonel Sanders style.
