> Do you wear the fashion, or just an admirer?
I wear the fashion, just not as often as I'd like. Hoping to wear it more during Spring semester!

> Traditional or modern, seifuku or blazer?
Modern. I don't wear blazers much but to me seifuku is more costume-y so I guess blazer?

> Non-Asian brands you like
I don't have any at the moment but I did snag some stuff recently from Walmart like plaid scarves that look like traditional nanchatte ones and some 2-n-1 sweater+collared shirt tops for casual nanchatte (looks exactly like pic related).

Wear it, but not daily. I like that my university is so chill about clothing.

Modern, but sometimes old school OPs/jumpers get me aesthetically. Blazer > Seifuku unless it's a con.

Only one that I'm fond of right now is Ralph Lauren US Polo since they carry really nice fake blouse+cardigan looks.

If you're okay with ordering from Taobao, I suggest getting one there. The search-term "日本 小学生 书包" brings up a ton of randoserus, some of them starting at 100 yuan (15 dollars). My girlfriend bought a pink one from Taobao years ago for about 300 yuan (45 dollars), and the quality has been really good.

Modern, and I guess I'd say blazer, a seifuku by itself feels more like costume-ish like the other anon mentioned

I've been lurking on these threads for a while, admiring from afar, but I was recently told that I'd look cute in nanchette, and I rather wear it whilst I was in uni. I know I would like to a more sporty style, think hoodies, trainers, and sporty more than preppy.

My question is, where do I start? Do I start with a colour scheme, or just go with pieces I like and go from there? I feel like I would be safer starting off with a plain skirt and hoodie, but I also want to wear some colour as well, preferably pink. Any help you can provide would be gratefully welcomed!

[Anonymous No.9283419]

>>9283319
>more sporty than preppy
I'm doing the same thing anon, don't worry about it!
If you're just trying it out for now, go with pieces you like. No sense in spending the money if you're not sure if it's your thing or not yet.

[Anonymous No.9283641]

>>9283319
You can get two basic pieces, a pleated skirt and a blouse to start with. I recommend a navy blue skirt since they are classic and versatile with colors. If you already know you want to do light pink coords though, a grey one might be better.

I'm skeptical about Bodyline quality but a lot of anons here like it. In any case, if you're just dipping your toes, I think it's fine to get these two basics there. It's important to start with pieces that are styled for a uniform (rather than piecing together things from your closet, which were designed as streetwear).

>http://bodyline.jp/en/costume1050.html
>http://bodyline.jp/en/costume894.html

This is really all you need for a sporty style since you can bring your own hoodie, trainers, and to some extent socks (make sure they look uniform-like). Some girls wear a blazer over the hoodie to pull the look together, but I don't think it's necessary.

What kind of bag do you plan to pair with your seifuku?

[Anonymous No.9283662]

Challenge... school bags with cute charms!

My new school bag comes with what I'm assuming is a specific ring for charms... and it also has this odd hole in the back near the top. I guess it's for headphone wires to poke out of? Does anyone know?

[Anonymous No.9284024]

>>9283641
Thank you so much for your help! I was considering one of those pink plaid bodyline skirts, but a grey one does sound more versatile! I may try and find a blazer as well, I quite like that look!

I've not thought about bags yet, I know it's essential but I honestly don't like the way those bags look and I'd rather not buy one if I don't carry on wearing nanchette properly. I may just buy a backpack instead?

[Anonymous No.9284069]

>>9283662
Sounds like you and I have the same bag! I'm waiting for spring semester to start before I start using mine (one day of classes left!) but I'm so excited.

Is the hole got a heavy rubber-ish cover to it with a + shape cut in it? If so, that's for your headphones. You're supposed to tuck your phone into the pocket inside and thread the metal end of your headphones through the hole and connect to your phone. I haven't tried it yet but it's supposed to be less hassle than holding your phone if you're not wearing a jacket/sweater that has a pocket.

Which bag did you get? I ended up with pic related. It's not my photo, just one I grabbed because I have the same style/color.

Bodyline quality is not bad. But you do have to stay away from costume sets. Their sturdier skirts come with a hook closure that is adjustable, and a pocket. Make sure you order the standalone longer skirts, and not the sets that come with a shirt and tie. Pretty sure the latter are basically costumes and bad quality.

A backpack is fine as a bag. I only use the blue school bag if I'm going out. I never actually used it for school. Textbooks and laptop were too heavy otherwise (and the blue bags don't hold nearly as much either).

To answer >>9283319 you could start with a plain skirt but bring in colour from your outwear and accessories (like a cardi or hoodie and tie or bow). Aside from the pleated skirt, dress shirt and maybe kneesocks if you don't already own some and want them, the rest is easy to find and you might already have in your wardrobe. I think a navy or black skirt is nice to start to pair with colourful hoodies and easier than the reverse (pink skirt and dark hoodies) but you could do that too.

I personally don't have a particular colour scheme but the colours tend to be neutral and work well with each other. Blank, grey, navy, and wine basically make up my wardrobe and are easy to combine amongst each other.

It's surprisingly okay if you wear very warm boots (like the ugg type) and you're walking a short distance outside with no wind. Once there is wind, you will have so many regrets. But if it's 34 degrees out, no wind, and you're otherwise really bundled up, you stay pretty warm if you walk constantly.

It also seems like more of a city thing, where girls will be ducking in and out of shops and public transportation, and don't have a long way to walk to get to everything.

I'm looking to get into nanchatte, but I don't know where to start, and affordably too. I like the blazer looks. I have a few bowties which I guess I could incorporate into it somehow. Could somebody point me in the right direction, particularly for shoes and skirts?

[Anonymous No.9293102]

>>9293042
With nanchatte you can get away using all sorts of offbrand stuff, but personally I think blazers and skirts are best purchased from a place that had nanchatte in mind.

Right off the bat I'll suggest Yahoo Japan if you don't mind secondhand stuff. You can get specific brands like conomi there etc.
You can also get cute things on taobao. Ebay and aliexpress to a lesser degree as well, but I'll warn you about potential low quality. If something is cheap and looks amazing in the stock photo it might just be too good to be true. Use common sense.

Bodyline has decent skirts, just don't get the costume sets. They have okay loafers too, but imo they won't hold up for everyday wear.

Your best bet for shoes would be to just go to a normie store and find something that is comfortable and will last. Loafers, mary janes, running shoes/converse are all okay depending on what flavour of nanchatte you like best.

Since nanchatte looks best with boxy blazers rather than fitted ones, your best bet might be taobao/Japanese brands, but I did get lucky with a thrift store find once.

Of course, thrift stores will have pleated skirts, vests, dress shirts/blouses and that kinda stuff as well.

As with anything else, just make sure the items are good quality The material shouldn't feel cheap: thin, or rough, or wrinkle horribly (or all three). and everything should fit you nicely; it's not a nice look to squeeze into stuff that's too tight or too short.

[Anonymous No.9293110]

>>9293102
I don't mind second hand at all. I just got a skirt and some shirts from eBay, and a bowtie that'd better suit the color combination I'm going for (beige and black). Going thrift shopping tomorrow.

[Anonymous No.9297997]

>>9293744
If you're not wearing a sailor uniform, people often interpret it as preppy or it's easy to ease into it by starting to incoporate uniform items into everyday in a "preppy" way (e.g. tights instead of knee socks, other shoes instead of mary janes or loafers, not wearing neckties). A sweater, pleated skirt, tights and oxfords looks very normie if you want to ease into the look.

[Anonymous No.9298582]

Agreed, the outfit is really not that far off from what ppl wear normally wear besides the plaid skirt. Just keep the basic parts like the skirt and shirt, and skip the tie and socks. Some ppl will still notice, but those are usually the ppl already exposed to the culture anyway.

Oh, you use the front pocket? I use the inside one because I'm super paranoid about my phone falling out.
I need to add more charms to mine as well (I have a lot on my backpack to transfer) but so far I've been pleasantly surprised that no one has looked twice at my bag. It's really brought my confidence up since I fully expected to some how be caught out as a weeb the moment I stepped onto campus with it.

It just looks like a holdall, it's not going to trigger people's weeb senses in the same way a Japanese leather backpack would or something.

IMO nanchatte is at its best in sweater weather, since I don't like the way school shirts look alone without a sweater/cardigan/blazer and seifukus are super hard to wear without looking weeby. Might help >>9312293 - don't have pics but nanchatte looks at its most toned-down with a white/cream collared shirt underneath a sweater, worn with a pleated (possibly tartan) skirt. Ties and neckties are going to make you look weeby or overly like a schoolgirl costume to normies, OTK/UTK socks also potentially risky. Loafers also add to weebishness since they're not popular in mainstream fashion - look for a school-appropriate shoe in another style (e.g. oxford or mary jane).
