I'm actually planning to do that.
Cute pajamas are cute, but A Day in the Life of a Lazy Shitbag: The Blog would be a lot funnier.
So I'm going to do that.
Ill still post whatever people submit to me, but I'm going to try to keep it entertaining.

>>7808315
Yep...

>>7806098
How about I give you the link instead?
rilakkumaworld.com/shop/rilakkuma-cloak/

>>7806093
I like that.

>>7806091
They pretty much think we're all filthy gaijins anyway, don't they?

>>7806089
Huh. I guess I didn't really pay attention.
The picture had a grown woman wearing it.
But yeah, I guess it doesn't really matter at this point.

>>7806086
>I don't want to look like a weeb
That's gonna be pretty hard if you want to emulate any j-fashions or j-inspired-fashions.

>>7806079
Really? I bought the one I posted a pic of, it fits me nicely. I just assumed it was supposed to be short on you, more like a poncho.

>>7806075
They're too small to be a full-body blanket, but they're usually thick enough to be nice and warm.

>>7806052
Something like this?
They're usually called cloaks or capes in online shops.

I just want to have fun.
If calling it it "depression kei" means I can't have fun, then I'll change it to whatever you want.

>>7805988
Well I'm very sorry I offended you, that wasn't my intention at all. I have actually have clinical depression too, I guess I'm just not really bothered by depression jokes.
I was literally basing the description of depression kei on how I live and dress myself.
It was wrong of me to assume taht everyone who has depression is comfortable making light of it, I'm sorry.
I guess I'm useless here, so everyone who wants to make it into gloomy kei, write up suggestions and things.

>>7805977
Geez, did you guys think I really meant you have to stop washing and roll around in dirt?
I mean if you did, I get why you don't like it.
It was just silliness for the sake of silliness, I guess I should take it out if everyone's taking it seriously.
Sorry everyone.

You're fine, you were just frustrated.
It wasn't my idea to have two different substyles, it was suggested by a lot of people, so I thought it would make the community happy.
And since hikikei is basically anything you would wear to bed/around the house, then there are a lot of different possibilities for it, so I kind of think two substyles might be a good idea.
The moper and the dreamer.
They both spend all day inside, but one enjoys it and the other just does it.

>>7805966
>you make it sound disgusting
Well that's kind of the point, depressed people don't really care about how they look.
It's kind of jokey and kind of not.

> The fashion should focus on cute comfy outfits that can double as pajamas but still maintains cuteness and have an air of sloppiness.

As of its several-hour-long conception, comfy kei has a loose definition. Cute, comfy pajamas fit right into comfy kei.

Who cares, as long as we have fun!

Everyone can be kawaii in Hikikei.
It a truly gender, weight, income, and cleanliness-blind fashion.

I've put together a more comprehensive guide to hikikei, tell me what you think!

There are two divisions of Hikikei: Depression Kei and Comfy Kei

Depression Kei focuses more on the general sadness of being a hiki. There is less color restriction in Depression Kei, but colors are often dark.
Common traits of Depression Kei:
Hair: messy, let down, obvious roots, sloppy ponytail
Upper Body: ill-fitting tops (too big, too small, too short), baggy sweaters
Lower Body: sweat pants, pajama pants, no pants at all
Under wear: old
Feet: any sort of ridiculous socks, crocs, ugly but comfortable boots, slippers, no shoes at all
Accessories: chip dust, leg hair, human filth

Comfy Kei focuses on the more rewarding aspects being a shut-in. Comfy Kei colors are almost always light or pastels. Comfy Kei often has many, many layers.
Common Traits include:
Hair: ponytails, pigtails, buns, braids, or let down and very fluffy
Upper Body: fluffy sweaters, big t-shirts, nightgowns, cardigans, pajama tops
Lower Body: skirts of all kinds, ruffle shorts, bloomers, pajama bottoms, generally anything with a lot of poof
Feet: leg warmers, long socks, the comfiest shoes money can buy
Accessories: bows, character hats, scarves, kawaii bait

It's nothing exciting, I expect we won't be seeing any rants until we get more popular.

Made a purse post!

The hip hug bag is hands-down my favorite.

Also, I've already got my first hate message! We're a real fashion now!

So, god forbid, if you had to go outside, what kind of bag would you carry?
Or do you not have a phone or money or anything to carry?

Ooh, we need to make a master post of giant stuffed life partners.
Just because we're hikis doesn't mean we have to be alone forever.

>>7805852
I love it!
And washed-out is always a good thing in hikikei, don't worry about it!

>>7805841
A-Aw... Thank you anon-chan.
I've been digging deeper into hikidom for years and years now, so I have quite a head start.
I think anyone can turn their hovel into a hiki den perfect just for them if they have enough patience and spare time!
Lots and lots of spare time.
A giant Monchhichis though, you's probably have to commission...
Think that's what the hikikei shop should before?
Personalized giant stuffed animal huzabandos?
because I think that would be brilliant.

>>7805816
Thank you!

I went ahead and made a group page since no one else was.
I'll add whoever wants in!
