These are what I'm talking about, the fusions that exist in so many street snaps I've seen are totally absent in the west and are even sometimes made fun of in this thread. I gotta give it to them for trying, at least.

>"masculine/androgynous version of lolita" is not much of a "rule" but i think it is the best rule we have for ouji
Precisely why I think it is ripe with opportunities to incorporate interesting avante garde fashion pieces. We have a very flexible guideline to work with, so long as a few key points are hit, and ouji can, as you've shown, blend in with other styles very fluidly.

>*have you noticed that often, but not always, ouji sets made by brands have a defined waist around where a lolita OP or JSK would flare out?
This bothers me a lot, and I am always upset to try something on and realize the vest is made to fit a skirt under it; the waistline is extremely unflattering for men unless they can pull off some sort of shota coord. We need a better name for that, shota probably isn't a good one, but that's another discussion. I was going to say schoolboy but that sounds like it excludes young prince, I.. eh, anyways.

It's very interesting to me that Isobe has done something here that no one else has.. he's wearing a granny smith long vest in black under a vargossa jacket. When combined like that, the omnipresent gaudy trim aatp uses on everything actually looks cool and adds layers to the outfit. I was going to joke that he probably can't button it up given his size, but.. I think he actually can't I'd assume he would modify it to fit, but from the look of his vargossa collar being folded over in a way that needs some serious ironing, he probably doesn't care.
