anon, no aristo, we had the vote in the femme aristo thread to keep it out of ouji.

>>8761206
the vote was split evenly last i checked, 6 for and 6 against. most who wear male aristo want to stay here.

i made the poll and posted it to both threads.

>>8761204

>>8761206
>>8761210
in any case, what i would suggest is, rather than derail, when the femme aristo thread fills or drops off the board, its next edition can be open to all types of aristo. this thread, which has built up a discussion community, will stay open to all types of boystylers. no reason to exclude or chase anyone out of a thread.

am begging iw to release more solid boystyle pieces/shorts.. i neeed them

>>8761658
have you had any luck with finding them secondhand? i see IW often on different Japanese sites, but they sadly are too small for me.

I am a guy with an 88cm chest who is thinking about getting a Roland the next time one pops up. Is the men's size going to be super baggy on me at 94cm?

>>8761942
Get a mens' Roland. You need room in the measurements for breathing etc. I have a mens' Roland despite being a woman with a bust of 80cm. They're fine. The ladies size Roland also has a ridiculously tiny waist - about 65cm on the garment itself.

http://www.closetchildonlineshop.com/product/90360

this looks rather oujiable, yes? and only 3,800 yen, with around 40cm shoulders.

>>8762883
That's terrible, please don't encourage anyone to buy it

>>8762883
It looks like an old man cardigan. Def not ouji-able.

>>8762883
Buy it if you like it but casual mens wear is not ouji.

>>8762892

>>8763040
thanks anons, you saved a life today

>>8761905
nope not with bottoms, but I did snag malonica rose bustier 2 weeks ago on closet child (its actually really pretty in person).. pants are stupidly hard to find

>>8763266
Congrats! Nice find anon.

quick bump because we are being hit by a spammer and threads are vanishing

Anyone know where to find cool hats? Preferably like tricorn hats, but cool top hats would also be ok. AatP's are pretty cool, but most of them are out of stock, and I feel like most of the ones on Etsy either look cheap or are overdone (too many feathers and things, to the point that it looks silly). I've heard there are some on taobao, but I'm not sure which shops to check.

Closet Child's men's shop isn't a reliable place to find boystyle-appropriate pieces, but sometimes pic related crops up.

http://www.m-closetchild.jp/product/61918

for anons looking to pad their wardrobes, especially man-sized anons, it might be worth combing through the site for vests, tops, and accessories. do not hold your breath though!

>>8765517
>sometimes
*sometimes something like

>>8765128
i have not had luck finding a reliable source. you can find inexpensive hats to use as bases on eBay, Amazon, etc., then decorate as you like.

>>8765128
corgi corgi is alright and a lot of things are still in stock

taobao, check out stores like r-series, infanta, surface spell, rococo-soul and cutie creator

>>8766269
everything is sold out here: http://corgicorgi.theshop.jp

from what i have heard, they sell out quickly. is there another source for corgi-corgi?

>>8765128
peacockalorum (on storenvy, not etsy) has some reasonably priced tricorns (pic related) and mini tricorns.

Fellow oujis, I need inspiration! Last week I was bored and ended up making about 1,5m long and 2cm wide lace. I don't know what kind of garment should I sew for it so can someone dump pieces with lace on them?

>>8766296
sorry, maybe i last looked right after they restocked

>>8766464
this is niceh though not sure what you'd be able to use it for

>>8766464
let me see what i can find.

you can use it to give texture to a jabot, like the lace trim on pic related

>>8766483
this neckpiece has various dangling bits, including lace

>>8766488
AatP uses lacelike trim to accent their hats

>>8766492
this bow is edged with lace

>>8766496
cuffs and tiered jabot trimmed with lace

>>8766501
this guy's got lace coming out his ears

should i get this? or is it too grandpa and nouji.. was thinking of coording it with dark brown jacket and shoes/off white jabot and socks + wine bowtie and hat

>>8766793
i think you could make it work. looks pretty comfy and teddy-bearish.

>>8766793
DON'T do it bro!
I would personally take that risk unless it was like $30 for the whole thing.
It looks like it's made out of corduroy which is hard to clean, and also it looks frumpy as fuck.
I would do red with that color I would do a cream instead much like the teddy bear ouji that was posted a little bit earlier.

>>8767099
thanks, i'll try!
>>8767135
it's actually just a little over 30 bucks, will let you guys know if i win the bid

>>8766793
Where is this from?

>>8767265
post worn pics if you win it. i have a feeling an iron could make a big difference.

okay, will do it when it gets here

These are up on tokyoalice right now, don't have the dosh for them but if I did I would probably pick some up.

Does it bother anyone else that h. Naoto doesn't make his clothes symmetric by the prints? For example, >>8771335 bottom left looks bad in my eye since the print isn't 'mirrored'. It looks like it's badly sewn because of the print.

I know it's related to not to get waste fabric. It just would look better symmetric.

>>8771380
i own a few h. Naoto items and enjoy the asymmetry, but i can see how it would be troublesome for others. to me it feels a bit like the screens(?) used to fill patterns in comics and manga, a technique exploited for aesthetic effect in pic related.

>Boz still has men's New Years pack listed as available
>consider buying it
>tuition bill comes in
>have to make a down payment worth 2 Boz lucky packs

being a student is suffering.

>>8771893
i'm debating whether i should buy it or just get specific boz items secondhand that i actually want.

i can't afford it, but i'm doing one or the other anyways.

>>8771912
Specific items that you want are always better than lucky packs imo.

>>8771914
agreed, for the most part.

$200ish dollars for a brand-new shirt, pants, etc., though, sounds tempting.

>>8772125
I read that the estimated value of the contents is $600-900 but that was for 2014 and may have been for a more expensive pack

Let's discuss! What would be the ouji counterpart of wa-lolita? What kind of clothes would he wear?

>>8774383
Don't try to shoe-horn these together. I've seen only one wa-lolita coord done well as it is.

>>8774383
this was made for Grandpa Adel but i have seen no worn pics

we had been speculating if maybe AatP was not making mens sizes anymore. it seems they are, as this popped up:

anyone else's aesthetic influenced by a non-boystyle figure?

>>8776093
Casper in the 1995 live action movie.. I watched it when I was like 7-8, all I remember thinking at the end of the movie was that he was really cute and I wanted to look like him

>now

>>8776093
I'm just getting started but:

>Utena
Military jackets everywhere.

>>8776351
SAAAAAAAAME

>>8776553
Haha, I'd like say they're an influence on my character too. Recently someone at a tea party said I remind them of Oscar. I died right there.
Anyway, rose themed coords here I come.

>>8776239
Are you the anon that got the hair cut too? You sound very precious

>>8776703
no, my family is very conservative
>chopper waist/butt length hair into buzz cut when I was 16, wanted to experiment with hairstyles as it grew out
>shocked parents, dad didn't let me keep it short
I'm almost out of college now, and when I can support myself I will probably get a similar haircut to casper's haha! I'm allowed to wear good quality short hair wigs though (short grandma wigs are legit, the boy cuts they have actually look like jfash boy hair not kidding)

>lost over 40lbs this year

>>8777590
that's awesome, well done! keep up the good work and i hope your ouji dreams come true.

we're all gonna make it, anon

>>8766461
I hope someone who'll get some use out of this reads it - Peacockalorum's large/regular sized tricorns are $60 if I remember correctly, and I bought one thinking it'd be worth the price. It's comically tiny, but not mini-hat tiny, the feather is pathetic and the brooch was meh and cheaply made. I also bought some bows which came on uncomfortable, plain metal headbands despite no headband being shown in the picture (so I assumed they were clips) and my ivory bow has a white center (the knot part of the bow). I'm terrified of confrontation so I never made a review, which is my fault entirely, but I hope maybe I can prevent someone else from being as disappointed.

The bow in question was pic related in ivory, although now I do see the ugly cheap headband attached to it. Either way, for a $17 headbow ordered in a specific color, I think it's fair to expect the entire bow to be that color?

>>8778395
thanks anon, that is helpful.

>>8778395
Do you have pics worn? I am curious about how small the "big" ones are.

>>8776893
any pics of the wigs? worn or on a wig head is fine.

>>8777592
thanks anon, i plan to! i'm a manlet with a small frame who can probably get small enough to fit in most womens ouji, and i am gonna take full advantage of that by not being a fat fuck any longer.

>>8776893
>>8778879
seconding the wigs, please. my usual hairstyle doesnt work for ouji.

>>8778992
>probably get small enough to fit in most womens ouji
mad jelly. i am a 5'6" manlet and have to stick to brands with men's sizes. exploit your genetics, anon.

how tall guys does ouji generally accommodate for? I want to get a male friend into it but he's at least 5'10 if not more. weight would not be an issue since he's quite a twig

>>8779034
people always bullied me for being so damn short, but i guess the jokes on them now because im going to be small, frilly and happy, and they arent. good luck with you finding clothes that fit, anon.

>>8779051
The thing he will have an issue with is sleeve and pant length. It isnt meant for tall people, so if he is lanky he will have to go custom on this stuff.

>>8779051
technotropism and ghostintheforest are quite tall, pic related, and they wear brand. techno did an unboxing video for a unisex AatP robe (Chat Noir?) on YouTube and mentions the fit as being a bit small compared to men's sizes. if he is twiggy he should be all right, shoulders and armholes might be his biggest issue.

>>8779066
yup, getting into boystyle after having been bullied for being small and unmasculine is a sweet revenge.

>>8779443
another option is to shorten long pants and sleeves if length is the only issue. tailoring long pants to be short pants would fit the aesthetic.

you can also get away with a plainer but fitting blouse if you have a good gilet. something like pic related seems to be hiding a lot of tall person troubles: folded sleeves, tall boots concealing the ends of the pants, and an eyecatching gilet (sleeveless Roland?) that draws the eyes away from the rolled-up sleeves.

>>8779454
sorry, looked like boots in the pic but it's just shorts and dark socks. the point still stands: tuck pants that are not long enough into tall boots!

>>8763266
there's a couple up on ClosetChild now

>>8779446
Ah I fit right inbetween ghostintheforest and agentlemandoesnotconga.
I haven't had too many length issues so far, but I haven't bought any Brand yet either.

>>8780080
Look at their pictures to get a feel for what they fit into. Agentlemandoesnotconga wears moitie fine, and he isnt that skinny for an asian. Ghostintheforest seems to wear attp jackets fine but I dont see her wear brand pants or shorts.

>>8779446
Wow, I'm taller than Aerynsys and absolutely nobody else! No wonder everything's long and loose.

>>8779446
I'm 170. I'm going to feel even worse about being tall and un-cute.

>>8779454
I don't understand how 5'8 is considered tall, everyone in >>8779446 is manlet sized and some still struggle to fit in the MEN's sized BOYstyle?

>>8781178
yeah, if i recall, when she finally joined the Roland club she had to unjoin because ladies' size was too big.

>>8781630
tall can be cute, you just gotta work it. i do not know the heights of other boystylers but totentanzdandy seems taller than siriusc at least, and he can be quite cute imo.

>>8781704
japanese brands have japanese sizing, meme-kun

>>8781630
I'm 170. I mean, isn't some height an advantage? I like at least being the same height as my lolita friends when they're all in heels. Feels more princely.

this convo inspires me to make a request of our resident vloggers and aspiring vloggers: a good video topic is height/size and brand options. just talking about and demonstrating your own size and fits would be helpful.

>>8781738
170. I'm higher than most of Japanese men. I've no chance for a boyfriend ever. Too big for ouji.

>>8781784
aw anon. ouji is versatile, you can wear nice fashionable pants even if the shorts are too short or whatever. in pic related, the styles at the bottom say "Ouji Style" and "Ouji style in previous issues," and the look with long pants can work well for tall folk.

additionally, famous ouji technotropism is your height and makes it work imo.

cannot help with the boyfriend situation ofc

>>8781874
bottom right to be specific

>>8781704
It's a girl fashion, men's size is only s bit bigger and Asians are short.

>>8781709
The sleeves are too long on her.

>>8781784
actually, even ghostintheforest is taller than you. pic related. you are fine, just avoid tiny brands and buy men's sizes when possible.

>>8781885
Which brands are considered tiny and which ones are considered normal or big? I'm curious. Additionally, despite being tall I can fit into most of big and medium sizes. How do I know if they're really fitting me and when I'm stuffing myself into too small clothes? I don't want to spend any more money just to end up being nouji in ill fitted clothes.

>>8781874
Uh, he's much taller than 1.7m
I'm a bit taller than that and he stands way over me.
I have no idea how he pulls it off, maybe because he's so skinny. Anyway you can always modify things and you don't have to use exclusively brand pants, for example. Especially if you're more aristo.
Shit anon, 170cm is barely 5'7" and that's just beginning to be slightly tall. Only insecure manlets would care.

on the subject of size, this street snap features someone 170cm wearing "gosu ouji" (gothic ouji), with a brand list of each item: >>8783070

street snaps often have model height info as well as brand names for different items. think creatively anons!

>>8783776

pic related is 170~

>>8761212
pretty sure this guy was 180

>>8781784
I'm the same height and wear ouji. I fit it pretty well, the men sizing is usually too big for me too.
I also have a boyfriend, don't get discouraged.

>>8784007
sauce/closeup of that rossette?

175cm, 75/64/86 measurement female here who fits into lady's sizes fine. Atelier Boz's lady's fits perfect even though the waist part somewhat starts to sit on my lower ribcage. I have yet to buy brand pants though and I am worried those might hit my hips and not fit.

Planning on buying a AaTP jacket soon and hoping it'll fit. The sizing seems larger than Boz.

>>8785083
Boz tends to be wider in the shoulders, i have found, but that is in their mens sizes.

a lot of brand pants in ladies sizes seem to be around 90cm at the waist, so i think you will be all right.

It's finally getting colder and snowier so pictures of winter ouji coords are welcome

>>8785083
Don't worry about your hips, worry about the length. Depending on my weight, my hips are 88-90cm (although mostly butt, so somewhat squishier than a wide pelvis) and I haven't had any trouble with brand pants. I'm only 158cm though and find the inseam and rise good on me, so I guess watch out for that if you're planning to get long pants not shorts

>>8787290
a long cape over long coat can also be quite warm, but i am not sure it works outside of gothic looks

>>8787295

>>8787297
winter is also a good time to bring out more historic-inspired wear with richer fabrics

>>8786867
>"sexy shota seme"
>fujoshi the sissies of the ouji world
I have to remember this.

>>8786847
Some of Bodyline lolita shirts look as if they were good for black&white butler-kei ouji.

>>8789068
i was checking out Deorart's English shop today. http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/products?term.brand_id=100000102&term.media=APPAREL&opt.is_group_default=1&order=new&page=1

they are a brand that consistently releases items labelled "ouji" that are often overlooked, and they have a wide range of sizes (small around 34cm shoulders i think, large around 41cm+) and items under $100. they release more punk than ouji but i thought you might find them worth checking out.

what is your ideal ouji "look"?

>>8786867
forget what the words themselves "really mean." if someone in my comm or on FB describes themselves as a shota, does this mean they probably like shotacon? or is there another meaning that became common among young women who are professed fujoshi?

i do not know whether to feel creeped out or not when a female boystyler uses words like seme/uke or shota to describe their look. i am hoping it is like when lolitas call themselves lolis, that is a playful thing, not related to porn, and therefore not an indication that they are getting off on the idea of little boys being sexy.

>>8790858
they probably just mean that they look like a young boy, not that they're into shota. (probably)

How hard is it to get into it if you're 5'10" 210 lbs? No, I'm not fat.

>>8790939
depends on your measurements. wide shoulders will have trouble fitting into brand blouses and jackets, a wide waist or long rise could impair your ability to wear brand shorts or pants. read upthread for discussions of height, and visit here to get an idea of what different-heighted boystylers look like: http://palaceofprinces.tumblr.com/MeetthePrinces

most brands are made for slim Japanese-sized people, but some Taobao brands do custom sizing.

>>8790942
Fuck, yeah I would probably have to tailor just about everything. Guess I ain't cut out, girlfriend wanted me to get into it, and I'm interested, but I'm probably not slim enough.

>>8790939
Sure.

>>8790955
Brother, I'm into bodybuilding/power lifting, not sitting on the couch and eating cheetos. I didn't specify though, so you got me there.

>>8790956
That means you should try to get things custom made for your shoulders and chest, and rely on open coats for brand main pieces. You're tall and presumably muscular, so an aristo look is better than cutesy ouji would be.
Do you have a pair of quality black trousers?
If you were fat, your situation would be completely different. You can afford to wear form fitting stuff, but your chest, shoulders, and (praise Brodin) thighs will be your limiting factor, rather than fat people, who have most trouble with waist.
Check out fanplusfriend.

>>8790956
if you are thick, cutesy ouji may not work, but historic-inspired ouji like pic related could. look to historic men's fashions and use brand accessories to accent.

aristocrat could also work, but it relies a lot on drape for its silhouette. either way, fan+friend is a good place to start like the other anon said

What does the rest of ouG think of coords without hats?
I used to be militantly pro-hat, but v-kei changed my mind.

>>8791013
perfectly fine. Mana seldom wears them

>>8791032
and ouji itself is good hatless as well

>>8791034

>mfw when i was teddy bear ouji
here is a pic of the salo worn on the last panel of the collage! it fits really well on me and the fabric is surprisingly soft, its not rough but is sturdy with a soft texture. most of axes femme's stuff has some boob cut though, just so you know (didn't have my binder with me, was wearing sports bra) but there is a waist tie at the back to tighten things up as well.

>>8791309
not sure, but it is similar in style to Boz or BPN vests.

>>8791523

I'm the anon that always takes ages to respond, forgive me, please!

So right now I'm collecting casual ouji and at the same time I'm aiming to collect clothes with kuroshitsuji-look (simple-ouji?).
>>8761314
>>8761309
>>8761305
>>8761272

But at the same time I love the 'mad-hatter' look with prints and accesories but it's much harder to coord with beginners wardrobe & costs more.

Def I'd avoid anything that leans towards aristo.

Sorry if I'm babbling! I guess I'm too new and too poor to know exactly what I want.

>>8787308
are these pants over pants
yuck

>>8793508
No its shorts, socks, boots.

>>8791526
>>8791541
thanks!

>>8793754
Oh right, my bad.
The sock's texture looks a bit off compared to the rest of the coord still. (Everything else is awesome)

>>8794911
really? I ask friends about their dds, so when I'm bored or looking at auctions I can keep an eye out..? My circle of lolita friends do the same, whether it's for cardigans or specific blouses

>>8794917
anon are you drunk

Does any one know of tags to find more every day tomboyish jfashion type of outfits? I used to see a lot scrolling tumblr but nothing was ever tagged.

>>8795023
wtf? I posted this in that daily challenge thread. I dont even frequent this thread?

>>8795690
that would be worth its own thread. i can share casual ouji and EGA but they are not tomboyish in the way you mean.

however, a thread for what you describe could be fun. we have had dansou threads before, so there should be an anon or two who would have an idea where to point you.

>>8795715
>I dont even frequent this thread?
so how are you here now?

>>8795720
You know when you scroll down... and you go past other threads..?

>>8795722
i do not browse that way, i forgot the catalog isn't default for everyone.

anyway you must have scrolled a bit too far in the wrong direction when replying initially. i don't think 4chan's software allows for ninja-moving someone's post to another thread. somehow you came to us, and we welcome you.

>>8792640
I did overdo my post didn't I?

>>8792640
cool! have you put together a coord yet? I'm guessing you're edging towards a more classic ouji style?

>>8796381
No full coord yet, I'm still missing some pieces. I'm really hyped for completing a whole thing.

>classic ouji style
Thank you for naming this!


>Also update about hairdo from 2 threads ago.
I got hairdo; but hairstylist made my long hair into a bob-cut with pointed ends. It's kind of OK, but not ouji enough and I might try to get it fixed in some time. Sadly it's nothing to self-post in.

>>8796381

>classic ouji style
I know how to name this now! Thank you. Is there a name for a bit more the style that looks like >>8792640>>8787310>>8761314 ?
>Also update about hairdo from 2 threads ago.
I got hairdo; but it's more of a bob cut than ouji cut, it's generally ok but I might try to wait how it'll look after hair will regrow a bit and maybe try to make it more bouncy?

>my prev post was all weirdly formated?

>>8797652
they are closer to sweet and classic ouji than gothic. the first two are a bit OTT, and all three are definitely more princely feeling, the way hime lolita has a more dressed-up/royal feel than non-hime.

pic related has an example of "sweet ouji" on the left, with more examples below it. you can have sweet in dark or muted colors or jewel tones; what separates it from "classic ouji" (examples in lower right of >>8781874) are the motifs in prints, the playful or "younger" look.

but this is open to interpretation and discussion. i have never seen anyone discuss these 2 scans and what they mean for ouji substyles, if anything. a lot of people seem to think sweet ouji means pastels and girly motifs, but to me the playing cards, Mad Hatterness, florals, as well as the shape (shorter or poofier) mark them as closer to sweet.

but also fairly close to classic. if you want to define your style, perhaps "sweet-classic ouji" would get the least disagreement.

Anybody have any tips/examples of how to combine navy and black in an ouji coord? Is it ok to do?

>>8797972
yes. the trick is to make sure it looks purposeful rather than accidental. if you have a piece that has both navy and black, like a pinstripe pattern, that will help. otherwise, maybe make sure your blacks are true and will not photograph as navy.

pic related, i cannot tell which pieces are black or navy depending on the pic. if the blacks were darker, and the legwear less bright, it might look more cohesive. (it is her first ouji coord and this is a nitpick, it's not nouji at all to me, just an illustration of a black x navy coord that almost works.)

>>8798093
sorry for small low res image, but here, the colors are more clearly marked. the navy blouse has a clearly black jabot and trim. you can tell there are 2 distinct colors complementing each other.

>>8798099
an EGA example, where the blouse has both black and navy, very distinct.

>>8798112
a sweet example with different patterns breaking up the blocks of black, including a navy plaid.

>>8797929
Thank you a lot! It's really helpful.

>>8797972
I'll join the question; I'd like to buy

Would it go well with a white blouse and over knees black pants?

>RIPrinceclothes my whole savings for this year 2016-2016, but I don't think I'll buy anything cheaper anyway.

>>8799529
that is a cool vest but i am not sure black pants would look right, especially since the navy of the vest appears to be almost a faded black, so the result might be a bit muddy. i think it can work as a first coord if that is what you have to work with, but if you are looking to buy pants i would seek a pair in a color the vest uses.

it does look like the rabbit brooch has black on it, and you might be able to bring out the black and navy with accessories that use both colors.

but honestly, if it fits your body and you carry yourself with confidence and a smile, you can get away with wearing just about anything.

>>8798093
Thanks, anon! That was really helpful.

>>8799939
When I'll buy this vest I'll be out of money for some time so I won't be able to buy matching print pants. Maybe I should something else? Tho I was kind hyped to find something (less)expensive that looks pretty.

>but honestly, if it fits your body and you carry yourself with confidence and a smile, you can get away with wearing just about anything.
Thank you anon, you're being so nice!

>I won't be able to buy matching print pants.
for a busy print like that i would recommend a solid color, just a color that is used in the print (a matching shade of blue, white, or red, for example).

i think if you really like this vest and have the funds, better to get it while you can and save up for different pants. finding a good print for boystyle is very difficult, and stuff like that hardly ever shows up secondhand so once it's sold out you might be SOL. you are taking a risk either way, but it is not like you're getting married, they're just clothes.

good luck and post results!

i made you an image macro, /ouG/

have you worn non-casual ouji in public without anyone with you who was wearing jfash?

>>8805454
Yeah, often. I'm at a liberal arts college, and I make a point of wearing jfash at least once a week.
I've only gotten questions and compliments; if you wear something suitlike, trim, and black, people like it, at least where I'm from.
