Fashion Tips? Anyone? Pleez?

[mangafreak]

Konichiwa, if any body is willing to lend me some japanese fashion tips, it would be much appreciated...

[Koyuki]

i know some of the style, japanese usually use bright color an a dare mix and match. Straight hair and a bit curl on the bottom, usually died in colour.
They use simple make up (it's for everyday except visual kei stuff) and sometimes a pair of boots.
Well what do you up to? chic, kei, lolita, or else?

Pretty much anything you wouldn't expect to wear together.
This website will give you a good luck on the everyday wear that the Japanese wear. XD

FASHION JAPAN

[gloomth]

AGH!

Thats such a vague request.

You do realize not every Japanese person dresses in some extreme style?
Not everyone is a Lolita or Visual Kei.

Im sure there are thousands of people in Japan who dress in the same sort of casual manner as "Western" people do. So asking for a "Japanese fashion tip" could be anything from brush your teeth to wear socks with shoes.


Here's a fashion tip thats absolutely applicable to every single person alive:
WEAR WHAT LOOKS GOOD ON YOU, PERSONALLY.
Dont get sucked into doing trends/styles for the sake of (especially when they arent flattering), dress your age so you dont look like a moron, dont dress the weight you wish you were dress your body now, etc.

People dont realize that you can dress in a Goth/Lolita/VisualKei/Punk/ANY
subculture style in a FLATTERING WAY. You dont have to look like the exact duplication of everyone else who likes that look. You can fit that style and still have a well-suited personal style.

FIT, CUT, QUALITY, FABRIC.
if you arent hitting an "A" on all those things with a piece of clothing, dont buy it.

I think that you could have worded this a bit differently. I know you're being helpful, but it sounds more like an attack. However, I don't disagree with a single thing you said.

mangafreak, what style would you like to dress?

I've been planning on buying the FRUiTS magazine ^_^

But I'm going to agree with Gloomth and say you should definately wear what you like and what you feel good in. ^_^

go shopping with ur friends, buy a few of the same things, and wear almost the exact same outfit the same day, it's a very japanese thing to do
maybe u could make ur own t-shirts? most of the time, japanese t-shirts r exactly the same as western t-shirts, but u would never find the same kind in western places so making ur own is pretty much what would make u unique
