Japanese Fashion?

[Kitty]

Japan is in the heart of the fashion world right now. Designers from other countries are watching eagerly and taking notes every time a new style emerges from the fashion streets of Japan.

So, out of all the styles Japan has to offer, which do you prefer? Are there any you think were bad ideas? Many people believe gonguro and manba styles are awful. But I believe that if you get the right girl, it can look good. I've seen some really cute ones in those fashions.

Here's a handful of J-fashions to use as reference.

x3 think that must be a decorer style i love it its so cute x3

[Kitty]

Yep, that's decora style. A lot of people seem to be big fans of that style. I tried it out a couple times... It was fun but all those accessories were sometimes a bother ^.^:

[Celi]

I have a pic of Decora Style it's nice but i prefer sweet, classic or gothic lolita.

[MIDORI X!]

ok... so i might as well confess.
Decora is my kryptonite. SO CUTE!
Andd im weak for it because i love cute things. XD
buut i also LOVE visual kei!!! Anyone else love dir en grey and other things such as?

OH! And i had to edit this by saying I TOTALLY wanna be a sweet lolita. I love the fashion and attitude. or gothic lolita... but anyways ^_^
either is fun!

[Che-San]

I like decora style too but i think sweet lolita is my favorite =D

[(｡◕‿‿◕｡) mochi-chan]

I want to say anything. But the girl on the back who's wearing the cardigan shorts is kinda checking them out. Of course, they look so girlie and cute.

[Kitty]

I noticed her. She looks freaked out/annoyed by them. Often people who dress in these fashions in Japan are seen as an embarrassment. They aren't often liked by people who don't also partake in the more extreme street fashions.

[(｡◕‿‿◕｡) mochi-chan]

yeah I know what you mean. I think they look so cute.

[(｡◕‿‿◕｡) mochi-chan]

But, other people who are business like seem so in to western look. Like the people who love to purchased expensive clothes such as gucci, prada, and channel. You know designer clothing. I think the fashion of japan it's really amazing. Yet, you have so many styles to choose from. I would choose lolita cause' i would love to dress like a princess.

Well, generally I like all styles, but my total weakness is visual kei, both clothes and music, it's so ABSOLUTELY COOL that it makes me wanna cry! XD I also like the yamanba style, but just looking at pictures and all that, I would never go out looking like that!! But I prefer the ganguros, now that's cool and fun! Decora must be really fun to wear, and that's just me I guess, but I always have the sensation that my head would be heavy with all those pins on!! But it's so cute and kawaii, with so much HK stuff that I LOVE!! ^^
