What does /cgl/ think of host-kei in general?
It is not too popular among white people, due to the fact it looks like shit on them ( or so, that's what I've seen ) but I am curious if you guys have any tips/opinions or such.

Stop making up fashions, this doesn't exist.

host kei isn't a fucking thing, it's just what hosts wear to work.

Suuure, occidental clothes like suits and tuxedos look awful on western people, my god, why are they thinking.

What's next? kimonos looking shitty on asians?

I hope you don't just mean wearing a suit, but wearing an ill-fitting suit and an embarrassing little boy haircut.

"Hostkei" is more about the work and character of a guy than his looks. If a guy looks stylish (ok it's also about style) and is a player he can be referred to as a host. If we talk about only style than there are 100 different 'host keis' like the vk host, the neo host or the normalfag non tanned or tanned gyaru-o all of them put into suits

hosts are dudes who work in night clubs to flirt up and drink with women for money. are you actually just making shit up as you do?

*go

>>8726593
That's exactly what they said though?
>>
>>8726598
when did they(you) say that? they didn't. it's not a fashion it's a job.
>>
>>8726601
They said if there was such a thing as hostkei it would be 100 different styles because there is no unifying visual theme except what their job demands.

Tokyo New Tribe did a special on female hosts, but i don't think it's a fashion exactly. it can be, for women, a subset of dansou maybe (i saw a video where one Japanese woman even referred to Misako in ouji as "dansou"). for male hosts, i don't know, is there such a thing as mote-kei for men? stuff that will make them popular with women? or would they just consider themselves metrosexual?
