Last thread at autosage: >>8837877
This thread is for ouji and aristocrat (aka "boystyle") discussion. Boystyle refers to the masculine counterparts of lolita and aristocrat fashions. There is a lot of overlap between these styles, and different people use different terms to describe them. So, consider this a thread for those whose style is on the right half of Buttcape's Lolita Family Triangle: http://www.kawacura.com/moripress/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/0dmmLH6-350x350.jpg

that is the goth, here is the sweet
3rd for nouji & fujoshis being the sissies of ouji world?
New nouji task: self-made mad hatter hat.
>>8956094
Oh actually hats are in op. I'm considering making one myself. I was planning to use cardboard as a base, sew over it with a black non glossy material and then add a ribbon and accessories. I'd like to use something brand made as I don't plan to walk around with a deck of cards from a corner store. Tho Idk what???
Does anyone know a good place to find a navy blouse that would be suitable for ouji? Putumayo is the only place I can find one, but it looks see-through, and I'm not sure how good the quality is. I've tried checking taobao, but haven't had much luck there either.
>>8957865
Boz sometimes do navy blouses, as do Moitie. Alice and the Pirates occassionally as well, so worth a look?
I'm trying to identify a Moitie gilet I picked up on Alice Fururun. I've found similar, bt does anyone recognize what year it's from, and whether the piece has a name? It's a halter-neck gilet with a lace up back, double-breasted, and longer at the back. It's a mens' size EGA item.
>>8957904
Search for the SKU located on the clothing tag.
>>8957963
Thanks.
>>8957963
this, the item number will usually be prefaced with "EGA" and you can search from there.
not every release is archived on Lolibrary, though. my wide pants and one of my blouses are not on there, last times i have checked.
>>8958329
I've searched high and low on Lolibrary for it, to no luck. Thus in part why I'm asking here. I've trawled through al of the Moitie coats and vests and gilets, to no luck.
>>8957865
I feel like Infanta has several navy blouses. Also check Surface Spell.

do you stalk secondhand sites? what size range are you?
>>8963898
It evolved from tiny rooms and not enough space to take photographs, combined with shitty mobile internet sites designed for galakei and mobile apps that output small resolution photographs. I don't see it going away any time soon.
>>8962757

>>8977667
CoF is a nonpublic group, so i am always uncertain how to utilize coords i find there. it seems wrong to share an image onto 4chan (which has outside sites that archive EVERYTHING posted to /cgl/) when the owner uploaded it to a semi-private group. it is common to do it, and we have a CoF thread that reposts (and thus archives) every coord, but it feels different than uploading an image from a public source like tumbl or daily_lolita's public entries.
>>8979379
>how long have you been wearing ouji
almost a year, dabbled in EGA a decade ago and vkei off and on since then
>how many vests/pants/coats do you own
not counting offbrand (and including brands like BPN): 6 vests/gilets, 4 pants/shorts, 3 jackets.
>what is your favorite accessory
this versatile offbrand scarf that works as a belt, hat trim, jabot, and as a scarf. i wish i could say "my hat" but each of my hats is problematic.
>your favorite brand
Moi-meme-Moitie
>what kind of print would you like to see on ouji wear
gothic non-cartoony shit like the best Moitie lolita pieces used to get. Iron Gate, Church Gate, Silent Moon, etc. such prints are both elegant and gender-neutral and would really suit a unisex fashion like ouji.
pic related, like fuck, put this on my body. imagine a long gilet or jacket with arches and spires and towers and bats flocking up toward the waistline, in a color that matches the lining or trim of the garment. why doesn't this fucking exist
>>8979379

7 months

7 jackets, 3 vests, 7 pants

Rose pins from a bonnet.

I don't really like prints (my lolita wardrobe only has one print in it), but something simplistic or maybe just a interesting pattern.

i think this is the same lolita in ouji again, sorry for the antpic
>>8979379
>how long have you been wearing ouji

>how many vests/pants/coats do you own
About 20 vests, 5 pants, 10 coats
>what is your favorite accessory
Handmade rose brooch. Works nicely as a hat accessory or on a vest.
>your favorite brand
Alice and the pirates.
>what kind of print would you like to see on ouji wear
The typical rose, cross, bats, iron gates. Anything goes since there aint much of a selection anyway.

>http://tombanwell.blogspot.ca/2010/01/steampunk-leather-top-hat-tutorial.html
I wouldn't use cardboard, it won't do complex curves like a nice top hat brim, and if it ever gets squashed you won't be able to reshape it. These all use leather or fosshape, though traditional is heavy buckram, which is reasonably priced and steam-shapeable. I'm a hat newbie myself but the friend who taught me makes /tons/, if you want more advice.
Just want to give a shout out to all boystylers on a steady journey of self-improvement. I am deleting old agentlemandoesnotconga coords from my inspo folder because he's so much fucking better at it now than he used to be. Everyone, whatever your specific fashion style, please continue to mature in elegance and grace.
Time for the weekly post!

>>8993003
That depends which items.
my-lolita-dress is doing preorders for 2 Classical Puppets ouji sets. i really like this blouse. shoulders go up to 42cm.
http://www.my-lolita-dress.com/newly-added-lolita-items-this-week/new-released-ouji-outfits-from-classical-puppets
>>8973771
They look like blackmilk leggings.
What is the general consensus on swallowtail coats?
>>8996618
they are classy and awesome when they are good quality and fit the wearer. they are a boystyle staple.
>>8996633
Was thinking on something along this line, plus generic vest, necktie and the pants inside the boots, dunno
Where can I find dandy aristocrat clothing besides F+F?
My bf wants to dress up to match me (I wear classic and sweet) but does not have the look to pull off ouji and doesn't like it anway.
>>8996707
that looks like a really solid coord base. some neckwear (jabot, necklace, or a jazzy tie) and a cool bag would complete the look. you picked items with gothic details so the ubiquitois bat or coffin bag would be easiest to find if you get stuck.
not sure if the pants are slim enough to tuck, but if not, the boots look slim enough to drape the pants over.
>>8996713
Also I did look through the shop list, but couldnt find anything that wasn't just ouji or really gothic other than F+F
>>8996713
>dandy
thrift stores mostly. "dandy" isn't jfash, F+F just uses that term because it sells.
aristocrat is gothic, which can make a cool contrast if you are wearing sweet or classic, imo. but if you want to match, what is it about ouji he does not like? there is such a wide range of styles (as wide as lolita), and many aristocrat outfits can also be classed as ouji (and usually are in Japan).
can you describe his bodytype and general tastes?
meanwhile, check out Elegy. they are a Western indie brand with affordable men's blouses.
http://www.elegyclothing.com/ouiji
have you checked Buttcape's spreadsheet?
>>8996713
>>8996734
adding to this, though, if you are after 19th century style dandy, rather than modern dandy (which can look sometimes like pic related), try the LARP or historic costumes thread.
>>8996734
Ah ok thanks I wasnt sure because last time I asked about something like this dandy is what came up.
I was worried aristocrat would end up clashing, but I could see it working along side classic actually.
Its just too feminine, I dont know anything about ouji and neither does he really other than what pictures we find. He doesn't like the idea of dressing like a little prince and the shorts are definitely a no go.
About my bf
>probably about 5'9"
>little bit of a baby face he likes to hide under a full beard (but not like hipster full beard, one that someone could get away with keeping for a job)
>pretty skinny, would fit into plenty of things straight from japan
>likes punk music and is open to, as he calls it "dressing like a pirate"
He just wants to look good with me basically/
I'll check those out though! I was thinking for matching with my coords it may be as simple as getting blouses and pants from like F+F and then getting vests that match my colors.
>>8996744
Yeah definitely was looking at 19th century instead of modern as I thought modern might be too off next to lolita, thanks for the ideas!
>>8996744
However do you think modern dandy could work? He does like modern dandy clothes and that picture sure is colorful enough to match sweet lolita lol
>>8996713
If you're looking for Aristocrat clthing, there's n Aristocrat specific thread.
>>8996750
Thanks, Ill check the catalogue too then :)
>>8996749
Different anon, but I'm a fan of modern/neo-dandy looks; it can range from preppy Ivy League looks to teddy boy meets hipster looks to Andre Benjamin's flamboyant coords. I don't want to post a non-ouji style in an ouji thread, so I recommend browsing Neo-Dandyism's tumblr and Dandyism. n et
I don't see how a lolita and a dandy can't be dressed up together. To regular people, they look like a pair of really dressed up people.
>tfw no qt dandy bf to dress up with
>>8996618
imo, they're hit or miss. I used to work in a tuxedo shop and my recommendation is that it works best on tall, non-bulky figures. As for anything, make sure it fits around the body properly.
>>8996747
I originally really disliked ouji, but it grew on me. Dressing like a 'prince' doesn't have to mean looking like a little boy. You could be elegant to match classic, without going fully aristocrat. Take the colours of ouji and the maturity of aristo and you can get a pretty nice blend.
I don't know any other ouji who have full beards but neatly trimmed it can still look nice. Don't describe it as boy-prince wearing silly hats and shorts - that's one way to do it, but there's much more variety than that.
>>8997037
Honestly he cools with everything up until the shorts.
He likes what you posted other than that and the ruffles on the bottom of the vests.
Like I said all we really know about ouji is the "little boy" look, but this thread has given me a lot more to look at, it looks like a good mix for him, that he thinks, is just mixing and matching ouji tops/vests with more mature pants and coats
>>8997045
Does he dislike shorts in general? I hadn't worn them for over 10 years before ouji, can't say I blame him.
Ruffles and lace can be hard to avoid, particularly on blouses. If he's willing to shell out the money for Boz that's great, otherwise I'd probably look for Ozz On and h.Naoto.
I want to get a shaggy short haircut like this but I don't want to be mistaken for an actual boy, wat do? Are there more cutesy girly ones?
>>8997099
The way you style the same short layered cut is the difference in a boy look versus a girl look. I have a short shag cut and choose to wear it boy-like because it's my aesthetic, but a little hot ironing or whatnot would make the style feminine.
>>8997045
>all we really know about ouji is the "little boy" look,
that is usually specific to sweet ouji, since sweet usually translates to looking more childlike (and not looking like an actual child, children don't dress like this!). you can wear mature sweet ouji as well--pic related.
classic, gothic, punk, and military ouji are common styles that tend to veer away from the childlike look (well, punk often looks juvenile in a mallgoth sort of way).
>>8997045
>mixing and matching ouji tops/vests with more mature pants and coats
totentanzdandy (pic related) often does that.
>>8997154

>tfw when i have a copy of each of these pics in full size

>>8997045
Aristocrat tends to be the more mature look, if we separate 'ouji' into how we see it in teh West, as ouji and aristocrat, with ouji being more the side leanin towards the more playful and younger look. If he's fairly slim, Atelier Boz's mens' sizin, and Moitie'smens sizing could work for him. There's also BPN (gone but, but second hand stuff still pops up), and some others. Buttcape's blog definitely a good resource.
>>8997272
Oh, and in case you haven't found it, here's the Aristocrat general: >>8966666 .
Stupid question: What kind of armwear oujis have when wearing short sleeved shirts? Some doesn't have anything and others wear usually arm cuffs or gloves. Is there anything else?
>>8998534
wristcuffs, bracelets, watches, armwarmers if you go on the punk side of things. you can go bare too. whatever matches your coord best.
>>8998551
pic related looks fine without wristwear
>>8998558
here is gloves plus wristcuffs for an interesting effect

>at introduction to jfash panel
>says ouji is inspired by Victorian fashion
>ouji model is clearly in a Rococo influenced style
just going to share a couple common ouji silhouettes comparing the Victorian and Rococo influences. pic related is closer to a fantasy interpretation of Victorian fashion
>>9012536
whereas pic related borrows more from Rococo, by way of fantasy/history like Rose of Versailles.
these are each iconic silhouettes and even hats for their respective sources of inspiration, and many ouji mix things up, and not all can be identified as being closer to one period or the other. but these are the two most common ouji shapes/looks. just wanted to vent a bit about the difference.
where the neckbeard oujis at
>>9012540
>by way of fantasy/history like Rose of Versailles.
*fantasy/history series, that is.
i kind of like the occassional attempt to use pumpkin pants in a coord with other articles inspired by periods in which men wore puffy pants, like pic related borrowing a few ideas from the Elizabethan era. but usually, ouji coords tend to follow either the "Victorian earl" template (Cain Hargreaves/Ciel Phantomhive) or the "Rococo swashbuckler" template (Oscar de Jarjayes/Andre Grandier/generic pirate).

>>9014198
look for specific items. sometimes brands will list an item as "prince" but generally you will need to dig through each section to find ouji stuff. it's never in its own category.

is this pirate coord beautiful or is it just the lighting

not specifically, but you can find hats in that shape without the embroidery. plain ones can be trimmed yourself to suit the coord; the design on those looks cheaply fast-fashion.

>>9029134
>>9029137
how did i not know about this dude
>>9028196
That's just clown-esque.
>>9029141
>>9029143
probably intended to be, for a carnival/pierrot/jester look. it is not a daily coord
What have happened in tumblr, I mean the palace of princes? It seems some of the members strated to shitpost but why?
>>9034083
i didn't see the damage, but here is a cap of what happened.
feel kind of sick desu, buttcape has been my hero and i don't understand
>>9034101
like what fucking drama could this even be? ghost's tone is a bit suspicious and bitter but buttcape and grimy (if they were the ones) did act like shitheads. what is happening, oujis are supposed to be lovelies
>>9034103
>ghost's tone is a bit suspicious
and i say this partially because i usually get a notification when PoP updates, and it tells me who posted/reblogged, and agentleman has been contributing content also (but it has mostly been ghostin). i don't know, she may just be upset but the "alas for me" is a bit weird.
>>9034101
When I first read about this there were also 3rd member mentioned but it seems he's been taken off the list. So don't lose your hero until this is solved.
>>9034122
k. hoping it was hacks or something rational
>>9034101
from lolita gen
>>9034552
yeah.
well, for new releases there is always Ouji's Armoire. they have been pretty on the ball.
>>9034552
At least some sort of shitposting happened, PoP was reblogging/posting some sort of SJW and feminist stuff few days ago. Also I needed to think who I had followed since the name was changed. So those parts are true.
>>9034101
agentlemandoesnotconga was originally named in that post, too, and now it's suspiciously gone. I'm reserving judgement until more proof is offered, but this seems like it might be a setup.
I always felt second hand embarrassment for the PoP people but this just takes it to a new level.
I'm not sure I even want to follow the new blog.
>>9036443
i like ouji's armoire better because they tend to focus on new releases and professional shoots, often uploading new content. the coord reblogs PoP does are nice but can also be found by following specific tags boystylers use.
and Buttcape's blog will probably continue to be the most reliable source of info once she gets everything back up.
i feel bad for the apparent fallout between friends, but it does not involve me and i will never know which claims or accusations are real. it is difficult to muster a stronger feeling than that.
>>9036443
Just curious, why did you feel second hand embarrassment for them before? I'm not sure I understood what you meant. I agree with you about their current situation though.
>>9004750
I'd like to know about ouji shoes too.
Any places to order big, but not very big sizes? Pref without heels or huge soles?
new AatP. not my style but not half bad, despite the same old trim.
>>9036754
I guess it was things like announcing themselves as guests at a con they created, having merch with their faces on it and etc.
While it doesn't bother other people it always rubbed me the wrong way.
>>9037910
To be more clear: an apparent lack of humility.
My dude wants to do ouji for a tea party, but he has a beard. Should he shave it? He's one of those proud beard guys, ultra groomed and shaped. Tia
>>9037958
The look is boyish so a beard kills the look. But if he looks good he should be able to rock it.
>>9037958
lose the poofy pants and silly hats and you can pull off an aristo look, i only know of one boystyler with a full on long beard but i can't recall his name.
i don't think it's quite right to confine ouji to 'boyish' looks, and i'd be interested in seeing a well groomed beard with a long coat and pants.
>>9037910
That makes sense. The selling merch with their faces on it was a bit much. Thanks for elaborating!
>>9038022
>lose the poofy pants and silly hats and you can pull off an aristo look
>implying
Japanese oujis would like a word with you.
>>9038169
both coords in pic related are marked ouji style. shorts, pants, silly hat, serious hat, it can all be ouji.
>>9037958
>My dude wants to do ouji for a tea party, but he has a beard. Should he shave it?
yes. or trim it and shape/style it. or just wear nice clothes. an ouji or homme aristocrat with a beard is like a lolita or femme aristocrat with a unibrow.
>>9038174
this guy's beard works because he
keeps it super neat, but even then many people may dislike it.
>>9038176
another trimmed beard, this time with stache.
>>9038177
>>9038183
last example. ouji or aristo, trim it or lose it.
>>9038177
He looks like that guy who made castlevina
>>9038157
Np!
I just thought the ouji community wouldn't have Drama until it had way more people.
The drama continues...
>>9040029
TL/DR 'I'm just randomly accusing people without evidence to make them leave PoP to me.'
>>9040029
Here's grimy13's response from twitter.
>>9040040
>>9040055
this comes off as collectively a bit salty to me.
clearly none of them are paying any attention to the group if they don't know there's been an event planned for AN for months, or they're pretending it doesn't exist. grimy's pretty immature so i could see her getting annoyed and reblogging kuroshit yaoi but the others are a bit of a stretch.
>>9040068
If ghostintheforest wasn't kicked out of PoP why isn't she in that picture? She went to their event and AM, as far as I can recall.
>>9040079
She's still claiming to be PoP, hence the members making a point about them not attending Anime North.
>>9040079
Animenorth did not ask PoP before using the picture. So that is why Buttcape is saying that, the only person who is in that picture that went is local and wasn't doing boy style. Notice that ghost isn't in that picture. She didn't go and was kicked out by then.
Gentleman posted on his Tumblr that he did it, mystery solved.
>>9040100
You could tell the guy's a miserable cunt but I'd expected better from him than behaving like a child. baka senpai
>>9040100
>Gentleman posted on his Tumblr that he did it, mystery solved.
might just be memeing
never trust an Australian 4chan user
>>9040055
This isn't a denial, which makes it seem pretty shady. It sounds like she doesn't care what happens to the blog, but she definitely isn't saying she didn't do it.
>>9040100
She wasn't kicked out of pop, just the nightfall event, for shitty reasons. Something about aeryn losing the hotel rooms for some 60 people and the venue, then kicking out the only person who called her out on this.
>>9040100
Ghost was there at nightfall, they just pulled some mean girls shit and invited everyone except her to take the photo
>>9040508
She was there as a paying attendee, not a PoP member.
>tfw love ghost's coords
>tfw love buttcape's
>and gentleman's
>and aeryn's before she stopped
this will not greatly change my opinions of them. i can't care too much about drama when i will never know for sure what happened., especially when i was not involved and have no stake in the conflict outside of morbid curiosity.
>>9040526
pretty sure one of them is gentleman from the level of salt
>>9037575
I would try getting boots from name brand stores. Plenty of ouji just use name brand dress shoes or boots and it seems to work well enough.
>>9040639
Considering what he did to the blog, I'm not sure we should take his word as gospel anon
>>9040660
If you believe he did it why do you not believe his motive of why he did it?
>>9040722
Tbh I don't really care. It looks like she was the only one updating aside from a few sporadic boz posts that he made, and the only one still hosting events. Seems like a bunch of petty infighting that they should have kept to themselves
this Susin release looks basic enough for boyfriends of lolitas to wear without their masculinity feeling threatened.
>>9042947
>without their masculinity feeling threatened
kek
yo so i was at Joann Fabrics and they have this seasonal decor set that looks pretty ouji imo. i have never seen decor that made me think "ouji" before so i wanted to let you guys know.
>>9042947
You managed to put into words why it looks so boring. Thank you.

coord is decent, fit is wrinkly though. and sleeves seem short. and hair needs something. solid idea just a bit off in execution.
