    Fair enough - just google gothic lolita in wiki to find some pics of that.

    My style is a combination of a host - http://www.frenchkiss-group.jp/

    with more rock elements -

    In fact I own the jeans, boots and jacket from the pic above. So imagine a foreigner with long hair and that is pretty much me.

    Next - GaijinPunch if he dressed like me -

    finally a quick reference to how skinny some Japanese guys want to be, here is a mate of mine -

    Scary.....


    EDIT - Please do not think that Harajuku fashion is just the crazy loli visual shit. My style is still Harajuku style just a different area of Harajuku. The visual stuff is just Takeshita, outside that there is cool manly biker rock-star looks to get involved with.

    @Warakia: They are dark blue and kinda round rectangle....

    Can the male lolita clothes be modified to have sailor stripes or something? Or it might make it more female-like.... hmm...

    bhl88 - loli style is VERY feminine anyway. You are going to look feminine no-matter what you do! You may as well embrace it! If you are going for a strong look just go for it 100 percent. Whats the point in holding back, you should get every detail as you want it to be. Just a quick warning though - Loli style is rare outside of Harajuku! People outside harajuku are usually with friends or girlfriend dressing the same way. It is like no-one really cosplays out of Akiba.

    On the glasses issue. Just get some contacts or glasses in harajuku if you don't think they will match.

    As for my style. Taking care of your skin and caring about what you look like, does not necessarily make you feminine! You can still look very alpha-male while taking care where both you and girls will appreciate it.

    What color matches with dark blue and rectangle?

    Actually I'm going for it since I'm the black sheep in my class anyway.... as for the stripes... nvm... it might increase it (female-like) to the 3rd power or would it? (Says that Male Lolita is for both genders...)

    Why not dress in a style like Warakia showed? That's pretty awesome.

    bhl88, if you posted a photo of you we perhaps could find an appropiate style.

    The beard is gone! And my wife and kid haven't been driving me to alcohol, so I'm a similar frame to this guy. ;)

    That was a pretty good find though, Warakia.

    You know, I'm not against accessories. The thing is I just lose everything. I've got a watch I've had for 18 months, and I swear it's my all time record. The three I had before that lasted a month each.

    Check out the Japanese high-end streetwear scene, it's awesome. Neighborhood, Wtaps, Mastermind Japan, Bathing Ape, Visvim, Hiroshi Fujiwara etcetera.

    Looks like your average 20 something salaryman coming off from a hard day at the office pretending to work for the rest of the day.

    Pro office gamers play spider solitaire!

    Man, I haven't played solitaire in forever. Remember when a lot of PC games had boss buttons?
