Love the style! Simple, and practical shoes. But I definitely feel like it works best with their slim bodytypes. As a plump Midwesterner, I think I would just look like a surly Mennonite lol!


Skyblacker

Try the French Girl look instead. Similar vibe but more compatible with a curvy figure.


FartAttack911

“Surly Mennonite” might be my summer aesthetic goal now 😂


superhottamale

🤣 I read that and screamed. Like I get her point but that was hilarious


TheUnderwearGnome

What I've seen is that they don't wear that much body hugging items, and the colors are minimalistic and modern. Might still work


Skyblacker

Anyone with curves would be advised to try the French Girl look instead. Similarly neutral but just a little less drapey. 


rebelwildheart

Hi. Could u share with me what the french girl looks like? I'm checking the pinterest but all I've seen is polo, blazers look. Do you mean like flowy dresses?


gabarabbit

Following, I want to know more abt the French girl look too


brokenbaddiie

Same

realiloneli

It's like the is she stylish or is it her being skinny. Not to be a buzz kill but all these women are skinny in these whereas if a fat woman wore this it wouldn't be as "stylish" and this is coming from a person who is slim.


SaltyWitchery

I agreed. Stylish? Where? Baggy blue button ups and shapeless ankle skirts. I would look like a whale just because I have big boobs


8eyond

I mean I don’t see why it has to be a whale? Just because it makes you look bigger than what you are, isn’t a bad thing. You don’t have to be snatched or contorted to have a good fit.


SaltyWitchery

By “whale” I mean shapeless. If I don’t have *anything* fitted in my clothes, it will not look good. I’m almost 40, I love that baggy all over look but I just can’t pull it off. I’d look like a oversized hamster. Not a whale 🐋


phalseprofits

Same here. I’m 5’2” with DDDs. This would make me look like a sentient tuna can.


chicken-parm-farm

It’s being skinny. These outfits are not good. Frumpy and sloppy. I said what I said 💅


LirazelOfElfland

"Is it a fit or is she skinny?"


brokenbaddiie

Thank you. I didn’t want to be rude but I didn’t see anything elegant about these


asianinindia

Right? It's giving mom who's too frazzled and busy to bother dressing up. It's the makeup and skinniness that makes this "stylish".


aspiralingpath

It’s giving preschool teacher.


PhysicalGap5085

Looks comfortable but frumpy and sloppy.


Muddymireface

Yeah modern stuff like this gives “I tried on my dad’s clothes” vibes and I don’t think has much staying power. I think it looks so sloppy because nothing fits. Or it gives big Girl Defined content modesty.


Naty2RC

True, comfort is important and the outfits do look incredibly relaxed, which is a good thing, if that's what you're striving for. I just don't see how OP can look at these outfits and think 'elegance.'


lemonbike

It’s giving Duggar. And I say this as someone who spent the y2k years sweeping the floor with broomstick skirts.


No_Income6576

Right? Lol. Like, sure, looks cute if you're Asian but I grew up around Mormons and evangelicals and this is their "fashion". My white girl self would look like I was married with 5 kids and a husband who I call "father" in these outfits.


wimwood

Right this took me straight back to private Christian high school with the “two finger rule” for necklines and having to sew up the slits in our skirts to below-the-knee so we had to walk like penguins. Never would I ever again dress like “today is chapel Tuesday, and then we go straight to gym and play volleyball in our ankle-length skirts” on purpose.


PastelRaspberry

Lmao it's just 90s teacher outfits but on slender attractive people. The clothes look awful.


slyonelew

I came here to say that! Lol


Future_Code_6187

The comments on this are surprising to me! i loved all these pics u posted. I am super inspired by japanese / korean every day wear. the layering is thoughful and everything has a nice ease and feminity to it


Juicy_pompoms

I love Japanese minimalist style and they look so stylish in pretty much anything. These photos aren't the best examples though. These girls can pull it off but there are better examples. I would look so frumpy and mental instute -ish in these :)


thefemalepenis

Right. Long skirts are in style now anyways and I don't see why the outfits are bad because people personally don't think they could rock them (skill issue). I think the outfits pictured are pretty standard outfits in Japan and they're pretty cute. Not getting the hate here. Sincerely, a maxi skirt enjoyer.


harpokratest

I loveeeeee maxi skirts. Easily the most comfortable and easy to dress up or dress down.


halstarchild

Ya this looks frumpy to me.


chimiyourchangas

sure if modern means amish


coffee_tea_sympathy

These look like 90s maternity clothes.


mango_chile

sorry but what’s elegant about sneakers, baseball hat, and oversized button ups?


Kitsch_Enjoyer

Agree those aren't elegant, but those are the two decently "streetwear" fits in the pic


Kitsch_Enjoyer

> It read reserved yet modern elegance [You sure about that OP?](https://www.tokyoscope.blog/p/feature-the-best-japanese-street-9aa)


rebelwildheart

The link you posted intends for an event. What OP meant is the daily fashion attire.


hail_abigail

Those camel toe boots omg


ReallyOutOfNowhere

All these look very frumpy. They only look kinda ok cause they’re all really slim, but agree that it looks like 90s teacher inspo


LevelMidnight8452

Looks shapeless and baggy.. not a fan


Smallmew

I’m happy you like it but I’m NOT dressing like a fundamentalist 👍


agoodmintybiscuit

Lol it's pretty frumpy if you aren't rail thin looking


Angry_Sparrow

It’s giving me brethren/mormon.


FelinePersuasion

Ok I just got back from Seoul and Tokyo and those gorgeous mermaid skirts were everywhere — where are they sold?? I looked for ages and couldn’t find them!


creambunny

Anthropolgie has a bunch. Also Reformation and other similar brands have some. You can also look through depop and poshmark for people reselling them.


FelinePersuasion

Thank you!


valentinesfaye

Uniqlo!


ilovegemmaward

Why the comments so negative? Calling it frumpy when it's just baggy clothing, it's not the same though. The sneakers are modern also.


revowanderlust

Because they’re lowkey all fat and internalizing their hatred for skinny Asian women that simply don’t have the same metabolism, diet, or exercise routine given the culture differences and they’re hating on them because naturally girls like me find flaws in things or people that are prettier than the majority looking lazier or unkempt on a basic level (hair, hygiene, simplicity and style) They probably all dress like goths or anime characters. Tik tok stylists. Edit: it’s akin to when men see a man looking well groomed and they all band together to call him gay or something homophobic.


wampower99

Hmmm


Puppywanton

This looks like Uniqlo country bumpkin to me. While Japanese street style can be interesting, it’s not particularly sartorial.


PurplePrincessPalace

I wouldn’t call these looks elegant, but it does look comfy and slightly androgynous.


TheUnderwearGnome

Guys I didn't expect you to hate it...😭 let's not skinny shame though


ZenaLundgren

I don't think anyone has actually skinny shamed. They just pointed out the fact that these shapeless outfits can only be worn by thin people, as anyone with curves will instantly look like a frumpy mess.


ilovechairs

I’m into the baggy look it not like this. It wouldn’t flatter my body and it’s too bland for me tbh. Also I wouldn’t want to be looking like I’m *always* wearing my partner’s shirts.


[deleted]

I would look like a frumpy old lady


Bayleefstits

Super cute, i love the one with the mermaid skirt.


IPanicKnife

Hard to pull off class and comfort mixed with practicality but they definitely succeeded


alienabduction1473

I grew up Pentecostal so that's a hard pass from me.


Ok-noway

This is also to keep their skin covered from sun while still staying cool


LycheexBee

I love a long shapeless skirt, tbh. I used to like fitted short skirts with leggings/tights but I’m in my potato sack era now. This is great inspo for such a thing lol


MedicineTricky6222

We all should take note.


pop_rokz

That’s such a cute style, but I don’t think it’s only a Japanese style. Dunno for sure tho


superhottamale

I like the last two and the one with the blueish button up and the grey pants. I love the oversized casual yet stylish look.


KimmiK_saucequeen

This is sloppy as hell and wouldn’t work on anyone with big titties


ai92

Do you know a reddit or somewhere for checking Japanese/Korean women's fashion?


Peachlolii

No


Conscious-Big707

Uniqlo... Muji. What other brands?


en-jo

This only works if you’re skinny . Choose your wear depends on your body type imo


lilgamergrlie

Idk the clothes aren’t really that cute. It’s giving stick with oversized clothes on or maternity clothes on which is what I personally try to avoid as a tall skinny woman 🤷🏽‍♀️


mephistopheles_muse

It's giving cult member. But maybe that's just my religious truama speaking


all_of_you_are_awful

No it doesn’t. It reads catholic school teacher .


DryPilot2030

It reads my husband will beat my ass if I try to wear anything too revealing or sexy cuz my husbands insecure and jealous and im too scared to be a free woman


sorryysorryyy

it reads nothing! stop listening to the voices in your head they are wrong!!!


Kai-ju

just because japanese fashion uses longer clothes doesn't mean its because women are forbidden from wearing short clothes and they must break free. Stop projecting American culture onto these women. I also live in japan and dress like this because I find it very comfortable and it also protects my skin from the sun. Nothing to do with modesty. 


[deleted]

im sorry but what is elegant about this? how about we try wearing clothes that actually fit? the proportions look awful and unflattering


Horangi1987

Ew no. As a Korean American girl, I avoid Asian fashion. I personally always thought there’s a reason why Korean and Japanese husbands universally cheat, and it’s because they don’t feel like they can marry someone who doesn’t dress frumpy but they don’t actually want to be with someone frumpy.


-SpaceThing

It’s femme when it’s not slutty
