if you want to wear oshare kei fashion, you've got to wear sexpotrevenge. sexpotrevenge is a new harajuku punk brand, and the stuff is so great. some of the stuff are also designed by oshare bands, like an cafe<3 and i think 12012, along with some others. it's actually on the cheaper side of japanese fashion, but prices have gone up due to the popularity. if you live outside of tokyo you're gonna have to buy from cdjapan.co.jp but warning they're slow at restocking and shipping and handling is a biznatch. x_O

Yeah, SEX POT ReVeNGE is a really god clothing label. You can buy their stuff here: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/apparel/sexpot.html

And I also recommend Lokisa (http://lokisa.com/).

umm I would say that sex pot revenge is visual kei not oshare kei !
If its oshare i would recomend putumayo ..

Wow, this stuff looks a little dark to me. I mean, it's oshare kei, but I think of An Cafe when I hear oshare kei and almost everything on those sites is dark. Where are all the cute An Cafe clothes?

Um, I would personally avoid LoKisa. Just putting that out there.

I don't know of any specifically Oshare brands (besides Putumayo, which was already been mentioned). However, AsiaJam.com has some stuff that could work. Also, check your local thrift and consignment shops. They can be goldmines for clothes.

For oshare brands, instead of buying/looking for mainly SexPotRevenge, I'd recomment brands like Listen Flavor or Super Lovers - they carry more colorful things. SexPot is more suitable for visual kei, in my opinion, since their stuff is darker and mostly black xD (They do have some "trippy colored" prints though, especially on their t-shirts/cutsews, which of course can be used in oshare kei)

Other brands I'd look at are Algonquins, 6% DOKI DOKI, HELLCATPUNKS, etc.

Of course offbrands can be considered, it's all about the overall looks and not the brand name - I'm giving these brands so you can see what kinds of designs are commonly used in the style!
