Casual Visual kei looks etc

nothingleft · (#1 (**permalink**))

Hello! I'm interested in Visual kei, however the outfits are often very elaborate etc aka a bit impractical. Do you wear VK every day? If not, when? If so, do you have a casual look? Is it possible to have a more laid back Visual kei look? Where do you get your inspiration for looks from?

Also, this is the random bit at the end- accesories and shoes. I know accesories are pretty important to VK, what sort do you reccomend? And shoes...do you know where to get those boots that aren't quite knee high? Like despairs ray wear on their pictures for Brilliant. They seem quite awesome

Thanks!

I think being a casual VK would be the most difficult thing to do, since VK is the perfect opposite of casual. If you tone it down just a little bit it's hard to tell that your style is actually VK at all. You could go for things that are VK inspired - a layered haircut, accessories and so on, but since the point in being VK is to be elaborate your going to have a difficult job.

in VK style, you should wear so many accessories, right?

Hm...I have seen alot of plastic tree and yeah- their style is more symplistic but really nice.

I can also understand that toning it down wouldn't be really visual kei. I supose then I'm not looking to be "true" visual kei but to wear something more visual kei inspired. Something laid back but at the same influenced by the styles and accesories of Visual kei- as you said.

I would wear belts...if only I could find some to fit me >.<
Being my size its hard to find anything good here, all the good clothing is for the damn skinny people..I hope no skinny people hate me for saying that but its true.
It just really annoys me that plus size people dont get anyting remotely good to wear...
And I'm totally knew to both VK and Gothic Lolita, I'm saving my money to buy some clothing from ebay or something..so I'm up for any tips =]

I hope you don't hate me for saying-why not try mens belts?

And it must be Australia caus' in the UK you get quite alot of bigger sizes, as well as different lengths of clothes and stuff.
