How To Dress Jirai Kei

Hello,  I’m going to attempt to explain the simpler, basic outfits you can try for Jirai Kei. I hope this will be helpful!

First, the most classic way to wear jirai kei! Black+ pink, A black or pink blouse with the opposite color skirt. The more intricate and beautiful it is the better but do not feel pressure to search for the more detailed clothes, Simpler clothes will work too if the color are correct. Just make sure the blouse is on the fancier side, as for the skirt it can be plain.  

The black skirt, pink blouse and big bow  look is very classic. Especially decorated with the iconic twin-tail hair style! I love how this person used a watch to replace the Jirai Kei, menhera bracelet, very cute.  

If you don’t like Pink that’s fine!  A black and white outfit is also very classic Jirai. In this photo you can also see the new “Jirai” styled shorts. 

Dusky pink is the most common “color” to have, but is not the only color you can use. Darker pinks, Reds, Purple and dusky gray blues are also very common in Jirai Kei.

A single solid color is also very common!  if it’s all black it’s already Jirai! if it’s pink or any other color, usually pairing it with Black and other aspects of Jirai kei tend to make it more recognizable as the fashion.

Skirts and dresses don’t have rules for length. But the shape of the skirt can change the vibe.  Puffy dresses are a girls dream, but you might want to put them aside for this fashion. More closer fit dresses and skirts, pencil skirts, and gentle A-lines are common for the fashion, as it’s a more mature fashion.

Patterns exist in Jirai kei, not so much prints but they have been trying to include those lately. The patterns tend to be checkered, lined or any simple design that will look good in black and white or gray.

Those patterns can be used on the skirt or blouse. And sometimes it comes in colors, like blue or pink.  Brown isn’t really a color used in Jirai Kei, but I have seen some really good outfits in brown too.

Some examples

More examples 

If you’re not super girly, or like skirts or dresses, there is an option to wear an oversized big shirt with a print on it, usually it’s a bear print and distorted. Here’s an example with just cute colorful bears and no negative aspects. Paired with the classic Jirai Kei back pack.

Repetitive patterns oversized T-shirts or button downs are very common! Jackets tend to have this pattern too. Bears seem to be a big theme…

Examples

As for jackets, oversized soft jackets tend to be the trend, in any color that suits the outfit. White, Pink and Black tend to be the obvious trends.

They tend to be soft, so no puffer.

Another option is an oversized Listen Flavor patterned jackets, for a similar vibe as a patterned shirt. They’re usually decorated with bears or some other cute illustration. It doesn’t have to be Listen Flavor but it’s the easiest place to find them.

As for shoes, platform loafers or platformed shoes tend to be the most common shoes. I’ve seen variations of shoes but something similar to this vibe would be perfect. I myself am very tall for my country (not so much in Europe or America) so I prefer to not wear platforms, instead I just wear similar styled flat shoes.

MCM light pink backpack is Iconic for Jirai Kei. Even if you don’t have any other clothes or Items that suit Jirai Kei, this bag will will transform any outfit to look Jirai Kei!

Size varies based on your needs, preference and ability to afford. Light pink tends to be the most Iconic color but other colors work too. I cannot afford one of these, so I bought a fake. Sadly even fakes aren’t sold here, luckily I found a bubblegum pink one and I’m happy with it despite being the wrong color.

If you don’t fancy pink, there are other options. Black, White and even Red are very common too!

If you can’t afford or find an MCM backpack don’t worry! Any other backpack with a similar vibe will work just fine.

The other most common bag is this Maison de FLEUR tote bag.

If none of those are to your liking, that is still okay!  Any purse will work, as long as it’s in the right colors or at least the classic black.

Hair pins. A single Sanrio Hair Pin on your bangs or hair will make any look more Jirai Kei.

Ribbon Ribbon Ribbon! Everywhere! on your hair! on your clothes! even on your shoes. It will spice up your look and make it look more Jirai Kei.

Strong Zero, an alcoholic drink that has become an accessory.

So has pink monster! Specifically Pipline Punch.

Anything brand, even if it’s fake. Showing off you have money is part of the fashion. Sitting down like that, is the most common pose for pictures, it makes you seem small and cute~ Another common pose is to show off that you are drunk (because of strong zero!) so you stumble down the stairs or crash on the floor. 

As for hair, Twin tails, colored hair, girly styles, streaks, warm colors, (pink, red, purple) and hair down tend to be the most common. Some people bleach their hair a beige blond. Another thing this girl is showing off is the vivienne westwood necklace that has taken a strong come back in this fashion.

Fashion change and evolve all the time, so some things might not be accurate or change with time. As for right now these are the more common and classic easy ways to wear Jirai Kei. I hope this was useful and helpful to someone! Good Luck~!  Feel free to ask me any questions about the fashion and I’ll try to answer to my best abilities! thank you for reading.

Article on Jirai, Ryousangata, and Girly

I cowrote an article (with two people who wish to remain anonymous due to harassment concerns) about the history of girly kei, including larme, jirai kei, ryousangata, and more than 50 sources, almost all Japanese. (There's even more if you consider the translated infographics). If you're interested in anything I mentioned, please give it a read! 💜

[bunniieats]

shamelessly stole this from edanonymemes

[bunniieats]

do you ever get in those moods where you don’t know how to feel and everything kinda feels mixed up and you’re just sitting there alone in your room trying to figure out what the fuck is wrong with you

[bunniieats]

the way im actually so fucking annoying

[bunniieats]

I wanna kill myself. Sure there’s things to live for, but everyday they become less worth all the suffering I endure.

My life isn’t even that bad. I feel like I’m just really fucking pathetic and can’t do anything right.

[bunniieats]

you ever like want to take a nice soothing shower but can’t stand looking at yourself? rb if u feel the same<3

[bunniieats]

this is for the people who went through trauma and didn’t come out of it with thicker skin. but, instead, came back with sensitivity to the world and a deep sadness that won’t go away. some of us went through something and lost a piece of ourselves; our broken hearts never healed quite right afterwards. i see you and i feel you and i am you. it’s going to be okay.
