The Essence of Ouji

Ouji fashion (王子ファッション), also known as "prince style" or "boystyle," is a Japanese street fashion that draws inspiration from European aristocratic menswear, particularly from the Victorian and Rococo eras.

Born from the Lolita fashion movement, Ouji developed as a masculine counterpart, featuring elegant tailoring, rich fabrics, and a regal aesthetic that challenges conventional gender norms in fashion.
