Ganji Fashion.

I'm sorry if this has been brought up in the past; I searched already for about an hour and nothing like this really came up. I also apologize if this doesn't belong as a new thread. I thought that ganji style doesn't really fit in as "fob" style, because ... it's not really "fob". (ex. Fob for girls is kind of more girly, while for girls for ganji style are more tomboyish). It's just worn by fobs. Well, certain fobs.

What is "Ganji" Style?

Hah, I can't explain it very well. Sorry - 3-, I suck at explaining. But usually when people use it towards you, they mean you have very good style. (I believe it's actually a Japanese word?) It's sort of like "well coordinated hiphop" fashion (*streetwear ^^). Most of the times, famous brands are worn and/or displayed in the pictures of the said fashion. Brands such as, Adidas (Trefoil logo), Nike, STUSSY, SAKUN, Converse, New Era 59Fifty caps (often New York Yankees), Polo Ralph Lauren, Levis, DC, Louis Vuitton, Zoo York, Vans, etc. all the $$$$ brands D:

Certain articles of clothing or accessories are also worn like big "nerd" glasses, cargo pants, certain brands+types of shoes (Nike AF, Nike Dunks, Adidas Superstars, etc.), tags, Polos, baggy jeans, D-SLR cameras (Nikon, Canon), Polaroids, watches, backpacks, big bags, etc.

Hairstyles, for girls, are...somewhat a part of the style. Straight/blunt bangs that are often short and sometimes hair that is partially tied up like in some of the pictures. teasing & volume. for guys, long--but not super long--hair.

Famous ulzzangs such as Kim Boram and Ban Yoonhee (as shown below) have made this type of style pretty popular in Korea. I believe it started somewhere around 2005-2006?

Examples! (Lots of them.)

I know a LOT of people who don't like the style very much and I can see where they come from.

I like it though, it appeals to me for some reason. I noticed the style in the summer of 2006 when I was back in Korea. ^^

Although I don't see it mentioned here a lot in Soompi ;;; so I guess it's not that known here? I see a lot of contests on Myspace, though. ^^;

Well, at least someone should I know what I'm talking about. >_< Or..I'm alone on this. Eh. Anyway. You'll learn something new. (:

Any more pictures? Comments? [Nice] Critisism?

i wish i could dress like that

my body is too flabby

hmm, weird, i always thought this was more of a korean fashion...we get a lot of japanese tourists here, and they usually wear fobby clothes or punk rock-ish clothes (but girly).

LOVE THIS STYLE !!!

I will sure wear da style I can be slimmer

this style is cool!...but i doubt ill ever pull it off. next time i go out..ill try to dress somewhat like this. LOL!..perfect! i just have to steal my bro's clothes.

I think it looks good on guys but not on gurlss =P

I just adore it! I do dress like this sometimes =P

never new the name of this style....

lol well ganji is uber hot on guys ^^

reminds me of like the skater boy style but with like brand named clothes

It looks really cool tho, would love to wear it!

i see alot of hk ppl dressed like that

i love this style but my legs are too long to look good in baggy jeans -__-

its sad!

You mean "streetwear" right?

haha

I will sure wear da style I can be slimmer

on girls? on the contrary, they look fat in those 'cuz of the bagginess

^ baggy clothes can make you look thinner. It works for me. I guess it's different for different people.

^most "big" people look worse in baggy clothes...they look better in formfitting (BUT NOT NECESSARILY TIGHT!) and thicker fabrics (nothing like spandex and stuff...they just show every roll). think about it...

the shape of a big girl in baggy clothes: big piece of paper

the shape of a big girl in form fitting clothes: a peanut?

if you look at these shapes in 2d, which one looks skinnier?

the peanut...

so you go girl, you wear that peanut.

i would dress like that but ..

theres not many clothes like that for girls around my area oO "

the only reason these girls can pull it off is cuz they're small and skinny..

if I was like them, I'd wear this style (sometimes).

the guys are looking HOT though.. hehe <3

muchlove!
