ARISTOCRAT (FASHION)

'Aristocrat' (or 'Madam' when referring to the feminine version of the fashion) is a Japanese fashion that is inspired by what is thought to be worn by European Middle Class and above status persons in the Middle Ages and by fashion worn by the upper class in the 19th Century. The fashion includes long sleeve blouses and shirts, long skirts, corsetry, pants and dresses that are styled similarly for men and women, since it is centered on androgyny and elegance. Make-up, when worn with the fashion, is on the darker side, may be heavy and can be worn by both genders.
Subcategories of the fashion include:

★ Erotic (Ero) Aristocrat: A more revealing version including lace and lower necklines.

★ Gothic Aristocrat

★ Sweet Aristocrat: Usually features pastels, light colors and a lighter feel.
