What should I wear to a VK live?

 This has been a frequent topic lately, and for some reason there seems to be a misconception amongst newer fans that you need to wear "VK clothing" to be considered a fan, while many VK fans tend to be alternative it has never been required to dress a certain way. Years ago it was pretty common for bangya to wear gyaru or heavier styles, especially if you browsed Tokyo Fashion's blog, cosplaying bandmen was also pretty common at specific lives but not done as much lately, nowadays many fans wear a variety of styles, even kimono or yukata for winter/summer lives!

Besides the larger lives I went to such as DEZERT and Kizu, majority of the fans at smaller lives were all women who wore a mix of jirai/ryousangata, tour shirts of the band and any other items they sell, even some oldschool lolitas I follow dressed up casually but it's honestly up to you and how comfortable you feel standing out (and standing for 2+ hours) if you want to dress up, but you should also consider the feelings and safety of other people, you don't want to wear something that takes up a lot of space such as lolita like some girls do at some lives and you also don't want to wear platforms/heels that are too high with the risk of injuring yourself or someone else in case of an emergency, especially since more bands and venues have started posting a lot about livehouse manners and what kinda of clothing/items may be banned so be mindful of that!

Personally I'm a little extra and enjoy wearing alternative fashion so I tended to stand out a little bit more in comparison to other people at most of the lives I went to and was even complimented by some bandmen so if you really want to look nice, these are brands I wear often:

Sex Pot Revenge 
Travas Tokyo 
ACDC RAG
Listen Flavor 
NieR
KRY
