Oji fashion (オジ・ファッション, ohgee fasshon) also known as Kodona, Boy-style, Old-Man Cute, Ojigaaru, Shonen-kei, Prince-kei, and Ouji, is a Japanese street fashion style. Known as the masculine equivalent of Lolita.[1] Oji fashion is notable for its boxy jackets, baggy trousers, suspenders, and wing-tip shoes.[2]

Oji fashion is separate from lolita fashion due to its lack of cupcake-shaped skirts and petticoat. The word 'oji' is translated into English as both "old-man"[2] and "prince".[3]

Oji is worn by women and men alike, and is often confused with brolitas, which is a colloquial term for people assigned male at birth who wear lolita fashion.[1][3]

Some brands that highlight oji fashion are (Japanese) BABY THE STARS SHINE BRIGHT's sister brand ALICE and the PIRATES[4] and (Chinese) Immortal Thorn.[5]
