I made a weak attempt to keep away from gothic styles when I started get back into punk, even though I was a hint goth back in late high school/college days. It didn’t last long.
Ozz On has a variety of sub lines, ranging from Oneste, Angelo, Hikozoh, Conte, Croce, Rozen Kavalier… And seems to be expanding now in 2023, Desoro with the fully Made In Japan line!
I’ll straight up say that Croce is my favorite! My Yokohama biases are showing!
I’m wearing not a good pair of pants to go with this, but as an example~ Thisbit was on the “pricey” end for me at 4,950 but considering it came with the arm warmers that can be used separately and it looks THIS GOOD, it’s still a killer deal ^o^
This piece is still in the works as I’m collecting parts for a certain look, but to break it down… @_@
-Croce Long Vest 8,030
-Croce Shrug 12,100
-Oneste Jabot 3,300
-Croce mesh long shirt 2,530
TBC: belt/corset, skirt/pants
Rozen Kavalier long cardigan for 1,650! It has good pockets, a gem-studded feather design on the back, and an extra strand that acts as a belt if so desired. One of my happiest finds ^^
Someone feel free to enlighten me better if I have things mixed up, but I feel like Oneste is a budget version of Croce in most situations, or at best a “side grade” (but I personally prefer Croce much more)…
Once in a while, I see something that is very much similar, like these long vest listings:
Croce:
Oneste:
In this particular case, I would see it as an actual side-grade since they’re both pretty wonderful… But given the choice, I go with Croce for the punkier edge and the dragon embroidery~
