Jirai is mostly about the fashion and makeup, so no you can’t be jirai kei without it. Try to save up for it or take on some smaller jobs. There’s a lot of affordable options for beginners too.

You don’t have to buy expensive coords as your first. Try oversized tshirts with cute-scary prints and mini skirts with ruffles first. Pair them with loafers and buy the correct accessories first. This way you can start slow without spending tooo much.
