Surely, many of you have long been familiar with the fashion style that is extremely popular in the big cities of Japan, and even if you did not know what it is called Harajuku, you still undoubtedly saw strange and defiantly dressed girls with flashy makeup.
Harajuku is a trend in Japanese youth fashion. The Harajuku style emerged among teenagers on the streets of Tokyo's Harajuku shopping district, hence the name. Harajuku began when young Japanese people living in the area began incorporating elements of traditional Japanese clothing into their daily attire, such as kimonos and geta (Japanese wooden-soled shoes). Picking up new influences from the West, teenagers have combined typical Western clothes with traditional clothing, and also combined second-hand clothes and designer clothes. From the mixture of all this, the youth direction Harajuku appeared. In this Japanese fashion trend, mixing different styles and incompatible colors is only supported - you can do whatever you want, since your appearance is an expression of your personality.
The clothes of trendy teenagers are emphasized by accessories - belts, earrings, clips, handbags and jewelry. Remember, accessories can be multi-colored, heavy, and it is not at all necessary that they are in harmony with clothes. The appearance is complemented by various creative, one might even say theatrical makeup (funny, scary, bright). You can do crazy hairstyles by braiding pigtails and ponytails, and dyeing your hair is also popular.
It is not possible to single out one "Harajuku style". Many styles have originated and evolved in the streets of the Harajuku area, and many Harajuku girls (as well as boys) incorporate elements of one or more of these styles into one outfit.
Gothic Lolita - adherents of this style combine gothic together with feminine and elegant clothes, resembling a porcelain doll.
Inspired by the punk movement that began in London in the 1970s, Japanese punks emphasize rebelliousness by wearing appropriate clothing, accessories, makeup and piercings.
Cosplay encourages you to dress like your favorite cartoon character or computer game hero.
Decora aficionados prefer bold colors, and are hung with jewelry and accessories from head to toe. They are wearing so much jewelry that you can hear them tinkling as you walk.
Kawaii focuses on childish playfulness - anime characters, pastel colors, toys, and more.
