Harajuku

            COLORFUL HARAJUKU

Have any of you guys ever heard of Harajuku? Well if you haven't then you'll discover a  crazy colorful world! A place where nobody is can be called weird or ugly.

Harajuku is a shopping district between Shinjuku and Shibuya. Every Sunday, a bunch of young people will go to Harajuku to hang out and of course most of them will dress up a bit or more like a lot. The picture above is just an example of a tiny portion of the people in Harajuku. As you can see, they aren't dressed like how we would on a regular Sunday. All of the styles of the world unite in this shopping district. Emo, visual kei, goth, lolita, decora, ganguro, hipster, vintage, hip hop, rockers, cosplay, every kind of style you can think of!

Today I will be introducing to you guys some of the most seen fashion styles. So let's start! XD

               KAWAII DECORA
              

Kawaii Decora is probably my most favorite fashion style out of all of them. If you translate it in English, it would be Cute Decoration. It's a very crazy, colorful and overloaded fashion style. The arms are usually full with crazy bracelets and the hair will be full of hair accessories. Usually the clothes are colorful and same with the shoes. Toys and plushies are a big part of Kawaii Decora. Sometimes it's a hair accessory or a bag. OH! I also forgot to mention that they have colorful hair as well. :D

                Visual Kei

Ah~ Visual Kei, I love this style just as much as Kawaii Decora. It's kind of a mix of punk and goth. Their clothes are usually black, red, white, the usual dark colors. It is more crazy and less casual. They tend to have medium length or long hair. The hair's usually  layered and styled like the ones you see above. Of course, some or most of the people will wear makeup. Usually heavy eyeliner and lipstick. Visual Kei is actually quite normal in Japan. Most rock band are either goth or visual kei like Dir En Grey, The Gazette, LM.C, Ayabie, Malice Mizer, etc.

                  Lolita

Lolita is a really elegant and cute style. The clothing involves a lot of frills and ruffly knee high dresses. They use a lot of floral accessories. Also bows and lace are used a lot. Most lolita are either Gothic or bright and cute like the 4 girls in the picture. Simply described, Lolita is a cute and floral princess like style.

So I finally finished introducing to you guys, the three main styles in Harajuku. There is more but I wanted to finish this post before the end of April. I had so much to do this month, I couldn't find anytime to finish this post.
