Fun Cute Harajuku Girl Costumes
While Gwen Stefani may have made the Harajuku Girl a household name in her music videos, now you can create the styles of the Harajuku district in Japan with your very own Harajuku Girl costume.
The Harajuku style evolved from Harajuku, Japan, where many world class fashion designers come to create and play. As a result, Harajuku style is a potpourri of styles that combines every influence from both Eastern and Western designers.
The Gothic Lolita style is perhaps the most elegant in its simplicity. Dark colors prevail, with billowing skirts, dark hose, frills and button up or lace up boots and even a black brimmed hat. The Sweet Lolita, on the other hand, uses light colors and plays on imagery from fairy tale figures such as Little Miss Muffet or Bo Peep to bring a child like innocence to the look.
While some will opt for the Punk look, complete with chains, zippers, dark colors and even plaids, they do not embrace it as a philosophy, only as a fun way to dress. Likewise, some Japanese teens will wear the Ganguro style, which is based on their perception of what a typical American teen might wear, and may include wearing false eyelashes and finger nails, as well as bleaching their hair. Both girls and boys will wear the punk look with success.
Some harajuku costumes involve actually dressing as an iconic person or character from a band, movie, game, manga or anime. These types of costumes are called Cosplay. Dress up like your favorite fictional person.
No matter which Harajuku style you choose, there are some basics to consider. Layering is first and foremost. For example, you might wear a tank top with a blouse and then a jacket or vest or both. Rather than wearing one skirt, wear another with it in a contrasting color or pattern. Add leg warmers, socks and even leggings to add more visual confusion.
In all Harajuku style, accessories are very important. For the Decora style, it is the defining principle. Add design elements that complement or contrast with the other parts of your costume. Things like jewellery, earrings, belts, buttons, toys, hair clips and hand bags can all add to your expression of your individuality. And that, for certain, will make your Harajuku Girl Costume uniquely yours.
