- Harajuku Gothic fashion Lolita
A Lolita with a heavy influence from Victorian Goth style. Gothic Lolita (also called Goth-Lolita or Gothloli) usually wears dark colors. It's a hard to digest, eclectic mix of cute and punk, with miniskirts, ribbons and lace trims, boots, skull-motif accessories, and stud belts !!
Gothic Lolita outfits are sometimes accessorized with Teddy bears made out of black leather or PVC !!!
- Sweet Lolita
That's a childlike version, mostly characterized by pastel colors and fairy tale themes. They look like Porcelain dolls. Hello Kitty is also a big inspiration. This look is accessorized by head bows, cute purses, pink lace parasols and stuffed animals. Outfits are accessorized with plastic toys that clink together to add an acoustic dimension.
- Punk Lolita
A mix of Punk into Lolita.
- Ganguro
The Ganguro Harajuku style has a typical look - brightly colored outfits, mini-skirts, and bleached hair, fake tan, fake eyelashes, and platform shoes.
Some of the girls are so dark and orange that it is hard to see their features, so they highlight their noses and cheekbones with silver or white make up.
- Kogal
Very similar to Ganguro, but not to be confused with it. The Kogal Harajuku Girl is more influenced by American fashion. They try to transform themselves into the American look.
- Visual Kei
A style very popular within the entertainment field in Japan. This style deliberately creates an androgynous look. It consists of striking makeup, very eccentric hair colors and a very loud outfits.
Harajuku Cosplay
comes from the words costume + play. Tokyo teens wear cosplay costumes and accessories to become characters from Manga, Anime and video games.
Most Tokyo teens do not consider their Harajuku clothing sexual. They think of their Cosplay costumes as Victorian children or baby dolls, and perceive themselves as cute rather than sexy.
