Japan fashion culture is very unique!!
5) Mode-Kei(モード系）: The Mode Style
Mode-Kei is quite similar to the Kirei-Kei, because it mainly focuses on utilizing simple, clean colors like black, white, and grey.
However the crucial difference between Kirei-Kei and Mode-Kei is that Mode-Kei emphasizes strength and coolness of a woman, unlike Kirei-Kei which focuses more on the feminine part. Mode-Kei followers match strong impact colors (Royal Blue, Red) as the key point of their outfit.
Can you differentiate the main idea that Mode-Kei and Kirei-Kei want to express?
6) Hi-me Gyaru-Kei(姫ギャル系): The Princess Gyaru Style
This is probably the most unique style that is only available in Japan, which happens to be the first style that caught my attention.
The idea of this style is very simple, which is just simply over-decorate yourself! Maximize the volume of your hair, makeup, and accessories, then you are mostly done!! Use all the beauty tools to make you look outstanding as possible.
Big contact lenses, shimmering eye shadows, blonde hair color helps a lot in creating this Hime-Gyaru style.
Hime means Princess in Japanese, which means use all the overly-decorated items to groom yourself like a princess!
7) Urahara-Kei（裏原系）: The Backstreet Harajuku Style
The Urahara-Kei is a kind of fashion that mixes all kinds of fashionable elements and express it through street wears.
Urahara-Kei fashionistas are usually very fond in mix-matching, creating impressive outfits even with vintage items.
You can see the Urahara-Kei fashionistas hanging around behind Takenoshita Dori, Harajuku all the time.
The common items they use for styling are vintage denims, rucksacks and sneakers.
Besides, over-sized jackets and loose fit t-shirts are also essential elements for the Urahara-Kei.
If you are reluctant to skin and body line exposure and favor comfortability, this will probably be the best choice for you!
(Siah’s friendly hint : Urahara-Kei is an ideal style for university students isn’t it?)
8) Others
Because of time and word restrictions, there are still many kinds of styles such as the Cele-Kashi Kei(the celebrity casual style) and the Mori-GaRu-Kei (the forest girl style) that are quite popular among young girls in Japan, which I have not been able to mention yet.
Other than that, I will explain some unique and exclusive styles like the Lolita, Kera, Gothic in the future.
There are still many unique and wonderful styles in Japan that I can’t wait to share with you!
