So, I’ve been reserching Japan for school, and I thought I might put some of my findings on my blog. Ummm… Which one to choose… Ok, how about street fashions. I have two favorites, Lolita, and Decora. There’s so many kinds of Lolita, so I’ll just pick two. #1, Classic Lolita.Classic Lolita is the more mature looking one. The shoes and jewelry are more functional than what is seen in the other fashions. Empire waist dresses and slimmer dress silhouettes add to the mature look. #2, Wa Lolita (Waloli). The top is the same design as a traditional kimono with a Lolita style skirt (All frilly like). Decora! This one is another one of my favorites, cause it’s super kawaii (Kawaii is the Japanese word for cute. Do not mistake it for kowaii, which means scary.)! the style is like this, loud socks, colorful clothing, and accessories from head to toe. Hehe, the accessories are funny! 20+ hair barrettes, plastic toys (Wands and stuff like that) and jewelry (Which click together and make noise as the wearer moves), and giant fuzzy purses! The style has been mistakenly called “Fruits-style” by people outside of Japan. Maybe it’s because the fashion is featured in FRUiTS magazine. Who knows… Pssh, that’s about it.
