Gyaru Fashion
Gyaru fashion is a type of Japanese fashion that originated in Shibuya that is supposed to rebel against Japanese beauty standards. It has many substyles such as agejo, yamanba, tsuyome, hime. rokku etc. The key components of the fashion depends on what substyle you choose to participate in, but universally you have to wear makeup to be gal (term used to describe people usually fem who dress in the fashion). Gyaru makeup is typically dramatic and consists of spiked top lashes, a drooping eye affect created with eyeliner, a white nose stripe and bottom lashes, the severity of the look also depends on the substyle.
Styles like yamanba consists of having a tan, colourful or bleached hair with heavy makeup like big lashes and more makeup around the eyes and nose.
While hime gyaru still has the spiked lashes, and you don’t need to tan to be hime gyaru and the makeup isn’t as dramaic as yamanba gyaru, yet it still has the same look and still reads as gal.
A lot of gals tend to wear eye contacts to make their makeup look more exaggerated, but it isn’t necessary to wear them to be considered as gyaru.
There are fashion magazines dedicated to the fashion, one of the most popular being EGG which is still active to this day. These magazines were used to show the most popular coordinates (the term “coordinate” is used to describe outfits in the j-fashion scene, with coordinate being a shortened version of the term “coordinated outfit”) and makeup looks at the time.
Some gyaru models who are featured in these magazines still participate in the style to this day!
For the clothes, there aren’t necessarily clothes that are made for the gyaru fashion like how particular dresses are made for lolita fashion. The clothes you wear as a gyaru also depend on your substyle like the makeup you choose to do. You typically see people who participate in the tsuyome substyle wear cheetah printed clothes, jeans pants or shorts, fur boots, big belts. While gals who wear agejo mostly wear pink patterned clothes, zebra prints, big bows There are some brands that a lot of gyarus used to wear back in the 90s and 2000s which include D.I.A, Liz Lisa, MA*RS, Alba Rosa, Ank Rouge, etc. Some of these brands still exists but have moved on from their old designs or are defunct. Gyaru is having a resurgence in the west and in Japan, so some brands are making a comeback in Shibuya. D.I.A is making a comeback with their iconic belts this summer and MA*RS with their iconic prints.
