Creating Harajuku





The Harajuku Station district has given birth to the street fashion trend known as Harajuku style. Generally, the free form, imaginative style is most widely known around teenagers in the local area. Because of its free-form nature, Harajuku is a very hard style to explain. Some may call it extreme, the eclectic looks that are driven by the anime or manga character styles. To master the skill in wearing Harajuku style outfits, just follow these guidelines.

Bright colors are what you should start with. You may be blinded by them if you happen to be around this Tokyo area on any Sunday. Kids look like this when dressed casually, all over the country.

Match and mix. Harajuku seamlessly mixes many different styles to create new eye-catching looks. How's this for creating your own look, wear that pink tartan skirt, and top it with a suit coat of a traditional style, or maybe some black grunge in the gothic style and pair it with accessories in sunny yellow. Your goal is to be as daring as possible by combining extremes in order to develop a lovely, yet lively, mixture.

Over the top accessories. It's always important to remember to add your accessories when dressing, they just 'finish' your look ever so slightly. Accessorize with necklaces, headbands, scarves or any type of flair that will heighten your style. Dress in multiple layers. Layering lets you merge several styles into your appearance. Evaluate each layer and how they interact with each other.

Try different looks for yourself. One of the most unique aspects of style is that it is ambiguously defined and is a matter of opinion and, therefore, cannot be wrong. You can combine mini dresses and lacy bra tops and see how it looks on you. White schoolgirl socks and school shoes will provide an interesting note of innocence. Each day the look can be changed and you will still be in style. Don't give up.

Play dress-up. Harajuku style affords you the ability to play with the styles of manga characters. You can have some fun with it even though it is not a requirement of the style. Dress appropriately after you research the character.

Enjoy yourself! Fun and flair is what this style is all about. Your wardrobe should show that you are creative and fun loving.

The style of Harajuku may appear as though the wearer grabbed a rainbow out of his or her closet. However, this not right. It takes a lot of time and effort to create this style. A unique style and look is displayed by each wearer.
