Kuro Lolita

**Kuro Lolita** (黒ロリ) is a substyle of lolita that utilizes all-black coordinates. The style is also considered a microstyle by some, and mainly used to differentiate all-black Sweet Lolita outfits from Gothic.

## Style Basics

Kuro Lolita is closely tied to Sweet Lolita, and describes an offshoot of the style that is almost identical, save for its use of only black clothing and accessories. The name "kuro" (黒) means "black" in Japanese. No other colors are used in kuro lolita, save for different colors of hair.
Those unfamiliar with the differences between the various Lolita substyles consider it to simply be Gothic Lolita, and insist that the term "kuro" is unncessary. However, the term is widely used to this day.

Ita Lolita

**Ita Lolita** (痛ロリ) is a negative term used to describe attempts at lolita fashion gone wrong.

## Style Basics

Ita lolita refers to any lolita outfit, or outfit that claims to be lolita, that violates the rules of lolita or is put together in a poor way. Most often, ita outfits are associated with terrible off-brand JSKs with poor quality workmanship. However, it can also be used to describe outfits that are coordinated poorly, such as using non-lolita items with lolita items, or using clashing colors. Cat ears are also known as an ita staple item.

Romanba

Romanba is a substyle of gyaru similar to Ganguro or Manba, but with a romantic twist.

## Style Basics

Romanba was a short-lived substyle. It contained the stereotypical gyaru silhouette and fashion, and included the tanned skin and white eye makeup of Ganguro, Manba, and Yamanba.

What set Romanba apart was its focus on "romantic" clothing aspects: meaning pinks, ruffles, and feminine frills. Due to its similarities to girly Lolita looks, it is also referred to as Lolita Gal.

The style never really caught on, and was quickly overshadowed by more popular girly styles, such as Lolita and Hime Gyaru.

Cosplay Lolita

Cosplay lolita of Chi from Chobits

Cosplay Lolita is a combination of Cosplay and Lolita fashion.

## Style Basics

Cosplay lolita incorporates two separate types of styles. One, the most popular, is creating actual lolita coordinates subtly inspired by various characters. For instance, including a color scheme of an anime character, or symbolism from a favorite show.

The other version of cosplay lolita includes wearing "lolita" outfits seen in anime, or modifying a character's outfit to make it into a lolita outfit.

Most consider cosplay lolita to be ita, as it often poorly translates aspects of lolita fashion and is worn by those who don't understand the style well. However, some lolitas do wear casual cosplays from time to time and enjoy the style.

Natural Lolita

**Natural Lolita** is a substyle of lolita inspired by natural fashion styles, such as mori girl. Although the originator brand of this substyle is no longer around, there still are various natural-inspired releases by other brands.

For the western interpretation of the combination of mori kei and lolita, please see Mori Lolita (Western).

## The Name

The name natural lolita (ナチュラルロリータ) was coined by the brand MiELette Tautou to describe their own take on lolita fashion based on Japanese natural trends, such as mori girl.  It is also known as natural loli (ナチュロリ).

## Style Basics

Natural lolita is based around the concept of a girl who loves fashion and lives in a small town on the countryside with many forests. While it is supposed to be based on mori girl, the shared elements usually don't go beyond the natural appearance and some additional layering, and in general it resembles more of a natural-based classic lolita or country lolita style.

The outfits focus on not only on natural materials but also on comfort with a more relaxed silhouette in the form of much longer skirts and less voluminous petticoats. Instead of relying on prints, this lolita style often features small details in the form of handmade embroidery and lace.

## Brands

Natural lolita was created and spearheaded mainly by the brand MiELette Tautou, created in 2010.  The brand was created by Iwate prefecture to promote locally made items.  The brand closed its doors suddenly in 2015, possibly because of the 2015 earthquake. However, no official statement on the reason for its closing seems to have been given.

Ao Lolita

**Ao Lolita** (青ロリ) is a microstyle of lolita that focuses on coordinates with blue color schemes.

## Style Basics

Ao lolita gets its name from the sax blue color. Coordinates in this style focus on this particular shade of blue. They may also feature white or lighter blues, but generally include mostly sax blue colors. Otherwise, this style is identical to traditional lolita.

The style was mostly seen in older styles of lolita fashion such as Old School Lolita and has since fallen somewhat out of style.

Hama Kei

Hama Kei is a sister style to Mori Girl, and is often considered a substyle of the fashion.

## History

Hama kei saw a small amount of popularity during mori's height around 2012 to 2016. However, nowadays the style is almost completely inactive.

Hama Kei was based off a small sub-idea shown in some magazines and by some brands that featured mori outfits with a beachy twist. The style was picked up by the western mori community who then began using the name Hama Kei to describe the style. It became a popular topic amongst international groups, but never became a full fledged style.

## Style Basics

The style is very similar to mori, with a focus on natural fabrics and colors, lace, and layers. However, it does have some aspects that are unique.

For one, hama kei color palettes may be traditionally mori, in whites and creams, but are more often in ocean colors. Dark and light blues are commonly used as central colors to a coordinate, as well as being used to highlight an outfit. Reds and browns are also often used.

Secondly, hama kei outfits often feature stripes or other nautical aspects, such as anchor necklaces, seashell accessories, fishing net shawls, and sandals.

Thirdly, although the style does focus on a natural look and layering, hama kei layering is often much more minimal than in mori. For instance, some outfits will consist of only a shirt, skirt, and maybe a shawl. Some outfits may also be heavily focused on layering, but it is not required in hama kei.

B-Gyaru

**B-Gyaru** (Bギャル) is a now inactive substyle of Gyaru and B-Kei fashion inspired by R&B fashion.

## Style Basics

B-Gyaru is a unique style that is often criticized for its imitation of R&B culture, and black culture in general.

The style incorporates darker tans that are similar to the skin tones of R&B black artists. Additionally, it incorporates traditionally African hairstyles, such as cornrow braids and weaves. The goal is to create a look that no longer looks Japanese, but instead makes the wearer look similar to someone in an R&B music video.

For fashion, the style focuses on clothing that might be seen in R&B music videos. Tracksuits are particularly common in the style.

B-Gyaru is now considered an inactive style and saw its popularity boom in the 90s and early 2000s. However, at its height, it incited criticism from communities abroad for its imitation of black culture. The aspect of tanning in particular was often criticized, cited as cultural appropriation. Those who wore the style claimed it was done in appreciation of R&B culture, and in an effort to imitate the artist and lifestyle they loved.

Nowadays, the style has faded in popularity, and the criticism has mostly died as well.

Dark Decora

**Dark Decora** is a substyle of decora.

## Style Basics

Dark decora is very similar to the original style, with only a few key differences.

Firstly, dark decora coordinates have a darker color palette. Generally, blacks, reds, and whites are the main colors used. However, hints of pink can also sometimes be seen.

Secondly, although dark decora holds true to the traditional cute style of original decora, the style may sometimes add some "punk" or "creepy" aspects. Examples would be skull patterns, punk t-shirts, or studded necklaces and headbands.

Other than these differences, dark decora holds true to the many decorations and accessories of decora, and the classic silhouette, often incorporating classic things such as tutus and cute knee socks, amongst other things.

Amekaji

**Amekaji**, also known as American Casual, is the term used to describe the Japanese interpretation of American popular styles. Just like American fashion, the style has grown and changed with the times since its introduction in the 1960s.

## The Name

Amekaji (アメカジ) is a shortening of the words "American" and "casual."

## Style Basics

Although the term can refer to any kind of American inspired fashion (see Amekaji Gyaru), Amekaji most often describes men's fashion.

Originally introduced as Japanese Preppy in the 1960s, the style has continued to pull form popular men's fashions in America, giving it a unique Japanese flair.

Currently iterations of Amerkaji mostly focus on whitewashed jeans, often cuffed and baggy, button up shirts, flannels, leather boots, and occasionally hats like fedoras or news caps.

Yama Kei

Yama kei is a mountain based natural style, often considered a sister style, or substyle, to mori girl.

## Style Basics

Yama kei differs from mori primarily in its use of layers, color schemes, and use of athletic gear.

Generally, yama kei is made up of simpler layers than mori girl. For instance, a shirt with a cardigan paired with a pair of pants could be considered yama. Sometimes outfits will have more layers, but it is certainly not required. Additionally, pants are much more widely used in yama than mori.

Color schemes in yama kei can be natural colors, similar to mori, but may also include neons and bright colors as well, as these colors are often seen on sportswear.

Lastly, yama uses many aspects of sportswear, such as vests and hiking boots, that are unique from mori kei.

Yama kei, like mori kei, has a natural lifestyle attached. However, yama kei's lifestyle is based on its name (yama means mountain in Japanese), and is focused on hiking, camping, and other "mountain-like" activities.

Yama kei had brief popularity with magazines, brands, and even in anime with "Yama no Susume" featuring various yama girls and a mori girl. However, the style quickly fell out of popularity, and never caught on quite like mori kei, leaving it now inactive.

## Brands & Magazines

### Magazines

The official magazine of the yama girl was Randonnée.

Dark Girly

**Dark Girly** is a substyle of Girly focusing on dark colors and slightly edgy accessories.

## The Name

While the style's name is commonly written as the Japanese spelling for the English "Dark Girly" (ダークガーリー), there has also been instances where the Japanese kanji "yami" (闇) or "kuro" (黒) are used instead.

There are many solid and floral fabrics made from eco-friendly material, and thrifted clothes aren't uncommon. Delicate embroidery is often added to plain pieces in order to increase the girly appeal. Because of the preferred use of cotton and linen, the style has been popular among older audiences for its higher durability.

The style is very similar to traditional visual kei, with large hair, similar color schemes, and gothic themes. However, the style focuses on outfits inspired by traditional Japanese clothing.

## The Name

The name angura kei (アングラ系) derives from the japanese pronunciation of ''underground'' (アンダーグランド), which refers to its origins in undergound theater.

## History

From everything that influences angura kei, the strongest influence is underground theater. Before it has become a style, it was mostly worn by actors in plays during 60-70s. This white makeup style, and the traditional Japanese fashions, are partially what influenced this style, alongside visual kei.

Ungerground music groups of the same name have also influenced this style, such as MUCC, Floppy, Guniw Tools, Metronome, and Nookicky.

## Style Basics

Angura style has no hard and fast rules, however, there are a handful of common themes between those who wear the style.

### Traditional Clothing

The clothes tend to be heavily influenced by traditional japanese elements as well as the Showa era (1926-1989) but with a Goth spin to it. The make-up usually consists of shironuri, and is dark and heavy. While kimono are the most common used by visual kei artist, the style also often features modified japanese school uniforms. Motifs and accessories are themed around post-war Japan and the occult.

### Colors

Color schemes in angura kei are mainly black, and other dark colors. However, other brighter colors can be used as well, such as jewel tones, as well as softer, pastel colors, like pink.

### Makeup

Angura makeup is similar to visual kei. Dark and heavy makeup, especially around the eyes, is popular. Shironuri white face makeup is also popular in the style, although not necessarily required.

### Hairstyles

Angura has similar hairstyles to visual kei, with large, teased hair being popular. Unnatural colors, like red and blue, are also popular, alongside black hair. Those who wear the style may also wear a traditional hairstyle in an unnatural color, or teased, for a unique take on the style.

### Accessories

Chains and spikes are popular accessories in angura kei, as well as traditional Japanese accessories, like floral arrangements worn in the hair.

### Shoes

Shoes in angura kei will vary, but popular choices are black leather boots, often knee high and decorated with chains and straps, as well as shoes inspired by traditional Japanese clothing.

Kuro Gyaru

Kuro Gyaru is a substyle of Gyaru primarily worn by the group Black Diamond.

## Style Basics

Kuro Gyaru, meaning "black-skinned girls," is a substyle of Gyaru focusing on dark or tanned skin. It is considered to have come from Ganguro style, and become one of the most prominent styles of gyaru due to groups like Black Diamond.

According to Black Diamond's leader, the goal is to "conquer the world" by spreading kuro gyaru fashion to everyone, everywhere. At its height, the Black Diamond group had over 150 members, with many members from countries outside Japan. Nowadays, with the decline of gyaru as a whole, Black Diamond has also seen a decrease in popularity and membership. Part of this may be due to the extreme upkeep needed to maintain the style, such as the need to tan almost daily.

The style is similar to mainstream gyaru fashion, but a few unique features set the style apart.

Firstly, the focus on dark skin is the most obvious difference. However, kuro gyaru also often includes unnaturally dyed hair in big, teased styles, as well as a focus on fuzzy legwarmers and leopard prints.

Gaijin Gyaru

Gaijin Gyaru is a term used to describe the foreign gyaru community.

## The Name

Gaijin Gyaru (外人ギャル) combines the term for the gyaru style, and the word "gaijin" meaning "foreigner."

Currently, the word gaijin is somewhat an ethnic slur to some foreigners living in Japan, and has fallen out of use, instead being replaced by the word Gaikokujin (外国人).  However, the term has been retained for the gyaru community, or in some the "gaijin" title is dropped entirely.

Usually, gaijin gyaru are pictured as not Asian, but any person of Asian decent who is not Japanese can also be considered under the umbrella term.

Aka Lolita

Photo Source Unknown

**Aka Lolita** is an unofficial microstyle of lolita in which red is the central color scheme. It may include white and blacks, but any coordinate will focus almost completely on red.

The style is considered unofficial because it is otherwise identical to mainstream lolita fashion. Some say this means it need not be called a separate style, or have a separate name. It is usually absorbed into larger lolita fashion as a theming convention in "one color coordinates".

Pink Decora

Pink decora is a substyle of decora. It is closely tied to the original style.

## Style Basics

The only difference between decora and pink decora is the color scheme. Pink decora consists of outfits that either are entirely made up of pink items, or focuses very heavily on pink color schemes with small accents of other colors.

Pink decora saw its biggest popularity towards the early 2000s, closer to the beginning of decora. The original pink decora focused on bright pink or hot pink coordinates. Earlier coordinates also were more likely to be completely pink.

More recently, pink decora has fallen out of style with the decline of decora's popularity. However, some pink coordinates are still seen. More often than not, more recent pink decora coordinates forgo the traditional hot pink style, and instead focus on the more popular pastel pink instead.
