Harajuku clothing style involves mixing and (mis) matching different fashions and styles. Harajuku fashion changes and evolves constantly, sometimes mixing traditional Japanese clothing such as kimonos and geta sandals with other styles. Everything from punk, goth to designer clothes can be mixed and mismatched with colorful accessories to create a unique and individual style.
Although more recently brand loyalty has become more prominent, second hand clothing and do it yourself are the basis of harajuku fashion. Maybe a flowered skirt with a pinned ribbon attached with a more angular hemline? If you have some talent then grab your scissors and sewing kit and make your store clothes individually yours..

Look and learn. look at pictures of the harajuku fashion scene and get inspiration from them. steal ideas from here and there to get the look that works for you. You may also want to buy 'fruits' and 'fresh fruits' magazine along with the Gothic Lolita Bible, these are all great sources of inspiration.
Dress in layers. One of the characteristics of Harajuku fashion is layering. Lair sweaters, jackets and vests over blouses and over tshirts. Dresses may be worn with leggings, and so on. Layering - or giving the impression of layered clothes by wearing ruffled dresses etc. allows you to get away with more of a variety of styles, and adds an additional dimension to your outfit.
Accessorize. add extravagant accessories including earrings, jewelry, belts, hair clips, handbags. When dressing decora style especially loud and colorful is the key, embellish your outfit from head to toe with pink, yellow, green, purple accessories that stand out.
Go wild with makeup and hairstyle. Harajuku style does not necessarily end with what you wear. Adding a a crazy hairstyle or a cute hairstyle - maybe sporting cute pigtails can complete your image along with using hair dye and making yourself up with theatrical makeup.
Wear whatever looks suits you. unlike punk rock harajuku fashion is not just about rebelling about mainstream fashion, but more a way of wearing what looks good on you. If you have a desire to wear pink and white striped leggings with a green plaid dress then do it!

The "kei" dalam Visual Kei adalah bahasa Jepang untuk jenis gaya, yang berarti "gaya visual musik" Musik berkisar dari delapan puluh rock goth, ke heavy metal ke punk dan biasanya beberapa kombinasi dari ketiganya. Sebagian besar band indie tetapi tidak banyak yang membuatnya ke major label seperti Malice Mizer, Raphael, & amp; Dir En Grey.
Visual Kei telah mempengaruhi gaya busana Harajuku, terutama mereka yang berkumpul di Jingu Bashi - jembatan penyeberangan yang menghubungkan distrik Harajuku yang ramai dengan Kuil Meiji.
Di atas jembatan Anda dapat menemukan cosplayer Visual Kei (mereka yang berpakaian sebagai musisi favorit mereka) dan mereka dalam subkultur yang dikenal sebagai Gothic Lolita berdasarkan fashion Lolita. Seringkali penggemar band-band seperti itu juga akan berdandan untuk konser, pertemuan, dan acara lainnya di mana mereka akan melihat orang lain yang menikmati Visual Kei.

Harajuku Fashion & Hair Style 2009
"With your underground malls in the world of Harajuku
Putting on a show, when you dress up in your clothes
Wild hair color and cell phones
Your accessories are dead on"
That's the lyric from Gwen Stefani song entitled Harajuku Girls. The song expresses her admiration on Harajuku style. Harajuku is an area around Tokyo's Harajuku Station. This area is the center of boys and girls fashion style and internationally well known for its cultures. They usually wear fashionably unique clothes. Ranging from gothic style, hip hop, punk, to the style of anime character. The specialty of Harajuku style lies on its glamorous beads, harmonizing dark and bright theme, and melting the feminine and masculine element, both from its style as well as the function. The style is actually divided into various styles such as Lolita, Kogal, Gongaru, Cosplay (costume play), Yamanba, and many more.
The extreme costume from Harajuku is also supported by the extreme of make up and hairstyle. The Harajuku hair style is actually extreme, glamorous, and eye catching. To apply harajuku hair, you should razor your hair, make it wild, let the hair down, & dye your hair (usually with bright color) like the pictures below.
