“Niche” Jfashion subcultures

I decided it would be fun to show you some jfashion subcultures I rarely see people talk about ! I will probably be making more of these in the future, as jfashion really interests me! Here are 3 Jfashion subcultures I rarely see talked about !

#1 First is Tebshi kawaii !! Tenshi kawaii is a style similar to Yume kawaii, except it is less broad. Tenshi kawa’s defining features are blue, white, and cute! It originated from a Japanese magazine similar to how the style larme kei came to be! This is probably the least niche style on the list !! 

Unfortunately I cannot find the creator of this image but if I do I will update this ! 

#2 Yamanba. Yamanba has always been niche, even at its peak in the early 2000s. Yamanba, or Yamanba gyaru is a gyaru subculture, typically more extreme. This style comprises of tan skin, over the top bright  makeup, and colorful hair !

There is actually a very large number of gyaru subcultures!! You can find info about them on the Japanese fashion wiki 

#3 Hadeko kawaii. This jfashion substyle originated during the mid 2000s in Osaka. It uses a colorful color pallet such as rainbow and primary colors! It uses poofy wigs, tie dye shirts, vintage cartoon shirts, and bright colored accessories !! Image below is from the jfashion wiki

#4 Futago. Futago (twin style) started in 1958 after a singer duo who were identical twins debuted. They were identical in terms of looks, and outfits (sorta) . These outfits typically have contradicting color schemes in them, such as one person wearing a pink shirt, and one wearing blue. The style really started to get popular in 1990 when it was featured in fashion magazines. Image below is from Jfashion wiki 

I Hope you enjoyed learning about these Jfashion subcultures!! ♡
