Gyaru: A guide for newbies and a love letter for seasoned gyals.
Tumblr media
There were a lot of things that made me post about this. I thought a lot about it for years but recently I had an interaction which confirmed my mind.
As a woman who had been doing gyaru since the age of 4, I have few guides for gyaru that you may agree with or not, but I am posting this regardless because I want this to be known, especially by new gyals.
Gyaru is a movement which moulds modern japanese feminism and breaks boundaries that previously pushed women to only be of certain category.
This to say, there are indeed a lot of subculture under the umbrella term like hime, rokku, agejo and such.
My guides start from here on. When you first decide to start gyaru fashion I suggest you explore your options, try our different styles, fave fun and go with what works for you.
There is a lot of misconception that just because you prefer one subculture more doesn't mean you are lesser knowledgeable in other subcultures. You are free to do what makes you happy and pretty because gyaru was the staple for just doing eccentric fashion, it was never about rules and policing others. The culture was born because they opposed Japan's view of women. When women were forced to be me meek, sensitive, weak, soft spoken... Gyarus were the opposite they were loud, brash, tanned and knew how to have fun.
Gyarus were safe space for women who didn't want to be judged and just wanted to have fun.
Of course when you start out you always can look at tutorials and what not but remember to always feel pretty and enjoy what you're doing. Stop thinking and flush out people who police you about "wear this" "don't wear that!" "Wtf don't buy this!" "Are you stupid? You don't even own any brands wow you are not a REAL gyal" and the most funniest part is that these things come from just foreigner gyals.
As a person who also lived in Tokyo for a while and used to practically live inside Shibuya 109 I can assure you that Japanese gyals will NEVER EVER say anything like foreigner gyals and police you because they genuinely want you to have fun, gyals out of all people are no. 1 in not caring about rules and just doing it purely for fun.
Back then if you went to Tokyo then you could see every sub culture co existing and hanging out sharing tips, sharing clothes from different brands and hyping each other up.
Never feel you are less or unworthy, never listen to people who tell you, you are doing it wrong because you mix 2 sub cultures in your fashion.
Live your truth and enjoy. You are the most prettiest gyal ever. Live your life full slay.
In conclusions I just wanted to post this so newer gyals don't feel pressured or scared to know and explore more of our beautiful community and for old gyals to remind them once again what a beautiful culture we chose to follow and how fun they really are.
Love you my gyals, let's keep this community thriving <3

I've been very into collecting monster high dolls lately, and I've repainted a few of them!!
I have learned so much from the first one (G3 gyaru lagoona) that I already kind of want to redo her lol. For G3 Lagoona I was inspired by manba/yamanba gyaru, a modern take on the substyle still with classic beachy motives, and I wanted to make her face look more fish-like than her factory face paint.
For G1 Lagoona I wanted to focus more on the bold black eyeliner and she is more mode gyaru inspired, with clothes from a Toralei fashion pack ^^
and for Draculaura, I just wanted to further emphasize the lolita style she's wearing in this version (which is one of my favorite dolls of hers by the way :] )

I’ve been obsessed with people’s gyaru designs for g3 lagoona. Not the biggest fan of her redesign, but gyaru just makes everything click :’) took my own stab at it

Ok a little rant about some poser 😭
I found this account that is just filled with "gyarucore", " tropical gyaru" (manba) and "coquette gyaru" (which doesn't exist, it's hime gyaru) and "emo gyaru" is called rokku gyaru
Ik they're probably new to this but they should educate themselves
BEFORE STARTING A NEW AESTHETIC DO SOME RESEARCH
