I was recently asked about the difference between hime gyaru and himekaji, so here's a quick explination!

💖 HIME GYARU: Hime (姫) in Japanese translates to 'princess'. The style consists of a very elegant, ornate, layered outfit that has lots of frills, bows, and lace. The idea conveys the gyaru style of makeup, but done in a sort of dramatic and princess look. Clothes are usually pink or white, hair is most often done in a large sujimori, and the wearer always adorns themselves with lots of jewelry, bows, and a bag to match the outfit. Gals who practice this style usually have "Sakurina nails" (named after the style of nails often worn by Sakurina, or Rina Sakurai, an Ageha model and J-Pop artist). Popular brands for this style would be LIZ LISA, La Parfait, JESUS DIAMANTE, Tralala, and Princess Melody.

💖 HIMEKAJI: A substyle of hime gyaru, himekaji (姫カジ) translates to 'princess casual'. While a bit self-explanatory, this style could be described as a 'watered-down' version of hime gyaru. Outfits worn by gals who practice this style are not as ornate and elegant as regular hime gyaru. They are more comfortable and casual, as the name suggests, while still being cute and princess-like. In this style, gals would be more likely to chose a skirt, light sweater, and boots (pictured above), or even a light dress, or coat. The style still follows the theme of pink and white, but incorporates a bit of tan as well (coats, boots, etc.) The makeup for this style is a bit more relaxed, as is the hairstyle, which would be more of a simple curl pattern, rather than a high sujimori. Accessories usually consist of rings, headbands, bows, earrings, and bags, but a bit more simple in their styling.

I hope this helps bring some clarification to those who needed it, but remember: fashion doesn't have a set of rules. Sure, there are guidelines to each style, but they are not set in stone. Mix, match, and have fun! That's how new styles are created, and that's how we express ourselves! Be yourself, and have fun with it! 💖
