Wow~

I love how concise but true the guide is. *A* Thank you for sharing!

I don't believe in "Harajuku" style. To me it's just a place, a very fashionable place with lots of shopping opportunities, thus it's appeal for many alternative fashion wearers.

But to say Harajuku style implies that everyone in Harajuku is wearing that style and that's just probably not true. That means even the tourist in khaki shorts with the giant camera is in Harajuku fashion, lol.

Exactly ! Its not a style, its a place. Its like saying new york is one style or London is one style. Its a place were many people come to show off their style.

hmm i might try  harajuku.

and it is a place in japan. a VERY awesome place lol!! <3

basically its where some of the people that dress this way hang out.. but its a fashion /style too named after the place. (i would say)

also. you could really go wild and do ANYTHING with harajuku like.. (the possibitlies are like endless)

dress up with some paws or claws, some wings, tiaras... bows.. clips..devil horns? a tail? cat ears?

just wear some really out ragegous clothes and stuff lol

and make up and hair.

thankyou for posting /sharing!!

Agreed :/ I never really understood it when people say the term "harajuku style" it's a place with awesome fashion hehe and there is so many different types of fashion in harajuku that can't just be generalized in one term.

Agreed also! Harajuku is a place, the center of alternate fashion stores in Tokyo.

We know styles that can be found worn and sold in Harajuku: Various Lolita styles, Visual Kei, Goth, Punk, etc. And people cosplay there too, or go for some completely different styles like Grease style!

Every Sunday they have a big meet up on the bridge, as a chance for everyone to show off their fashions. Generally Japanese people would not wear that kind of stuff in public, ever, unless there were an event. So it's a set gathering point for them to actually do that without embarassment or public scorn.

So 'Harajuku style' is... the style of dressing in clothes you wouldn't normally wear? I don't think it's valid terminology, it just shows a lack of understanding...
