Love anime? Love bright colors and lots of fun? Then you’ve come to the correct place! This week we’re going to focus on one of the many fashion-fun styles of dress in Japan that many would closely relate with anime. If you ever take a stroll down Harajuku street or heck, maybe just any old place, you’re definately more than likely to see people dressed in crazy, fun, springy bright colors with lots of hairbows, jewelry and many layers of clothing.

This style is what we call ‘decora’ in the fashion industry and normally is compossed of bright accessories, matching outfits with super layers and many many bright colors. This is one of the many styles that links to the general ‘GAL’ fashion trend and has a bit more freedom of fruitsy expression.

So how does this apply to what you might want to wear this spring and summer? Easy! This year as we all know, super bright beachy colors are in. Enhanced hot pinks, crazy glitzy blues and blinding lime greens. And let’s not forget the ever popular animal print is taking a turn for zebra. So the next time you plan to go out, why not toss on a cute zebra mini with those capri leggings? And maybe some hot pink flats and a few crazy chunky bracelts and necklace! Decora is all about expression so make it as wild or tame as you want.
