Hime Gyaru (姫ギャル) is a substyle of Gyaru with an overall princess-like atmosphere with floral patterns with many ribbons, frills, lace, and pearl details. It was mainly popular around the late 2000s to the early 2010s.
Style Basics[]
Hime gyaru makes heavy use of floral patterns with roses being the most common motif and pink, white, and beige as its primary colors. Coats are generally in solid color and feature big fur collars and cuffs as well as decorative bow and lace details. The headwear usually consists out of large hair bows or flowers with pearl chains as accents for a more glamorous vibe. Mule shoes featuring ribbons, flowers, and fur are a popular choice but high heels and mary janes are worn as well.[1][2][3]
Himekaji[]
Himekaji (姫カジ), meaning "princess casual", is a casual alternative to regular Hime Gyaru.[4] While Hime Gyaru generally incorporated a light color sheme, Himekaji also often makes use of various shades of red and brown. The outfits are generally a lot more toned-down, less princess-y, and can often resemble the anatomy of Girly fashion with brands like Liz Lisa catering to both styles.[5]
