Style Basics[]
While Shinora visually appears very similar to nowadays Decora, there is a few major key differences. While Decora is mainly known for its heavy use of hairpins, this style has a strong focus on child-like hats resembling stuffed animals whereas the decorative focus is on bracelets and badges. The clothes are mainly in solid colors without any prints and feature chunky buttons, pom-poms, and tulle accents. Overall the appearance of Shinora is more tomboyish than other styles and shorts are commonly worn with suspenders hanging down the legs. [1]
