So, what is kawaii?
Kawaii is a Japanese word. Kawaii refers to lovely, cute, and adorable. The word kawaii isn't used just for describing trend, it's also use to describe toys, appearances, behavior, makeup style and a lot more things.
Even thought it's a Japanese fashion, people all around the world (especially teenage girls) follow this craze.
This fashion emerged in the 1970s not as a fashion but as part of a new style of writing. It started to become into vogue in the 1980s by Japanese idols such as Seiko Matsuda. The fashion is very cute. The fabric of the clothing usually comes in either colorful or sheer or light colors such as baby pink. The shoes doesn't really matter in this fashion , it comes from very flat sandal or flip-flop to really high shoes (mostly wedge shoes). Giant bow or flowers is usually attached to the clothing.
People who used this kawaii trend usually is trying to go for a doll-like approach. These people mostly wear makeup. The makeup typically look okay in photos but if you actually meet these kawaii girls, you might be creep out by them ( if you never saw them before). This makeup look required over-sized circle lenses, which can make the eyes look extremely big.
The hair also matters. It's mostly dyed to a very light color. Curling the hair or teasing the hair will make a big different, making you look more into kawaii fashion.. A hair accessories will add a nice touch.
One of the idol that is popular for this fashion trend is Tsubasa Masuwaka (one of the most popular Popteen kawaii magazines). She has made this craze even more cute and more adorable...
