What is girly fashion? [It's too late to ask now!]

Girly fashion is a style that emphasizes the innocent and cute style of a young girl .

The word "girly" comes from the English word "girly," which means girly or feminine.
It is said that the term originally originated in America in the mid-1990s as a pun on the word "girl," which means young girl.

As the name suggests, girly fashion is a fashion style that uses items to highlight a girlish cuteness.

This style is packed with soft and sweet elements that girls love, such as ribbons, frills, lace, and pink colors, so even though trends change over the years, it has remained a hugely popular genre for many years, especially among teenagers and people in their twenties.
Recently, the "adult girly" style, which combines elegant items, has become popular and is gaining support from adult women in their 30s and above.

It is also called girly fashion.

Girly fashion is also known as girlish fashion.
Girlish is a Japanese-English word that combines the words girly and stylish.

Also, girlish is an apparel term that means "girl-like."

In terms of meaning and genre classification, there is no clear difference between girly fashion and girlish fashion.

The difference between girly and feminine fashion

A genre that is somewhat similar to girly fashion is feminine fashion.

Girly style refers to fashion that uses plenty of sweet and cute items and has a soft silhouette that retains a girlish cuteness.

On the other hand, feminine fashion refers to outfits that have a modest elegance and a mature feel .
The beautiful silhouette created by combining sweet items with elegant blouses and pants gives the impression of a mature woman without going overboard.

By the way, the word feminine comes from the Latin word "femininity," which means femininity.

It's best to think of the girly style as creating the impression of a lively and innocent young girl, while the feminine style is a refined and mature look that can be worn to the office .

The characteristics and appeal of girly fashion

There's so much charm that only girly fashion can offer that tickles the girly heart ♡

Let's take a look at what specific features it has.

■ Characteristics and appeal of girly fashion

1. A wide variety of designs, including ribbons and frills
2. Pastel colors such as pink and white stand out
3. Add cuteness with patterned items such as floral and checked patterns
4. A soft and sweet silhouette
5. Showing skin doesn't look indecent
6. It gives you a youthful look
7. Extremely popular with men
8. Natural makeup suits you

A wide variety of designs, including ribbons and frills

The biggest feature of girly fashion is the design, which is full of elements that girls find cute, such as ribbons, frills, and lace.
It naturally tickles the girlish heart.

Just wearing it will give you a cute, girlish look, so you can feel like a doll, just like the doll you've always wanted.

Pastel colors such as pink and white stand out

Another characteristic of girly fashion is that pastel colors such as pink and light blue stand out more than chic colors such as black and khaki.
The outfit doesn't use many bold colors, and instead uses pale tones to harmonize the whole body, creating a soft and gentle impression.

Using light tones like camel, ivory, or white as the base will make the pastel colors stand out even more, making you look even cuter!

Like pastel colors, girly fashion looks best in pink and lavender colors that make you want to say, "So cute!"
By combining it with ribbons, frills, lace, etc., you can create a sweet and innocent cuteness.

Try incorporating pale tones and other colors throughout your outfit to create a bold, girly look!

Add cuteness with patterned items such as floral and checked patterns

Girly fashion goes perfectly with items that have sweet patterns .
Retro check patterns, which tend to look masculine, don't look tacky when paired with a sweet, girly design.

Try creating a stylish, girly outfit using cute patterned items, such as a small floral print dress or a cute polka dot blouse.

The transparency makes even floral patterns look less childish and more stylish!

A soft and sweet silhouette

One of the characteristics of girly fashion is the soft silhouettes created by dresses, flared skirts, jumper skirts, etc.

A flowing skirt is essential to accentuate your femininity!

A girly look can easily be achieved by combining a flowy blouse with ruffles or lace and a skirt.
As long as the skirt isn't too short, you can avoid looking childish and still have a cute, girly look.

Showing skin doesn't look indecent

A characteristic of girly fashion is that it doesn't look vulgar even when showing a moderate amount of skin .
Backless designs with wide open backs and off-the-shoulder tops have been popular in recent years, and when combined with girly items, they can create a healthy and cute impression.

If you want to try showing some skin but don't want to come across as sexy and mature, we definitely recommend incorporating girly fashion.

It gives you a youthful look

Sweet, girly fashion gives you a youthful impression just by wearing it ♡
Pale tones and designs with ribbons have no elements that make you look older, so you will often be seen as younger than your actual age.

Even for women in their 30s, adding a girly item to your everyday outfit won't make it look too over the top.
Adding a touch of sweetness with casually girly items will instantly give off a youthful vibe.

Extremely popular with men

Girly fashion is extremely popular with men!
The great thing about girly fashion is that it appeals to not only women, but also men.

Just wearing it makes you look cute, so men often find it attractive.

However, even though it's called girly, the frilly Lolita and Dreamy Kawaii styles seem to be more popular with women...
If you're aiming to appeal to men, try going for a feminine, girly look using elegant blouses and flared skirts.

Natural makeup suits you

To pull off girly fashion, keep your makeup natural.

It's important to remember that the word "girly " includes the meaning of "girlishness ."

Rather than applying heavy makeup with strong eyeliner around the eyes, a soft, natural look will give you a more girly look .
Girly fashion, which often features items in bright tones and pastel colors, can make you look more translucent just by wearing it!
Even if you have dark skin, it will brighten up your skin and make you look as gorgeous as a doll.

Aim for translucent skin with natural makeup and complete a girly fashion look that is somehow ephemeral and languid!

Freshness is key for teenagers! Bright, lively, girly outfits

Girly fashion is definitely a favorite among teenagers, as it's full of freshness!
Maintaining a bright and cheerful image will help you strike a good balance between youth and girlishness.

[Spring Edition] "Lace blouse x jumper skirt" highlights elegance and cuteness [20s]

For a sweet lace blouse, choose a thoroughly girly item with large ribbons or frills.
If you're in your 20s, you can create a girly look without looking too over the top by pairing it with a long jumper skirt instead of a miniskirt .

If you're going out with your friends, carrying a clutch bag or shoulder bag instead of accessories will add a touch of style to your look.
Since the top is flashy, balance it out by keeping the accessories subtle .

[Summer Edition] Add a touch of sheerness to a soft silhouette with a small floral print dress [20s]

Keep your feet compact with flat pumps and shift your center of gravity higher to create a slimming effect.

For a simple small floral print dress, mustard or burgundy colors are recommended for a girly look in the fall .

If you're wearing winter knitwear, try a loose, oversized silhouette to impress him ♡
Although it is a loose knit with puff sleeves, when you cinch it at the waist it accentuates your feminine lines.

A knit alone can look too casual, so add a bag or beret to add a feminine touch.
Simply avoiding chic black items will give off a soft, girly vibe.

Winter Edition: A sophisticated and chic look with a ruffled turtleneck knit and denim pants (for ages 30+)

Since the top is voluminous and cute, adding some contrast with black denim or skinny pants will make you look more age-appropriate, which is a good thing.

Girly outfits tend to come across as too cute, but by using chic colors to tone down the girly feel, you can create a clean, mature and cute look.

Perfect for girly fashion! Introducing recommended makeup and accessories

When it comes to stylishly wearing girly fashion, makeup, accessories, and other small items are also important.

We've picked out some makeup and accessories that go well with girly fashion , so please use them as a reference!

■ Makeup and accessories that go well with girly fashion

1. The makeup is natural and not too heavy.
2. The classic hairstyle is long, fluffy curls.
3. Perfect for short hair and bob hair
4. Accent your look with small accessories and small items
5. You can also wear sneakers or a backpack.

The makeup is natural and not too heavy.

In girly fashion, the items themselves have a strong impact, so over-the-top makeup is a big no-no!
To avoid looking overdone, try to keep your makeup natural, which will instantly make your overall look more sophisticated .

Also, pink and coral color makeup has become quite trendy recently.
Once you have decided whether to focus on the eyes or the mouth, try completing your makeup by focusing on subtraction .

When doing color makeup with girly fashion, transparent colors such as pink, coral, and orange are the best choice rather than terracotta or burgundy.
The natural, relaxed makeup creates a girlish, innocent look.

Choosing bright colors for your eyelashes and eyebrows will also lighten the pigmentation of your face, giving you a more stylish look.

The classic hairstyle is long, fluffy curls.

When it comes to girly fashion, long , fluffy curls are a must .
The loose, flowing waves really bring out your femininity and make you the most popular ♡

Black or darker hair colors give off an air of elegance, while bright hair colors create a doll-like impression, so charm everyone around you with fluffy, long hair.

Also, when styling your hair, it is important to leave some hair loose .
Slicked-back or tightly styled hairstyles may not be suitable for girly fashion.

Leaving some hair on your sideburns, temples, and nape and creating loose waves will give you a sexy look that will be a hit with men.
Try classic, popular hairstyles like ponytails and braids to create a girly look.

Perfect for short hair and bob hair

Girly fashion is often associated with long hair, but it actually goes great with short hair and bob hair as well !
Many designs tend to create volume, such as ruffles and lace, which helps to keep the area around the face compact and balance the entire body.

For a feminine look, we recommend a rounded short style or an inward- curling bob.
Since the hairstyle is compact, adding volume around the face with a collar or power shoulders will make your face look smaller.

Accent your look with small accessories and small items

When creating a girly look with a single accent, the key is to choose the right accessories and small items.
By using delicate chains and small pearl accessories to create a sophisticated look, you can create a modest and cute atmosphere.

It is recommended to choose smaller accessories such as bags as they will not interfere with your outfit and will easily blend in with it .

Large earrings and striking necklaces will make you stand out from the crowd when you wear them to a girls' night out or shopping, so try using them wisely.

Also, girly styles, which tend to have impactful designs such as ribbons, frills, and lace, can end up looking tacky as soon as you start incorporating bright, vivid colors.
When you want to add some contrast to your outfit or use vivid colors, try using small accessories as accents.

You can also wear sneakers or a backpack.

If you dress your whole body in overly girly items, there's a risk that you'll end up looking too over the top.
If you want your female friends to think you're cute, just wear sporty items like sneakers and a backpack and you'll be more popular with them.

When putting together a girly outfit, it's important to check in the mirror at the end to make sure you're not overdoing it!
Balance it with casual items to create a look that will be loved by people of all ages and genders.

Expand your fashion horizons with girly fashion ♡

Whether girly fashion looks stylish or not depends on how you wear it and how you balance it.
Enjoy girly fashion by imitating the ways to combine items, incorporate accessories, and do makeup that we have introduced in this article ♡

Girly fashion can create an innocent and lively atmosphere.
If you're always wearing casual fashion and are starting to get bored, it might be a good idea to add some girly items every once in a while to change things up!
