Gyaru is a Japanese fashion subculture that emerged in the 1990s, characterized by its bold and extravagant style. Gyaru individuals often sport brightly colored hair, dramatic makeup, and trendy clothing, which can include short skirts, platform shoes, and accessories. The look is often completed with tanned skin, reflecting a carefree and rebellious attitude. The term "gyaru" is derived from the English word "gal," and it represents a lifestyle that embraces fun and self-expression. This subculture has evolved over the years, giving rise to various substyles, such as Gyaru-kei and Kawaii, each with its unique flair while maintaining the core elements of the Gyaru aesthetic.
