Japanese street fashion emerged in the 1990s and differed from traditional fashion in the sense that it was initiated and popularized by the general public, specifically teenagers, rather than by fashion designers.<ref name="Japanese street fashion">Aliyaapon, Jiratanatiteenun, et al.

Lolita fashion became popular in the mid-2000s. It is characterized by "a knee length skirt or dress in a bell shape assisted by petticoats, worn with a blouse, knee high socks or stockings and a headdress".<ref name="Japanese street fashion"/> Different sub-styles of lolita include casual, sweet, gothic, black and {{transliteration|ja|hime}} ("princess").<ref>{{cite book |last1=Peirson-Smith |first1=Anne |last2=II |first2=Joseph H.

Women with this style tan their bodies and faces to a deep brown colour, and will frequently use light lipstick to accentuate the darkness and brownness of their complexion. The {{transliteration|ja|[[kogal]]}} trend is found in both Shibuya and Harajuku, and is influenced by a "schoolgirl" look, with participants often wearing short skirts, oversized knee-high socks, and sparkling accessories.<ref>Black, Daniel.
