25 KAWAII TIPS

Hiya! Here are just lots of kawaii tips for you!!!

Kawaii tip 1: Get the look. Here's where the innocent, lovable image comes in. Kawaii girls dress in bright, frilly clothes that just scream "cute!". Think outfits like floral, childish/elegant, scalloped designs, patterned overalls, balloon shorts with bows, etc.Go out shopping find the most adorable clothing you can find. Look for colour and cuteness, but, if you don't love and don't think it would look good on you, put it back. Don't buy something you don't like just because it is Kawaii.

Kawaii tip 2:Dress brightly and colorfully. Put lots of key chains and things like that on your backpack or purse. Kid Robot has some Kawaii stuffed animals. Accessorize well and make sure your outfits look good together.Try finding old or used clothes and add lace, bows or other cute attributes.Many things that don't seem kawaii can look great with some changes. For example, you could add cute animal stickers to white sneakers. Try adding lace to a normal skirt.

Kawaii tip 3: Do Kawaii makeup. Use black gel and/or liquid eyeliner, pink cream blush, sparkly pink lip gloss, and light concealer/foundation. You want a clean but innocent makeup look. For a good Kawaii makeup tutorial, I suggest watching Jemma Kuma's video on Kawaii makeup on YouTube.Don't do anything sexy if you want to fully follow the kawaii style. Don't do smoky eye, for example.

Kawaii tip 4: Get your nails done. Look videos up on Youtube if you want a good idea for DIY ideas. Often Kawaii girls wear fake, long and accessorized nails. This might be too much for you, so you got to find out what suits to you. Neatly manicured nails are also good and can work in lots of looks.Try adding stickers to your nails. Just be careful not to paint over them. If would be best to add them after your nails are dry.

Kawaii tip 5: Keep your eyes large as possible. In pictures, Kawaii girls always have eyes wide open. You can lay an ice-cold washcloth on your eyes for about five minutes, then apply some pearly eyeshadow to under your eyes, on your crease. Big eyes are cute, but don't worry if your eyes aren't big.

Kawaii tip 6: Do Kawaii hair. For hair, think "young child." Pigtails, side ponytails, braids, anything you'd see on a student in elementary school. Don't forget to add bows!

Kawaii tip 7: Be yourself. Add your own flair to the Kawaii style using whatever you like, and make the style your own.

Kawaii tip 8: Try watching anime. It is super fun and interesting and there is something for everyone. It's not all fighting and things like that! For example, try watching Peach Girl. It's great!

Kawaii tip 9: Surround yourself with friends, Kawaii or not. Really, labels don't matter at all. All that really matters is how much love and support you surround yourself with.

Kawaii tip 10: Have Kawaii role models. Look around online for great Kawaii women you can look up to. Make sure they make good decisions, are super nice and sweet, and use good language, because Kawaii girls never curse.Many K-pop and J-pop idols are kawaii or have clothes that could be kawaii. Some look cuter than others. You can copy their outfit styles, which will make you look more kawaii. Go check them out!

Kawaii tip 11: Don't worry about race and ethnicity––these don't matter. Even if you are not Asian, you can still be Kawaii. Being Kawaii is more than just about race or ethnicity. Your body shape doesn't matter either, Kawaii girls can be short, tall, flat, curvy, or skinny!

Kawaii tip 12: ear t-shirts with bold prints and pastel colors. Dressing kawaii is a personal process, but you want to make sure you have at least one statement piece in every outfit that you create. Find your personal balance between comfort and fashion.Graphic t-shirts and sweatshirts make great statement pieces that are comfortable. These can range from anime-inspired t-shirts with characters printed on them to sweatshirts with animal themes. For example, you might want an entire sweatshirt made into the face of a panda bear.[3]Pick pastels. Kawaii style often offsets bold designs with soft colors. Try creating an outfit base with creams, ballet pink, lavender, light green, and baby blue.Update classic styles with cute prints. For example, take a plain pair of cream Converse shoes and decorate them with repeating cute objects like cats or ice cream cones. If you make your own clothing adjustments, you’ll have one-of-a-kind pieces.Add frills. The sweet baby doll look is an important part of kawaii styling.[4] Try wearing blouses, dresses, and socks with lots of ruffles or pleats.

Kawaii tip 13: Follow kawaii blogs, and create a style board. Like any style, kawaii changes all the time. Unless you live in Japan, you're not going to see a lot of kawaii around you on the streets, so looking online can help you update your kawaii wardrobe.For example, current trends in kawaii include pleated, school-girl style skirts and chunky sweater layers in the classic kawaii pastel tones.[5]Search words like “kawaii” and “Japanese fashion” on Tumblr to see pages of current images from the kawaii style. Follow blogs that strike your eye, and use these as inspiration for creating new outfits with clothes you already have.Make a kawaii mood board online. Use sites like Pinterest or Polyvore to keep track of trends you like and to save your own ideal outfit combinations.

Kawaii tip 14: Choose clothing that doesn't reveal too much. Kawaii clothing fits well but still leaves something to the imagination. It retains a kind of playful innocence. Kawaii is all about balance.For example, if you want to wear a short skirt, try pairing it with thigh-high socks, a long sleeve top, and chunky platform shoes.

Kawaii tip 15: Layer well. Layering is a key part of kawaii fashion, no matter what specific style within kawaii you want to achieve.[6]Mix and match sweet patterns with bright colors.Wear bright leggings or tights underneath ruffled skirts or dresses.Pair a white long sleeve top with a colorful sleeveless dress.

Kawaii tip 16: Add kawaii accessories. Cute, fuzzy accessories are a staple of kawaii. Also popular are brightly colored accessories and accessories adorned with 'chibi,’ meaning small, adorable depictions of manga or anime characters, often with larger-than-life heads.[7]Keep a cute Tamagotchi stuffed animal with you all the time. Small Tamagotchi toys can be attached to key chains or necklaces, and stuffed animals can peep out of bags. Some stuffed animals even have Velcro pads on the end of long limbs, enabling them to hang around your shoulder.

Kawaii tip 17: Always carry a bag. This is a practical way to carry your stuff, and it’s another way to show off your unique style.Use a messenger bag. You can get a plain one and decorate it with kawaii pins and patches, or try painting it with fabric paints. Messenger bags give you plenty of room to carry around your laptop, a notebook, or games.Find a unique cross-body bag. Many purses exist to fit your personal kawaii style. For example, you can find ones with large bows, bags made to look like animals, purses shaped like clouds, and purses with lots of frills.Try looking on auction sites like eBay or crafter sites like Etsy to find interesting, affordable bags that others won’t have.

Kawaii tip 18: Curate your possessions. Having cute everyday things that match your style is a large part of kawaii fashion.For example, if you're using a plain blue binder and yellow pencils at school, this doesn’t fit your aesthetic.Invest in some cute stationery, bento boxes, and bags. You can always order online if things like this aren’t available where you live.If you can’t buy them yourself, ask for kawaii gifts for your birthday and major holidays.

Kawaii tip 19: Accessorize your hair. In kawaii style, hair accessories can help you to stand out even more.Look for unique headbands or make some yourself. Think pom poms, hearts, stars, animal ears, and glitter.Try wearing huge bows.Style your hair into pigtails, and add in hair clips for more creativity.

Kawaii tip 20: Consider color. If you want to go all out with your kawaii look, you might dye your hair. Classic kawaii hair colors include light pink, lavender, or white-blonde.

Kawaii tip 21: Try out fringe or bangs. The classic kawaii hairstyle is medium to long hair with thick, straight across bangs.If you’re uncertain about cutting your bangs, try using a faux fringe hair clip.

Kawaii tip 22: Smile and giggle frequently. This will accentuate the facial look you’ve created through your kawaii hair and make up. Nothing says kawaii like an adorable giggle.You should come across like a child who is genuinely amused about something.

Kawaii tip 23: K-POP!!!! K-pop is very kawaii. A kawaii k-pop band I love Twice. (What is Love? is very vey kawaii)

Kawaii tip 24: No matter how you dress, people will make fun of you. Don't get upset; they’re not worth it. Just shrug it off with a smile.Unless you have a good reason to be sad, try to be cheerful and optimistic. These kinds of people often look very kawaii.You don't have to end all of your sentences with "desu" to be kawaii.Kawaii could also work with others styles such as goth.
