Next in our Gyaru 101 series we bring you “Ane Agejo”. Its fame was rather short lived, but its presence will always be there for many of us!
🦋 What is "Ane Agejo"?
Ane Agejo is a rather new style compared to many; it first
gained some traction with brands like Delyle Noir and DaTuRa. It was
often featured in 小悪魔ageha as well as Ane Ageha. However, it was not
really known as its own style and would often be mixed with styles such
as Agejo and Onee gyaru.
It’s a very beautiful style that deserved its own name and back in 2016 Emi&Lea coined the name of the style as Ane Agejo. “Ane”
being a rougher word for older sister fits well as Ane Agejo is
somewhat sexy but a bit more toned down as compared to Agejo.
🦋 Hair
Hair is usually in some shades of blonde or light brown. Styles range from short bobs with side bangs or long beautiful curls.
🦋 Makeup
Straight eyebrows, somewhat inspired by Korean makeup are often seen in
Ane Agejo, makeup can often be similar to what Onee gyaru would do! You
might see a lot of “cat eye” eyeshapes, brown eyeshadows and fluffy
eyelashes. Many gals opt out of lower lashes even.
🦋 Clothing
Clothes for Ane Agejo are quite easily recognizable, DaTuRa and Delyle
Noir where always the go-to brands, but now with both of them gone you
would need to be a bit more resourceful. There are some pieces from
Yumetenbo as well as Kyaba stores that would fit great and some older
Lip Service pieces actually go great with Ane Agejo!
It’s worth to mention Strip Cabaret
here as well but they’re a brand that popped up around 2015-16 among
the biggest wave of Ane Agejo popularity. While they are not exclusively
an Ane Agejo brand anymore there are definitely still quite a lot of
items worth looking at in their store, even some fit for Onee gyaru!
It’s
worthy to mention that “cheap” gyaru stores in abab Ueno as well as
Alta in Shinjuku sometimes have clothes fitting for Ane Agejo!
🦋 Ane Agejo Shape & Styles
There have always been certain shapes and themes Ane Agejo sticks by
closely. The clothes are often floral and have bejewel on the trims and
lace plays a large role in many pieces.
The form of the clothing is pretty simple; peplum tops, a-line dresses and skirts as well as flared dresses. Often
combined with a cardigan, sweater or a pretty jacket the outfits are
always glamorous, playful and with a hint of sexy in them!
