Okayz,another one...This one is "How to be DECORA"!
How to be: Decora!
Tips:
♣Remember, Decora can also include black, as long as it still follows the Decora aesthetic of extreme layering and excessive hair accessories. Try adding an accent color such as yellow or pink to brighten up your coordinate and make it more pleasing to the eye. Without these important factors, your outfit is much more likely to be mistaken for emo, punk, goth, or other more well know fashions.
♣Do not expect anyone to know what a "Decora" is. The fashion is largely unknown outside of Japan and will be met with everything from polite curiosity to insults. Explain politely that you're wearing Japanese street fashion called Decora, and answer any questions as long as the asker returns your politeness.
♣Don't have money for expensive accessories from the internet? You can find really cute hair accessories in the little girl's hair care section too.
Steps:
1.Don't be afraid to go to thrift stores or shop at cheap stores at the mall. Decora thrives on layers, which means having a full closet with lots of versatile items such as cardigans, hoodies, and tank tops.
2.Experiment with cute fabrics- browse fabric stores for cute pattern and frill and create your own skirts, tanks or pants.
3.Don't go out wearing Decora until you have enough accessories and layers to fit your tastes. It will look very incomplete.
4.Search for glitter eyeshadow and sticker tattoos- anything that will make you brighter.
5.Shopping online is huge for a non-Japanese Decora, and to get good deals. Stores such as Cute-plush.com, Asiajam.com and Cdjapan.co.uk are good staring points.
6.This step is HUGE- Put clips, extensions and bows in your hair. The more the better. You may buy some from www.lokisa.com, or many sellers on etsy.com sell adorable hair accessories.
7.Wear colorful arm bangles and necklaces. Wear a ton. Make sure they co-ordinate with the colors of your clothes.
8.Layer, layer, layer. This is what really brings the Decora look together. In winter, layer t-shirts with sweaters, hoodies, and cute jackets. For the summer, stay cool while still looking cool and Decora by layering several tank tops with different cute colors and prints. Skirts are great for Decora because they can be layered well with tops, leggings, pants, and many other great items - try bright tulle skirts or colorful short skirts, layered with cute brightly colored leggings or stockings.
9.To help prevent burning out peoples eyes and even more rude comments, put your outfit up on a LJ or similar community for Decora to get feedback.
10.Carry plushies or small toys if you want to go more extreme - plushies and small plastic toys are very integral to the Decora look in Japan. Extreme Decora-chans will often wear many small toys from a belt or necklace so that they click together and make noise as you move. Backpacks and cute bags are also great, favorites are strawberry shaped purses or Pikachu backpacks.
11.Fashionable nails are very common in most of the Japanese fashions. Try and find some colorful press-on at a pharmacy or online.

This style is too bright and flashy for me.
It doesn't seem to have much coordination other than to throw on as much bright, colorful cute things as possible. lol

This is a style I have not heard of until now!
I am not very much a follower of Japanese culture... sweatdrop
When I clicked on the thread topic, I expected this to be about Decoden!
Ooh! Start a decoden thread!! (If that counts as fashion... I think it should. <3)
Decora looks like fun. I could see myself covering my head with that many accessories.
The face mask thing is completely new to me.
Just recently I was perusing Sanrio's online store and I was like...
"What the heck are all of these face masks?" XD;

I've known about decora. This girl named Extra Fancy Luna Tuna sports mild decora in her sig pics and often gets mistaken for scene. I can see the resemblance.
