The light blue area is one of the fashion trends gaining popularity in Harajuku.

This fashion, with its predominantly light blue color scheme, gives off a mysterious, heavenly vibe.

The fashion of the angel and light blue circles is characterized by an atmosphere of angels who have descended to the human world on earth...a futuristic style that goes beyond common sense in the human world.

There are many different types of fashion coordination in the light blue community, but the most popular is the subcultural jersey-style Y3K fashion.

In the light blue and angel circles, casual items made from sporty material such as jersey are combined with feminine details and accessories such as ruffles and lace to create a sweet and cute atmosphere.

The key to light blue clothing is a mix of jerseys and unexpected elements



The combination of two contrasting elements, sporty jersey material and unexpected designs such as lace and frills, is reminiscent of the near future, so the clothing and worldview of the light blue and angel communities are also said to be "Y3K fashion" (a worldview of the year 3000).

People who start wearing light blue fashion may also refer to themselves as having entered the light blue world.

 

What is the relationship between Y2K fashion and Y3K fashion in the light blue area?

The fashion of the light blue area can be seen as a homage to the revival of Y2K fashion (fashion for the year 2000), when subcultural fashion was popular.

"Y2K" is an abbreviation for "Year 2000," meaning the year 2000, and "Y2K fashion" refers to fashion that incorporates trends from the 2000s.

The current trend in Y2K fashion incorporates elements of Japanese gal culture, "grunge fashion" which uses distressed denim and rock band T-shirts, and K-pop idols' modern interpretations of Y2K clothing.

On the other hand, the light blue and angelic circles, known as Y3K fashion, wear leg covers and arm covers instead of loose socks.

And instead of the platform boots that were popular during Y2K, platform sneakers are booming.

The leg covers are used in place of platform shoes and loose socks, and the head dress worn in Lolita fashion is worn. The clothes have zippers on the sleeves, giving the garment a changeable look with grunge details.
