Yamanba and Manba were the flashiest in the history of gals.
Their popular fashion choices included "loco girl style fashion" and "full-body neon color fashion."
Here are some examples of the Yamanba and Manba' fashion, which consisted of flashy colors from head to toe.
What were the popular coordinate trends among Yamanba and Manba?
ALBAROSA lattice hibiscus pattern coat × platform boots
I think it's an image of Heisei gal = ALBAROSA, but the lattice hibiscus pattern coat was especially popular with Yamanba and Mamba.
The classic coordinate involved wearing a top and shorts with platform boots and accessorizing with a lei () and other accessories.
.Lei: A neck decoration made of hibiscus flowers.
ALBAROSA lattice skirt or pants × Hibiscus pattern T-shirt
Mini skirts and pants with the same lattice pattern as the coat were also popular, and gals wearing them with a hibiscus-printed T-shirt were often seen.
ALBA cami dress × platform sandals
Cami dresses, popular since the ganguro era, were also a hit among Yamanba and Manba!
The style of pairing a dress with platform sandals and accessorizing with numerous accessories around the wrists and neck was popular.
Full-body neon coordinates
Just as popular as the hibiscus-patterned clothes were neon-colored clothes, such as fluorescent pink and fluorescent yellow.
Fashion accessories were also coordinated entirely in neon colors, and dressing up flashily was considered good.
Some Yamanba and Manba even dyed their hair in neon colors!
For flashy-loving gals, neon colors were irresistible.
Trendy items that Yamanba and Manba owned!
ALBAROSA lattice hibiscus pattern coat
The ALBAROSA lattice hibiscus pattern coat, which could be called a symbol of gals, was extremely popular despite its high price of around 80,000 yen.
Some stores even had lines forming before opening (late at night), making it extremely difficult to purchase.
It seems that having this coat was a bit of a sense of superiority.
Cami dresses
During the ganguro and manba era, cami dresses with thin shoulder straps were in fashion.
In particular, hibiscus pattern and fluorescent-colored cami dresses were popular among many gals, as they could easily create stylish outfits by simply pairing them with platform sandals.
Platform sandals and platform boots
This era, when gals were at their peak, saw an unprecedented platform shoe boom!!
Platform shoes were an indispensable fashion item for any genre of clothing.
Brands like "Esperanza" and "IDOL" were very popular, with the following items being particularly sought after:
Around the year 2000, designs with hollowed-out heel sections appeared, capturing the hearts of many gals.
.Wedge sole: A platform shoe with a sole that extends from the toe to the heel (not cut at the arch like a stiletto heel). It was very popular among gals because it was more stable and easier to walk in than stiletto heels.
Yamanba and Manba, who were even darker and had flashier makeup than ganguro gals, were a group of gals who absolutely loved ALBAROSA.
