At the time, d.i.a.'s popularity was just amazing!
The pace of product replacement was extremely fast.
There were even clothes that I couldn't buy unless I made a quick decision on the spot.
Speaking of brands that Tsuyome gals love, "d.i.a."
It was the number one brand for kuro gal and was featured monthly in the magazine egg.
d.i.a.'s clothes often featured animal prints like leopard and zebra patterns, as well as American flag patterns and skull motifs.
- Instantly become a Tsuyome gal just by wearing them
- Innovative designs that can only be found at d.i.a. and not at other brands
These aspects attracted many tsuyome gal.
Despite being the number one brand for kuro gal, there were few stores, and at that time it was a very premium brand.
Based on the information I know, there were cases where 10,000 yen lucky bags were being sold for 100,000 yen on a certain online flea market site!
Even used clothes from designs released years ago were popular within the online flea market site and were traded at high prices.
Now, let's introduce some popular coordinates using d.i.a. clothes, which could be considered representative of Tsuyome gal.
What were the popular styles among Tsuyome gal?
Animal print camisole × Shorts
The classic summer black gal style was a camisole × shorts outfit.
Camisoles with flashy animal prints or fluorescent colors were popular, and they would sell out as soon as they were stocked.
Many of d.i.a.'s camisoles had unique designs, such as those that tied like an apron at the back, or those intentionally designed to show off the wearer's back.You could easily recognize them as "d.i.a. camisoles" at a glance.
From the front, they might look normal, but from the back, the exposure level was surprisingly high! These clothes were very popular among gal.
It might look too exposed now, but at the time it was just right for a gal.
Shorts were the standard bottoms to pair with such camisoles, and wearing a chain belt was a mainstream style.
T-shirt × Shorts
Fluorescent colors and American casual T-shirts and shorts are popular for those who want to avoid exposure too bold even in the summer.
At first glance, they appeared to be ordinary T-shirts from the front, but the back often featured mesh materials or more revealing designs. You could easily tell they were d.i.a. T-shirts just by looking at them.
Denim shorts were a must-have item for every gal!
They could be paired with any top, so some girls wore shorts every day in the summer!
Due to the feeling of insufficiency with just a T-shirt and shorts combination, many people incorporated a d.i.a.’s logo belt with a large buckle as a focal point.
Tops or Dresses with Arm warmers
In the seasons when you can go without outerwear (spring and autumn), Tsuyome gal often wore clothes with arm warmers attached to camisoles, off-shoulder tops, or dresses.
Popular bottoms to pair with these tops were shorts and distressed denim. If you added the super-popular d.i.a. belts, you'd have a perfect Tsuyome gal spring-autumn fashion look♪
Tsuyome gal of this era tended to prefer coordinates that exposed some part of their body, such as legs, chest, shoulders, or back.
Hoodie dresses or Set up
For Tsuyome gal who wanted to be a bit more modest, simple long-sleeve T-shirts, knitwear, hoodie dresses, and set up were popular.
- Long-sleeve T-shirts with partial animal prints or logos
- Hoodie dresses with cross or skull motifs
These were popular choices.
Though the exposure level was quite modest, incorporating animal prints and skulls was characteristic of Tsuyome gal style.
Outerwear × Fur leg warmers
From spring to autumn, these gals tend to wear clothes that are relatively revealing, but in winter, I wear outerwear to protect against the cold.
Typical outfits included long-sleeve T-shirts or knitwear with outerwear or dresses with outerwear. Some girls wore distressed denim for warmth, while others wore shorts and fur leg warmers.
At that time, monster boots were popular, and the trend was to make your feet as fluffy as possible.
For gal who couldn't give up the bare-legged shorts style even in winter, fur leg warmers were a lifesaving item that provided some warmth.
d.i.a.'s leg warmers had more fur volume than other products and came with charms, making them an extremely popular item!
Trendy items that Tsuyome gal had!
d.i.a.'s showy bra
d.i.a.'s clothing was generally more revealing. Underneath these revealing clothes, it was a standard style to wear d.i.a.'s showy bra.
The d.i.a.'s showy bra had two pads, allowing even girls with a B cup to have cleavage! It was a miraculous push-up bra that could create more volume than a NuBra.
Once you tried it, you wouldn't want to use any other push-up bra! Many gal purchased these bras along with their clothes.
Chain logo belt
It was a time when logo belts and chain belts were popular.
In particular, d.i.a.'s logo belts were extremely popular, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that every gal who loved d.i.a. had one.
d.i.a. logo belts had large buckles as a focal point, making the overall coordination more glamorous just by incorporating the belt.
As a result, they were used not only with distressed denim and shorts but also wrapped around dresses as an accent to many outfits.
Short pants
Regardless of whether they were black or white gal, short pants were a year-round staple for all gal. They were especially popular in the summer, but even in winter, some gal would still wear them with bare legs.
Distressed denim
Distressed denim was also quite popular among Tsuyome gal!
However, it was more suited for taller gals.
For short gals, shorts or skorts () were in higher demand.
.Skorts... Skorts are bottoms that have inner shorts attached to a miniskirt. They are also called "inner shorts skirts."
While a miniskirt alone has a high chance of underwear being visible, the attached inner shorts eliminate that worry, making them a popular item in recent years.
For Tsuyome gal who couldn't go without exposure in any season, d.i.a. was an indispensable brand.
