What's HOT and what's NOT? (Dec. 2025)

 Hi Cuties!!

We meet again! It's always so nice to see you <3

Today let's talk about what's hot, and what's not!

Starting off with the general review of trends as of now (Dec. 2025)-

• Y2K is still gaining popularity!
• Bimbocore is slowly being absorbed by the Y2K revival.
• Himegyaru is being seen more often on the streets of Japan, and alot more on the western internet spaces!
• Jirai Kei is still going strong irl, with only a slight decline in online spaces.
• Tenshi Kaiwai popularity is growing online, but still not seen as much on the daily irl.
• Heisei Gyaru is still in its boom! Unavoidable on all online jfashion spaces, we love this for her!!
• Visual Kei is having a slow rise again, I do have hopes of its full swing return in late 2026.
• Sweet Lolita is seen a bit less these days compared to classic lolita, but this happens pretty regularly around Christmas.
• Ryosangata is still fighting for its life to be seperated from Jirai Kei. You keep fighting girl! I BELIEVE IN YOU!
• Coquette is getting all the creddit for Himekaji, which is sad to me, a Himekaji enjoyer.
• Ballet core is coming in HOT, I feel this is due to the ballet shoe trend that started earlier this year.
• EMO IS BACK?? Uhhhh, DUH! Yeah, she has made her return!
• Scene has kind of been lost to time, being absorbed into the Emo niche.
• GOTH is ALWAYS in. Period. I dont make the rules. There is a Goth resurgence in the mainstream this month, thanks to the Goths With Santa trend returning again this holiday season!
• Cleangirl is dying, RIP, I can't say I'm particularly saddened by this, but I know some of you will be 😢
• Basic Autumn Girl was a great vibe this year! It's always so fun when the girlies are enjoying the season!

I am sooo sure I have forgotten some but thats i can think if at the moment!

Time for whats HOT!!

Specific hot items-

• Chocolate themed lolita coords
• Fawn themed everything! hoods, leg\arm warmers, bags, any and everything!
• Ballet themed shoes
• Skirts over pants is back for sure
• Tripp pants are trending again
• Holister long sleeves for layering!
• Buying from small brands!

Time for whats NOT hot!!

• Judging what others are wearing.
• Absolutely nothing is considered "out" anymore, get with the times!
• You can wear whatever makes you HAPPY!
• Choose your fits by how much you enjoy them, not by how much you think everyone else will!
• That one brand in Shibuya 109 that allowed their staff to humiliate and fat shame customers and then tried to blame the customers before issuing a halfassed apology that now everyone seems to have forgotten. oops :) IYKYK

Anyway, that's all my yapping for today!
