Himekaji (姫カジ; Princess Casual), sometimes written as Hime-Kaji, is a style that is popular among Gyaru but not unique to it. It is often considered a casual alternative to Hime gyaru as style that requires less upkeep. The style itself is very similar to that of Roma Gyaru but has its own key differences, including more lace and pink being the most consistent colour used in co-ords.
The style itself is often lumped together under the Hime gyaru style, but it can be considered its own style. That being said, Himekaji is often worn by many Hime gyaru on occasions they wish to go for a more casual and comfortable look.

Modern Himekaji[]
Just like this styles big sister, Hime gyaru, Himekaji remains fairly popular today. This is both as its own style and when attached as an additional part of Hime gyaru. This is because current Hime gyaru will wear Himekaji at times, but also because of the higher level of access there is with Himekaji for new gyaru looking for styles to get into. The style, very much like Hime gyaru, remains very true to its origins and has not shifted much in terms of the clothing choices or patterns.
