Fashion items with cute characters are certainly perfect examples of Fashionably Cute’s Standard of Cute Fashion #1

Hello Kitty is without a doubt Queen of all Kawaii, but any cute character will do. There are plenty to choose from, created by famous cute Japanese brands (Sanrio, San-X, Crux, Q-Lia and others), Korean companies (Barunson, etc), as well as Western advocates of cuteness (from Disney to Warner Brothers, even though they are not Kawaii, they’re adorable anyway).

When applied to fashion items sweet little characters are clear winners, they can accent any outfit nicely. You can have anything character themed: from t-shirts to handbags and shoes, from iPod gadgets to wallpaper, hairdryers and toasters, from keychains and cell phone straps to diamond and platinum necklaces.

Just remember Fashionably Cute’s mantra: “Do not overdose cuteness!”, that means don’t dress in Hello Kitty from head to toe.

Before Fashionably Cute welcomed its first visitors Cute Fashion movement had not been governed by any kind of code. Anyone could call a fashion item “cute”, but what was meant by the word “cute” in relation to fashion? No-one could be sure.

Inspired by Cute Overload’s “Rules of Cuteness” Fashionably Cute has defined “The Standards of Cute Fashion”. Now you’ll have a specific set of recommendations for incorporating cuteness into your style.

We’ll be adding new Standards on a regular basis. Please watch this space!
