Their hair is usually either in double braids or pigtails (neither of which are typically worn in an everyday setting). Some people decorate the pigtails or braids with colourful ribbons. if they wear a hat, it is usually simple and made of straw.

Makeup -wise, girls put excessive blush on their cheeks and use black eyeliner to draw three or four dots on each cheek. Their shoes are simple, and usually accompanied by white shin-high socks.
