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.
