Otasa-no-Hime オタサーの姫 or "Princess of the Anime Club" style is something that was recently brought up by a helpful Anon in Japan as an actual thing.

It's basically what the Japanese term as "otome-kei" (no relation to the Western term) with brands like Axes Femme, Liz Lisa, and other generally cutesy styles often worn by college girls as daily fashion.

The fashion is seen as being mostly worn by college girls in anime clubs/male-nerd dominated fields where cute girls are a rarity, hence the Princess title. To put it bluntly, cute geek girl style, both fashionable and fandom.

The focal points of this fashion are:
>fashionable skirts/dresses
>OTK / thigh-highs
>fandom/cute accessories
>cutesy attractive style without being too childish

>General aspects of the style:
1. Average nerdy girls looking cute
2. Cute fashionable style with nerdy/otaku accessories
3. Natural looks (no wigs, glasses well suited, not a ton of makeup or very natural makeup)
4. Everyday style (no OTT here!)
5. Worn by college age 20+ girls
6. Mascot/anime or even cosplay accessories (bag charms seem the most common)
7. Aesthetic is akin to Princess Jellyfish or generic moe anime girls
8. Perfect accessories would likely be your Itabag and cute animal knee-highs

>Note: this is basically what the Japanese consider to be "otome-kei" but since there's an issue with that name being taken by a different style in the West, we're using the less flattering name of Otasa-no-Hime for it.
