[b]Kogal[/b] (コギャル), a substyle of [[Gyaru]] (ギャル), is a [[fashion]] trend among young female Japanese high school students.

They follow the trends of gyaru fashion in their heavy makeup (especially around the eyes), sometimes [[tan]] skin, use of English-influenced slang (kogyarugo or コギャル語), coloured (and often bleached) hair, and trendy gyaru style fashion. Since they are school girls, they use their [[school uniform]] as their fashion statement, often wearing their uniform skirts very short and paired with [[loose socks]].

If there aren't any obvious signs of kogal (school uniform, [[loose socks]], [[scrunchie]], etc) then it's recommended to just tag the image with the more general [[gyaru]].
