A comprehensive look at Amu's wardrobe from season 1 of Shugo Chara
It's a bit unfortunate that so many anime typically stick with a single outfit for each cast member. Animators are artistically inclined by trade and as such can churn out some great -- and at worst, "creative" -- fashion design. The crew at Satelight more than did their job with Shugo Chara, a series loaded with unique outfits.
Hinamori Amu, the lead of Shugo Chara, has been fashioned by her own mother as what the series terms "goth punk." Maybe the Japanese style "gothic lolita" would be a closer description? Either way, her clothes come off more as being influenced by -- and less of a direct example of -- said style.
Let's start off with the oh-so-typical school uniform, which Amu finds a way to wear more creatively than any other character in the show.

Next, what truly boggles the mind is the sheer amount of different sets of casual clothes Amu wears throughout the first season.

Of course, what anime would be complete without a few special occasion outfits, most notably the yukata.

And a post on Amu's fashion wouldn't be complete without a look at all of her character transformations. They are the most important set of clothes a magical girl needs to pick out.

And finally, my personal favorite of the entire show. Now this is "gothic lolita!"

You rock, Amu-chan!
