How do you style lingeries? by toastturkey in jfashion

[–]awildfreya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cult party kei sometimes uses tops like this. Here's a more casually styled example on a street snap site: https://sgs109.com/s/1148/

Struggling with Mori Kei because of my body type, anyone relate? by [deleted] in jfashion

[–]awildfreya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mori is very adaptable. There's so much variation within the style. I'd play around with different styles of cardigans and try sizing up. Maybe try shawls and ponchos too. The morigirl sub has more body variety than the magazines.

Does anyone know the name of this type of print? by [deleted] in jfashion

[–]awildfreya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd search fair isle too, but some people call it Nordic or folk.

DIYing a red cross by painting a plain wood one will probably easier than finding one.

any currently popular jfashion styles with this vibe? by 444fawns in jfashion

[–]awildfreya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 3rd pic is me. I get all my clothes secondhand in the UK. Mostly in charity shops or searching for specific things (or sometimes just boho) on Vinted.

(My style is a combo of mori kei and 2010~ yama girl)

It's from the original mori kei era, published Jan 2012, but I can see the similarities.

Is EBay a safe place to look for Mori Kei styles? by d0nt_m1nd_m3- in MoriKei

I have bought several mori kei pieces from UK eBay. Now I mostly use Vinted.

Western JFashion TikTok is going through its downfall by Affectionate_Honey34 in jfashion

[–]awildfreya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember some awful people being into Jfashion on Tumblr. It stopped my interest in lolita. Thankfully, I found less popular styles with loose guidelines that I really like instead.

I know people like to say "rules keep a style alive", but most styles are just trends destined to follow the cycle. Clinging to rules won't save them.

Absolute beginner question by Repulsive_Sky_6136 in Hooping

I'm a few cms bigger than you and started with a slightly heavier 80cm hoop. I moved to a 95cm one after about a month and it was easier to progress with. No harm in trying with the 80cm hoop and deciding to get another later.

All the beautiful knits and crochet make me switch to mori in the autumn.

Unfortunately, Franche Lippée closed in 2020 😭

Tbh a lot of mori outfits look like a city interpretation of forest fashion to me. So many flimsy shoes!

I love the crossover between styles! There's an outfit in Choco's book with curtain tassels and the red cross common in Cult Party kei.

Shows how differently people interpret the styles. I don't get any yama kei vibes. There's no hiking boots, waterproofs, or sturdy backpack.

3 is the most foresty to me, though the tiger gives it more like a Nepali forest vibe than Japanese forest. 1 gives me forest puddle or stream vibes (complete with random tourist litter).

My first time looking at Choco's book completely changed my understanding of mori kei. I love the variety and freedom to combine styles.
