Mori Kei/Girl:

• Overloaded figure created by layering
• Can be a way of living, not just a fashion style
• neutral tones and natural colours
• appearance is soft on the eyes and natural looking

Please note that you do not have to stick to these rules, they aren’t set in stone. For example, not all Mori girls aim to have overloaded looking figures, you do not have to layer excessively. Wearing skirts and dresses isn’t necessary either, you can wear shorts and trousers.

Try to stick to lightweight fabrics, and avoid synthetic material. Stick to muted tones with accents of brighter colours. (Mustard yellow, red (not post-box red) are acceptable). Patterned fabrics with themes of nature are generally loved. You don’t have co-ordinate your colours so much.

Crochet and knitted garments are great to layer with.

Mori girl lifestyle includes thing like going on walks in the forest or somewhere peaceful, eating food that’s natural (not necessarily vegetarian) generally go by take what you need, respect nature, mushroom picking and just generally being outdoors. Locally sourcing food and trying to reduce your carbon footprint.

Makeup should be kept neutral and as natural looking as possible, use dark brown mascara and eyeliner instead of black, aim for a fresh faced look.Don’t over-pluck your eyebrows and if you do draw yours in try to keep the look soft looking. 

Hair is often just left natural, softer cuts are preferred, try to steer clear of sharp or blunt cuts. 

Dark mori is pretty much the same, however as it might suggest, black or very dark colours are used instead.

Just repeating what I said early, these rules are not set in stone.
