Are there any active ig/tumblrs that post mori and related fashion?

>>9984764
There seem to be quite the amount if active personal mori coord blogs in the tag but besides those...

end mini dump, sorry most of these are kind of simple, anons, I just pulled what I had off my general style inspiration board.

>>9984876
naturally i forget to attach my last image lol

Is there even any way to wear this kind of fashion if you live in a hot climate? I feel like I only see tons of heavily layered outfits with long sleeves, cardigans, and scarves.

>>9984893
yeah I also live in a hot climate, i wear a light flowy dress with some sort of lace overshirt, shawls with thin fabric, pretty sandals and floral accessories. Mori doesn't have as strict rules as lolita, you don't always have to look like you're ready to go to Antarctica. As long as you have the forest dweller aesthetic you should be alright

>>9984893
some inspo for hotter weather

>>9984952

>>9984955
Most of these are just old pics from previous threads. Sorry if you recognize some of them.

>>9984957

>>9984958

>>9984706
I've always wanted to try this type of style, but my worries about the color palette are holding me back. I have black hair with a very cool leaning skintone (Asian), and I find that many of these colors (especially fern and eggshell in the second pic) look like shit on me and totally wash me out. I usually wear lolita in rich jewel tones, for reference. I've also noticed that everyone who wears this almost always has a warm brown or blonde hair color. Anyone have any suggestions on adapting this color palette for cool undertones? I wouldn't be opposed to getting a brown wig. Sorry for being spoonfeedy.

I’m looking for pieces fitting a kind of overlap between mori and classic lolita, so lots of natural materials and texture but still structured bodices and poofy skirts. So far I’ve been collecting older Innocent World pieces but I’d like to branch out. Are there any good quality Taobao brands that consistently produce this style? I’ve looked into Miss Point but apparently their quality isn’t so good or has been going downhill. Part of my attraction to this style is that I want to have more durable pieces that will last me many years.

Is natural kei popular in Japan right now? I feel like I'm seeing a lot more kaneko isao/pink house/ingeborg etc in closet child and other second hand sites than I used to

>>9985633
Likely because natural colors are popular around fall.

WTB this skirt. Seems to be sold out on Aliexpress and Taobao.

>>9987242
Can someone help out a Newb Gingritch here, what is this brand’s name?

I keep seeing their photos and I love every piece. They have a very unique style.

>>9987299
I'm not 100% sure it's theirs but the stock photo reminds me of Favorite's pics. Whether it is or isn't theirs, they do have quite a few pieces that can work for these styles.

I've found that people interested in mori aren't really interested in forming communities like we have for other j-fashions, or at least those communities aren't too active. I guess because most of us are solitary.
But still, it would be nice if we could organize an exchange. I'm sure lots of other people into this fashion share snail mail/postcard exchange as a hobby, no?

On instagram there are quite a few people into mori girl. If you search the tag (#morigirl, #morikei, #morilifestyle, #naturalkei), you'll find lots of beautiful accounts. There seems to be a lot of enthusiasts from Russia, for some reason. Here are some accounts of people who are inspiring to me even if some don't post too many outfits.

i would just transfer your favorite color palette from lolita to natural kei, anon. While it's popular to use washed out colors for a more ethereal look, I see plenty of outfits in regular and dark mori that use dark fall colors and jewel tones beautifully!

i think

>>9985616
>>9987056

are all pretty good examples. But honestly you could take any coord in this thread and recreate it in a richer palette to good effect as long as you stick to the silhouette and materials.

>>9988555
Thanks for the help anon, I'll give it a shot! For now, I'll collect inspo of darker coords.

lol this is pretty much me in winter. except not outside, and mostly out of necessity. #upnorthliving

I see mori girl more as a daily fashion than a special occasion fashion like lolita (although I do know there are some lolitas that do wear their fashion daily.)

Although I wouldn't mind talking to mori girls sometimes, I don't think I would be part of a group. I never felt fully part of anything that resembled the mori girl community or the lolita community. I was always something in between and kind of got called out on it on both sides.

Op, I am glad you did consider natural kei, because I think that is the best fashion that describes me. I wish there were more solely natural kei girls out there. Maybe then I will be interested in joining a community.

Brands that I normally wear are Pink House, Kaneko Isao, and Sweet Dreamer.

I didn't have to start this thread, and it didn't die immediately! Such a pleasant feeling. Here are some paste things

The mori music playlist! Add songs you think should be on there :) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPw1layEOiwxuUDsHQdxlhF5Y6F7wJLxy

I just found someone made a Google Drive as an archive of old mori magazine scans, here https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1aEzXce-XaynToS-CeHWbfRRCAse9nrdQ?usp=drive_open

And it was from this blog, which seems to have a lot of nice resources https://idontknowmuchbutimlearning.blogspot.com/p/welcome-to-my-blog.html?m=1

What would it take to start a mori Com? I'm sure everyone still interested in it is too far flung for meetups, but I would really enjoy a forum dedicated to just chatting. Maybe we could start a mailing list.

Also, pic related is a screenshot of me because I don't know how to save things from my friends instagram.

>>9994898
Bless you anon for that drive link! You made my whole week now!

>>9985618
>>9985621
Does she have insta?

>>9994898

Awesome links! Do you have your own insta? I'd be interested in a Mori comm myself.

>>9995054
She has a wear account and her insta is linked there but doesn't seem to work
https://wear.jp/mug12/

>>9996215
Checked her insta and it seems to be working again, but she's not posted in a while.

>>9996022
See above >>9987626 a biiig list of mori instagrammers.

Question for the thread: Where would i be able to get mori style for men in western sites?

>>9996301

I wish I could help you more with this. I'm a dude and I don't order my clothes online - I have to try them on first. I generally find my stuff completely by random at the usual American stores, and make the rest. Knitting and sashiko stitching helps me customize my wardrobe.

>>9996504
Where is this picture from?

I've never cared about fashion before, but I lost weight and needed new clothes recently. I inadvertently got into mori. No idea what it even was until a few weeks ago. The only issue is that I am a guy. Everthing is for gals. What do I do? MFW I wish I were a cute girl.

>>9996756
Have you done any research at all? Guys can wear the style too. You may have to be a bit more creative in where you find the garments and how you dress yourself but it's possible and you don't need to be a girl to do it.

>>9996758
Research so far has been looking at pictures. Its still harvest time so I am looking to buy stuff for fall when I have the time to wear nice things. Still wish I were a cute girl.

>>9996760
You clearly haven't been looking very well then because simply googling "mori kei male" brings up a ton of examples. Maybe try just a little bit harder instead of whining in the thread about not being a girl.

>>9996762
I for got that Mori girls are still just Lolitas and are heartless and mean.

>>9996764
Not the person who initially responded, but jesus dude, what were you expecting? Asspats? Hand-holding? Imagine doing this in any other hobby. Find an internet forum about girls' tennis and ask "lol do they have a BoY's VeRsIoN" without taking 5 seconds to google it, and then tell them all "I wish I was a cute girl uwu" and expect them not to feel fucking uncomfortable.

>>9996764
lolitas must be luvlies is out
why aren’t mori girls luvlies is in

>>9994898
Discord is quite popular now, and has a great layout as a forum.

I really like this style but some look like curtains

>>9996844

I hate to be that person but I despise Discord, it has the absolute WORST interface I think I've ever worked with

>>9996884
Hey, there are some pretty cool curtains out there.

>>9996760
Either
Find another one of the many dedicated threads to bemoan that you aren't a cute girl
Wear girls clothes anyways. Do you think the forest cares?
Look around a bit more, you'll find stuff. That being said, most of the wearable men's pieces I've found at thrift shops and such fall more under natural kei, but it gets the point across.

>>9996844
Well Shit, let's start a comm on discord https://discord.gg/ZEtCS3j (I don't actually think that a majority of the people interested in mori would have a discord, but hey, who knows?)

>>9996758
Check out this shop on Etsy:
https://www.etsy.com/shop/CELTICFUSIONDESIGN

Although most of their stuff is for women, they have nice men's vests and plenty of unisex capes.

>>9997172
This is the spoonfeeding I was looking for. Thank you.

Also for all those that didn't pick it up the whole I want to be a girl thing is a joke. Welcome to /cgl/.

I do feel sorry for lolitas that gotta deal with brolitas. That is weird.

>>9997294
>Also for all those that didn't pick it up the whole I want to be a girl thing is a joke. Welcome to /cgl/.
Post dicc or gtfo. We don't cater to your entitled ass. Crossboarding scum.

Anyone doing the 'mori lifestyle' thing? Crafting, cooking, reading, art, music? I'd like to know what other people into the style do.

>>9997515
If this were not a blue board I would post the dicc.
I am a cross-boarder though.

>>9997679
I'm just starting to learn about the fashion, but I do eat a lot of local organic produce. I make my own bread as well as anything else I can make from scratch.

>>9997744

What other boards? And what kind of bread do you make? I do the no-knead breads because they're easy and I try to keep down the clutter in my kitchen as much as possible.... So as few pots/pans/tools as possible to get everything made. I do a lot in just a french pot.

If you're just starting out the color guides in the OP are an easy to way to get going. For a dude I'd suggest keeping it simple and adding things slowly.

>>9997750
/ck/ /k/ /out/

I make no knead breads as well. Sometimes I try to make my own sourdough starter with varying results.

I have been thinking about getting a french pot / dutch oven. Any suggestion on what would work good for bread?

>>9997751

I've been using a Tramontina ceramic-enamel cast iron pot for several years now. I believe it's a 6 quart one. It works great for so many things; whole chicken, soups, bolognese sauce, and large/small loafs of bread. The lid keeps the steam in the pot so you still get a good crust. I like to make a couronne loaf now and then and stick a ramekin with water in the middle to make it REALLY crusty.

>>9997779
That sounds great I've never made a couronne before.

I hope more people use the discord. I used to hate discord but I have grown to like it more recently.

>>9997679
I'm trying to get more into art because mori has given me a lot of inspiration. I'm still lazy af though when it comes to carrying through. I'm also working on folk music.

I have this dream of living in a little cottage, growing my own vegetables and herbs, and maybe eventually rescuing a couple of donkeys. But the only place I've found within budget is on a busy highway and across from a trailer park.

>>9997294
You're welcome, man (sorry for the misfire). We can get a bit frustrated here because we seem to end up sharing the same images and links over and over with each thread. I'd love to see some more original content and new mori girls and guys is integral to that.

>>9997679
I love making paper dolls! It's cute to give them all your clothes or design things you'd like to have.

>>9997967
I adore them too! Do you have mori examples?

>>9984706
Vintage and thrift stores are actually extremely common in the mori community, I'd say they're probably the first thing that is recommended when you ask for shops.

>>9997679
I do pretty much all of these except music. I live near the beach so my life style is more Hama than Mori. I hope to move out of my parent's place somewhere up north with more nature.

>>9997679
I like walking in nature and I'm learning about plants/trees/etc in my area. I've succesfully picked lemon balm and mint for my tea. During autumn I was able to find some edible mushrooms, as well. But I need a good field guide and I haven't found any so now I just use an app called "PlantNet" to help me identify plants.
I also love baking, reading, and swapping postcards.

Does anyone own this piece? Aliexpress/Taobao stock it and I'm curious if the lace looks as good as Favorite's photos.

>>9998150
That sounds comfy as all get out. I grew lemonbalm and mints in my container garden a few years ago but was too busy this year to do any gardening.

>>9998027
I think it'd be cool to see a more beach-inspired version of mori style.

>>9997880
When you find something you really like you'll stick to it! Try out a bunch of things and see what sticks.

>>9998208
>beach-version
Supposedly that's what Hama is, anon.

>>9998913

Never seen it.

>>9998208
>When you find something you really like you'll stick to it!
I hope so. I'm in that mindset of "I'll get everything done when I have my own space for it", and that's an excuse.

Does anyone have mori friends? What sort of things do you do together? I like the idea of field expeditions like >>9998150
(can I call you botany-anon?) as a social activity.

>>9999996
my friends and I meet up at the local cider mill. They're a husband and wife what owns it (wife is entomologist with state university's working farm up here) and they've been making fresh cider from local apples for 10 years. We each have our own thrifted mugs and sit around outside by the fire with our doggos and chat about local county news.

We also go to the beaches together and gather rocks, or go on hikes. There's lots of local street festivals too. I live in a concentrated rural area, and we're all pretty close. We help each other, and a lot of my friends (and me) cultivate gardens or own farms. Chickens, etc. I've helped a friend take care of her mini horse and mule.

I have an instagram I don't mind giving out if you would like a window into my life anons~

>>10000174
Nayrt, but, seems pretty comfy. I'd like to move somewhere like that. The city is getting to me. Let me know your instagram anon, I'll follow ya.

>>9996756
>>9996758
As a girl just lurking, I appreciate these posts because I prefer more masculine clothes and didn't know this was an option! Thanks!

>>9998913

it was literally made up by one white tumblr chick. It's like 'dark mori,' it was just mori until someone decided they weren't special enough for wearing that.

>>10000467
No problem! Mori style is lovely in all its forms and you're free to express yourself in it regardless of gender. All it takes is creativity and willingness to take "risks" and experiment.

>>10000174

would love a peek into your awesome-sounding life!

Well then.
I'd be interested in following some other people as well. My insta is @hypnone_,I mostly post photos from my hikes or nature walks, historical monuments, and some baking stuff.

>>10000473
Bless you anon, thanks! I'm gonna start collecting stuff closer to this especially with winter soon! So excited!

So, where do you buy your clothes? I've managed to find some stuff while thrifting, but it has been quite inconsistent. For base garments I've only found decent ones on taobao/aliexpress.

>>10004096
Anywhere and everywhere really. I like thrifting because it’s cheaper and mori is easily built off out of style clothes, but I can find items at pretty much any non-specialty store.

>>10004096
I get skirts from hippy stores, because they tend to have natural fabrics and nice earthy colours. Unfortunately my favourite store has gone down the "I've been to Thailand - it was so enlightening" route.

>>9988745
I like this more deserty looking photo, it’d be cool to see some more shoots like this.

>>10004096
Asymmetric hems are difficult to find nowadays but apart from those most normie shops will have something suitable for mori. I especially like Zara. Its Trafaluc collection has such lovely fabrics.

Does anyone know where to find tall leather boots as a guy? Ive been trying thrift-shops and surplus stores but everything is in tacti-cool black or super ugly work boots these days. Im looking for something plain and brown, and feel like there has to be somone who still makes simple boots that dont have a hundred bells and whistles.

>>10006281
DSW maybe, orrrrr... Tractor Supply? Farm and Fleet? It's a stretch but they sell so much work clothes you could try.

>>10006281
Look at lard and historical re-enactment markets/webshops. Ask in the lard thread.

>>10006398
>>10006394
Thanks for the tips! Never thought about re-enactment stuff thats probably the perfect place to look! I'll give the tractor supply a peek, though the one near me is pretty small so i doubt ill find anything, worth a shot though!

>>9989051
Mori is definitely more wearable than many j-fashions. Natural kei is a bit on the upswing, I think. I wish there was a dolly kei comm. All three of them seem like sister styles drawing from different areas - Mori has lots of Nordic influence, natural kei has American prairie/English countryside, and dolly has Russian.

>>10007018

That's such a good observation, thanks for posting that!

>>9984706
could anyone help my memory and tell me which brand that dress is from?
I saw it on lolitawardrobe a few weeks ago but they don't sell it anymore and I can't for the life of me remember what it was called.

>>10007018
Dolly is such a great fashion. I don’t have muched saved, I’d love an image dump if any anons have a folder

Don’t forget Cult Party with more traditional kawaii influences!

Going to be brave and selfpost (sorry for the strange pose, haha). How can I improve this coord? I was thinking a more prominent necklace or a scarf would make it look a bit better. Any recommendations?

>>10007816
I think this looks cute! But I'd choose a jacket with asymmetrical hems. I'm not sure whether it's the pose but the one you're wearing has a strange cut, or maybe looks strange with the rest of the coord.

>>10007826
Thank you, and thanks for the advice! Asymmetry will make it look so much better. The jacket is from the late 40s, so it’s a bit nipped in at the waist.

>>10007816
yea i would go with a cute long knitted cardigan or something not so professional looking- not that that’s bad if that was what you were going for

>>10007158
I sometimes feel like dolly kei is me getting "dressed up"
lul

>>10007816
That jacket is too short for the look you've got going here, and please, please, PLEASE, Moris, do NOT put these fake plastic flower crowns in your hair!!!

To make hair accessories, I coil bits of hanging lace into my bobby pins and wear my hair very naturally and mussed. It helps that I have texture and wave in my hair.

A long white or beige cardi would work here, anon, especially one that's aran in knit pattern.

That background garden is gorgeous. Where is that, your garden?

>>10007865
Thank you! Y’all are so helpful
>>10007964
Flower crown cheapness noted! I do have some lacy hair clips that will probably work much better with the coord. And thank you for the compliment on my backyard! It’s literally just a backyard, nothing too special. It gets really green when it rains, though, so it’s perfect for picture taking.

So: long cardigan instead of short jacket, throw some asymmetry in there, and use nicer quality hair accessories! Thank y’all so much for being so helpful

>>10007816
Other than the jacket, those look like very versatile pieces, so well done.


What are people's thoughts on jewellery? Is there such a thing as mori jewellery that doesn't look like it was made poorly on etsy?
At the moment I wear a small antique silver locket but I don't like wearing the same thing every day.

>>10008139
Bronze or wooden jewelry, or maybe jewelry with fake flowers/insects, is what I think of as "mori jewelry".

>>10007964
If the flower crown is well down I think it's totally okay to wear one to be honest, especially if the outfit has a spring vibe.

>>10007812

Speaking of which. There's a male j-fash person I used to follow on tumblr, I think he deleted his account. He used to post cult-party coords with him and his friends. I know this is not terribly specific, but he was young and quite cute, looked hispanic. Anyone know if he's still around? Really great outfits. Think he was a fashion student somewhere in Cali.

>>10007816
Aaaand here’s the same coord, with a sweater I thrifted yesterday! I think it looks much better, although I want to include more lighter layers, get a better necklace, and get a nice lacy headdress to wear with it. Can’t thank y’all enough!

>>10010134
Did that sweater come with shoulder pads in it? (No offense intended if your shoulders are just that broad. The proportions just look a bit off with how flowy everything else is.)

>>10010142
Nah, just have broad shoulders, haha. Of course, it could be exaggerated due to layering. I agree with the strange proportions, though! Looks a little top heavy.

>>10010202
Wait a minute, just realized that I took the photo from an odd angle. That could be part of it as well. If you want to see my body type more accurately, I have a photo pretty early on in the Halloween thread. Just search Christine, if you want!

>>10007816
>>10010134
The new sweater makes it worse. It makes your body look weirdly oblong and emphasises your wide shoulders. What you need is a much shorter sweater or at least you need to do up a button near the top. With your kind of figure, you need something to draw the eye inward near the chest or waist basically. Personally I'd try something like pic related

>>10010134
>>10010209
A loose belt like the left girl in >>10008152 would be another option

>>10010134
it looks lots better anon, way to go! I want to sit and have a picnic under that beautiful tree in your garden

>>10010212
>>10010209
Thanks so much for the suggestion! I always struggle finding cardigans that work on me, they make me look blocky half the time.
>>10010214
Thank you so much!!

>>10007018
Dolly Kei is based on the clothing worn in Grimm's fairytales, meaning mostly traditional european clothing), not russian...

A lot of gyaru brands have mori-suitable stuff atm (or rather every fall).

>>10014658
The Blablahospital (guro brand) designer got a mori phase atm.

>>10014659

>>10013820
NAYRT and maybe off topic but... from what I understood, dolly kei uses very "heavy" clothes (both physically and metaphorically), with complicated or old-looking patterns (e.g. arabesques) and thick fabrics such as velvet, tweed and brocade. There are many layers and details, in a "more is more" philosophy. Overall the looks resemble that of an old doll in an antique shop. So as I said this is what I think dolly kei is, but nowadays I see a lot of light and flowy outfits tagged as dolly kei. They remind me more of natural kei or mori kei. Have I got dolly kei wrong or has it somehow changed from when it was born?

>>10014829
>Have I got dolly kei wrong or has it somehow changed from when it was born?
Dolly Kei was always based on traditional european clothing and Grimm's fairytales as stated by the coining brand Grimoire.

>>10014852
To add:
http://www.japanesestreets.com/reports/1277/the-fairy-tale-style-of-dolly-kei

>>10007242
Ah I’m late to say this, but thanks anon! Great images.

>>10014829
There’s always been confusion, probably a lot of the things tagged dolly would fit more as cult party or natural/mori.

>>10015576
You're welcome, anon.

>>10014829
>Has it somehow changed from when it was born?
Dolly kei is static, so it's inspirations and ideals aren't evolving. It's effectively dead, which is sad, but on the other hand its distinct differences from mori and natural makes it less elitist than lolita with the old school and new school divisions.
Any anons still wearing it? I haven't touched it since 2008 but I still have my pieces.

>>10016009
>but I still have my pieces.

sell them! lots of people love dolly kei

>>10016009
>Any anons still wearing it? I haven't touched it since 2008 but I still have my pieces.

I gave it a try a while ago but I still have to get the hang of it. Do you have any pictures of your old outfits? I'd love to see them!

>>10016120
I'm thinking about it. 10 years is a long time to hold onto something.

>>10016124
It was well before I had a decent camera, so I don't have any pics. I'll take some of my favourite pieces when I have time though. Dolly kei is a lot of fun - I hope you keep at it.

>>10013820
>>10007018
isn’t it both? I mean, when I think fairytales I think Hansel and Gretel and Baba Yaga. but I think dolly is kind of small but if there was more of it it could even be broken into substyles? like how dolls vary a lot too

Is there any brand that sells good quality custom-sized natural kei OPs? Most OPs from Asian brands that fit my bust/waist are too small in the shoulders and arms. People have directed me to Miss Point before but their quality seems meh. I’m looking for good quality cotton pieces that hold up over time.

I wish mori wasn’t so dead

>>10021091
It isnt though. I have a lot of mori friends on IG and the tag is pretty popular. Facebook groups are moderately active. Where I live, the mori aesthetic is not that uncommon and some people wear it without knowing the label. Mori isnt a very popular style, but it definitely isnt dead either.

Same Where I live you can find people wearing low key mori all the time. I only follow anything mori because I have apparently had one foot in the fashion for years.

i have a lot of miss point and it's significantly nicer than my regular taobao stuff anon, give it a shot

Id recommend the band charan po rantan to any anons into dolly kei! their outfits aren’t always dolly kei bht their music is rly klesmer inspired and it’s so fun and imo rly fits the dolly mood!!

It's the faun release season again.

I live is super rural WI. Like the kinda place where you think your dog is walking up behind you and it turns out to be a deer.

A lot of people seem to do an inadvertent Mori look. Layers in the fall and winter, natural colors, Fur and thick textured fabrics, and a worn out pair of boots. Some people ruin it with a camo coat, but it is hick country out here nobody is trying to be mori. I have always tried to cultivate a natural camo in what I wear.

We don't really have many clothes stores in the area so stuff is often worn out patched and faded.

A lot of IG's I follow seem to be from Russia

>>10025548
That must make a great backdrop for pictures!

>>10025721
It can be when its not terrible out. Also we have a lot of Amish/menilites (I forget which) in my specific area. So it kind of gives the area a weird aesthetic. Not exactly Mori, but more natural and old school.

Sorry for the late answer, I live in Italy. I remember an old teacher of mine who always wore mori, as well as some of my mum's colleagues. Sometimes I see people on the bus who wear it, too. I wouldn't say it's the exact same version you see online, but the aesthetic is extremely similar.

>>10029849
I imagine that everyone in the alps dresses mori. Just my head cannon.

>>10029840

These are so gorgeous

>>10030241
Yes, her designs are beautiful.

I’m living in the mountains of Fukushima for a short while and last night I met a girl at a party who was an actual real-live lifestyler - as in, she works for a women’s forestry society, cooks with mountain wild plants, and hunts mushrooms as a hobby (she’s not the first person I’ve met with that hobby). Of course she dresses in practical mori. So cool! I’d post pics but I’m not Facebook friends with her and don’t want to be a creep.

I love mori but I live in a city so this is basically as close as I get. Urbanizing my outfit makes no sense to the mori lifestyle, but I can't just move out. Any ideas to inserting a little natural touch into more outfits?

How about adding some knit? Like wearing an oversized open knit fest, knit socks and the like

>>9984893
I think a combination of light cotton and linen pieces would give you the right look without being a sweatlodge. >>9984942 has the right idea.

>>10016009
>Any anons still wearing it? I haven't touched it since 2008 but I still have my pieces.

I absolutely love it and still try to collect it, I feel like it's way easier to combine with everyday wear and tone it down for work. Pic attached is my favorite piece in my collection.

Coeur de Vague tends to be on the fancier side but I'm thinking of trying to incorporate one of their more natural-colored dresses into a mori co-ord.

>>10032131
You do realize mori was born in Tokyo, right? Just wear the fashion...
But if you feel like it isn't practical enough for you, you can always get inspiration from post-apocalyptic styles or strega and switch the color palette and fabrics around a bit.
If I'm actually hiking or walking a lot I go with leggings, hiking boots, and then an assymetrical tunic and go with a piece that has fake layers instead of actually layering a bunch.

>>10032539
That's gorgeous anon, where did you get that?

>>10032131
Its fashion it belongs in the city. It doesn't do much for us in the country. Mori just happens to kinda work in rural areas.

I'd love to DIY something like this myself

Would anyone be interested in joining a mori discord server? (If there isn’t one aldready, and in that case i want to join) I imagine that could be comfy, most people that are into the fashion seem to be so nice. I have never made a server before though but it doesn’t seem too difficult

>>10034269
I would be interested but not if I saw the link on cgl. I'd worry the server would be full of drama like everything is in here.

>>10030585
Anon, that’s amazing. Hearing about we makes me oddly happy

>>9997131
anon it’s in this thread haha

>>10034269
>>10035523
There is a discord. Check higher up in this thread. Its not very active, but maybe you can join in and help that.

found this cute store, it's pricey but their stuff looks gorgeous

What are these kind of pants called?

>>10039207
Just based on the pic, it looks like ゆるいパンツ is the term for baggy loose pants like that but I don’t think there’s any more specific of a title. “Yurui pantsu” yurui = easy, relaxed, baggy

>>10010134
brown leather waist belt belt that matches your shoes would be a good addition. I think a long cardigan could still work if it was longer, a darker neutral colour and triangle shaped if that makes sense.

>>10006281
Renfaire shops custom make boots that will definitely suit the mori look, though they're usually handmade from leather so you can expect to pay a minimum of $300. Well worth it though, with the right care they'll last a lifetime.

Is the style beginner friendly i want to try this out but my thrift stores are all very modern leaning and there really isnt such that fits it. im also quite broke

>>10039207
In English probably "harem pants" or "slouch pants".

>>10042468
I would say so, it's friendly for re-using pieces, there aren't many strict rules and very thriftable. Can you use ebay? I find a lot of stuff on there.


Unrelated someone must have this pic saved, I lost it when my laptop died - Girl in a field of maybe cow parsley, red hair with tiny bangs and earmuffs. It was one of my fav inspo pics.

What's your current favourite piece in your wardrobe?
