Take care of you own board summerfag

dump some pics or pose a question to get discussion started

Does anyone know where to get those fluffy legwarmers(pic related). I saw them a while back on Rakuten, but they've fallen off of the face of the earth.

>>8402369
these are similar

where do you guys get fairy kei accessories?

>>8402397
claires accessories and walmart

>>8402369

>>8402402

>>8402517
kinda wanna make that my wallpaper. It's beautiful.

>>8402397
Go to fairy tips on tumblr, she has a list of stores. I personally love cake love (kerakerak on taobao) and have had good experiences with Nerdy Little Secrets lucky packs, though she's been lacking with products lately due to amount of orders.
>>8402369
Not exactly, but this is cute.

Does anyone have any favorite Fairy-Kei bloggers?

>>8405713
I used to follow fairy princess gyaru on blogspot for her hauls (so many cute things!) but then they stopped updating.
Elizabunni used to wear fairy kei but now she wears "flapper style" and larme more. Her pictures are good as are her reviews, but she has a bit of the tumblr "i look so ugly so i'll take fifty selfies" idea going on.

bump
fairy kei specific threads usually die pretty quickly. Is there anyone here who actually wears it? Or just casual admirers?

>>8409625
I noticed that yeah, these threads die pretty quickly. It's probably because there isn't a lot of drama in the fairy kei community, and it's usually pretty hard to fuck it up. (not saying it hasn't been done, just less common than lolita) Also fairies (is that even the word) aren't usually as catty as the lolitas. And yeah, I do wear fairy kei. I wish these threads lasted longer.

>>8409672
That really sucks. I've only worn it twice or thrice because I mainly wear gyaru and lolita, but it's still a really fun fashion. I feel like most fairy kei coords are a bit off, especially on tumblr, but there's not really a feeling of any ~elitists~ like in lolita and nobody really wants to nitpick, so it just goes on.

>>8409625
I want to start wearing it. I've been a fan of it for 5 or so years now but I've never worn it because I am afraid to wear so many pastels at once.

>>8409794
I agree a lot of fairy kei feels off but I like it. It has that imperfect vibe old school Lolita used to have. Personally I don't care about outfits looking 100% perfect, it's almost impossible to look perfect unless you really dedicate most of your time and resources to one fashion style.

Sine this thread isn't really very active, can I ask what you would tell a beginner who's hasn't started yet but wants to? I'd like to have a few fairy kei outfits with pieces I can mix and match. I appreciate any advice you have. <3

>>8409806
hmm, I know this advice seems kinda off with all the lolitas on here, but bodyline is your friend. You can get cheap cutsews (esp now, 1000 yen for some) pettis and bloomers to wear. Really though, don't be afraid of pastels! I've never bought secondhand, but check out fair kei sales on facebook. Also, Fairy-tips on tumblr has great resources!

>>8409806
It's great that you started! Always happy to see a new fairy~

As for learning fairy kei, I have to say the first thing is applicable to all fashions. Simply being absorbed in the fashion, seeing outfit shots or looking at stock photos, will improve your coordinating skills. It's very interesting the amount of knowledge that can be absorbed without words.
But as for written things:
> Petticoats/panniers aren't a necessity. If you are wearing them, always check that your underwear isn't showing through. Puff them up nicely before leaving, and bloomers can always be thrown under for some additional figure.
> Legwear is super important! Fairy kei loves its colors, so don't be afraid to be extra colorful with your legs.
> Bigger is better with fairy kei jewelry. Large chunky rings? 3-5 inch resin necklaces with dangling charms? Triple bracelets? All good.
> Platforms exist, but aren't too popular in the fashion. Many people are wearing tea parties and pastel sweet lolita shoes, but thicker sneakers paired with slim-fitting tights is classic fairy.
> Hair can vary from casual to fancy. Don't be afraid to play around with yours.
> The fairy kei silhouette is frumpy on top and slim-fitting on the bottom. You'll find male fairy kei wearers might have puffy pants, but slim tights or socks. Tight crop tops, even pastel, don't fit the fashion.

As for building a new wardrobe:
> Outerwear: loose cardigan, semi-fitted casual jacket, and oversized hoodie/varsity jacket (the second is currently trending)
> lots n lots of pastel tees!
Can get these anywhere, but for an extra touch, you can buy one of those milklim detachable collars in pastel colors to plop on.

(1/2)

>>8409806
>>8409906
> petticoat, bloomers, and slim pastel legwear.
Panniers and bloomers you're better off getting from bodyline, milklim, 6%, taobao, etc. but just basic slim legwear is obtainable in the average basics store. For an extra touch, bobon21 on taobao has some really nice legwear options that would work great in toned down fairy kei (like heart cut out pants)
> Patterned socks/tights
Leggings work fine too in fairy kei, and can look cute with semi-clashing patterns (star themed tights in bluexpink and polka dot socks in bluexgreen). Like earlier, be sure to have some section of leg slim-fitting.
> Chunky sneakers, boots and nice flats.
Boots in fairy kei tend to be chunkier than gyaru and lolita, but not quite rough. Think of rain boots- wide but not messy. Sneakers and leather/pleather shoes explained earlier.
> Lots of mix and matchable necklaces, rings, bracelets and headwear.
Accessories are really what pushes normal pastel fashion to fairy kei. Don't be afraid to go to a party store and snatch up the packs of cheap jewelry- so long as you don't wear more than 4 at a time, it's all good. Bracelets tend to be elastic type, and piled, but a good chain type would be a nice statement piece. Necklaces should be rather large, as they often get drowned out in the details otherwise. Hair accessories are as far out as you want them to be. Other items like chokers, garters, masks, etc. can be added, but aren't necessarily for a versatile wardrobe.
> At least two bags: one shaped, one tote
This is a general jfashion thing, where the shaped bag is too small to fit anything so colorful totes are added. Buttons and brooches can be used to jazz up these items. If you're lucky enough to snatch one of Milk's giant heart bags, then just the one will be enough.

(2/3)

>>8409806
>>8409926
(sorry for how long this is turning out to be)

Basic fairy kei colors:
Pinks, yellows, white.
Pastel or muted blues, purples, orange and green.
Darker versions of the above color as well as black and other variations can be used, but should be used in small doses. If it's something like the elastic of a bracelet, the cord of a necklace, or maybe like a bow on a graphic design on a tee shirt, it doesn't matter.

> Two appearance rule
Every color used should appear twice, but usually thrice. Try to use it in two main pieces and one accessory. Ex- pastel blue bunny on t shirt is paired with blue headbow and blue striped socks.

> 80's influence
Not as big a deal as it was in the beginning of the fashion. But inspiration from cute characters is still huge in the fashion. Pokemon, Disney, mahou shoujos, etc. can really push a meh outfit into fairy kei realm.

I... think that's it for now? Hopefully? Never realized before today typing this up that fairy kei is quite complex. Hope this all helped!

Thanks for the advice!

>>8409872
I don't like Bodyline's cutsews very much but I've always thought about getting one or two of their panniers. Curse their sudden raising prices. I feel like I look so bad in pastels, but I love them.

>>8409906
>>8409926
>>8409942
Don't worry about it being long, it's helpful. I'm pretty familiar with the fashion but it's always a bit hard to figure out where to start and what's the best way to do things when first starting. The two/three color appearance rule is an interesting one but useful, I think it makes it easier to ensure an outfit is balanced. I'll have to keep that in mind for other jfashion styles as well.

Hey fairies! What's your thought on this skirt in green for fairy kei?

>>8409990
Search for vintage Barbie/carebears tshirs on Ebay if your looking to find cheaper tops. Also, oldschool My little pony and the like. 80's influence isn't as big anymore, but they still had cool tshirts...

>>8409990
Whew, I'm glad that it helped! The two/three color rule is pretty universal for fashion, but people often forget it in alternative fashions.

>>8410001
It would work great! Pic attached is it in lavender, but it would work just as good in green. The color appears to be accurate to stock photos, so it's all good.

>>8410001
More bodyline skirts that could work in fairy kei:
l343
l125
l434 (best in pinkxsax)

>>8410086

What do you think of this for Fairy-kei?
http://m.ebay.com/itm/Sakura-Seifuku-Sailor-Uniform-Blue-and-Pink-all-sizes-ships-from-US-/191477210885
I really want one...

>>8410032
I'd actually love to do that anyway because I love the Care Bears. I grew up with the originals even though I was born in the very early 1990's because my mom and grandma passed theirs on to me.

I really like the 80's influence of fairy kei, I think that's probably why I originally liked it so much.

>>8410198

I think it looks nice, but try not to pair it with a pleated skirt, otherwise it'll end up looking too 'schoolgirl'

God I want that bag

http://m.rosewholesale.com/cheapest/trendy-color-matching-and-chain-573384.html?lkid=93074

Instagram bag!

>>8411030

Noob question definitely but does anyone know how stretchy these are/if they stretch at all? Website lists only flat measurements.

>>8409672
But fairy is totally wearable as casual fashion, unlike the latest lolita trends. I'm going to wear it asap, just waiting for a pink dress in my mail.
Btw, anyone know where i can find knee length or a bit above the knee skirts (NO pettis) for fairy with an elastic that don't make me feel unconfortable? I find only too short skirts like below 40 cm. I'm not fatty chan, just having a 71 cm waist (tfw pear shaped) and most elastics make me feel i'm suffocating, even if listing says waist is over 80 max fit.
>tfw i have IBS

>>8411443
I feel your pain, I have the same problem. It's half the reason I'm switching from lolita to more casual jfash.

What's maniaQ's quality like? Pic unrelated, I just really liked it

>>8402400
Literally ageplayer.

>>8411451
oh my god fucking cgl if I hear the word ageplay one more time I might actually sprout a diaper and start crying.

>>8411460

>>8409672
it's super easy to fuck up because the west doesn't understand what fairy kei is. see attached

>>8411463
This is exactly what I am doing right now.

>>8411468
I know, that's why I posted it. :^)

>>8411473
>:^)

>>8411464
okay so yeah, I was wrong. Holy fuck why'd she think that's a good idea

>>8411489
Stop replying to bait jesus christ

>>8411445
I hate to dress in normalfag fashion and wearing lolita only occasionally while my wardrobe is crying of dullness... no. Better to buy some casual jfashion items that are confy and not with PU shoes, petticoat inside the skirt and the blouse that is bulky inside the JSK. I would try later to create some casual lolita, but for now it's easier to dress fairy.

>>8411434
It's not very stretchy, it fits my 68cm waist but it wouldn't stretch much bigger, I don't think.

>>8410198
Definitely agree with the other anon about not wearing it together or it'll look too school-girl style. In the case that you do, you can try putting large accessories and a big peignor or puffy outerwear with it to make it more fairy.

Pic related: nanchette and fairy

>>8411443
It think lolita being so out there, even casually, is what makes people like it so much. For some reason, the idea of standing out to such an extent but still being "normal" to a niche of people is very interesting to people.

>>8411449
I've heard good things about maniaQ backpacks. Versatile and long-lasting. Unsure about the rest.

>>8412348
I was hoping more for reviews on their skirts but thanks anon!

Do you all mind if I post some fairy kei itas? It doesn't feel right to post them in the ita thread because they're not lolita. Pic not an ita, but actually a coord I like

Don't want this thread to die so bumping with some nice coords

>>8412327
another example of fairy kei w/ seifukus

>>8407268
That's the cutest seifuku I've ever seen. Source?

>>8412516
that's kyary pamyu pamyu

>>8407268
Not fairy kei. Colors are too bright

>>8412404
fairy kei itas would be good. We can nitpick how to change their outfits to a good fairy kei outfit.

> pic not related to itas

Is uchuu kei still a thing? Was it ever a thing?

>>8413785
Tumblr made it up.

>>8411464
idk man I kinda dig it

>>8413953
the skirt itself isn't too bad, and the tights could work. Everything else just flops, especially paired together with that makeup

>>8413785
>Faggot Ever After

>>8413777
Cool ok I didn't want to clog this thread up with it if no one else wants it. Tumblr is a goldmine for these things
Let's start with this. Tagged as fairy kei. This isn't even close. This is more like kandi kid

>>8414395
As someone who would love to know more about the fashion, seeing fairy kei itas would actually be really helpful for me. I'm still having trouble determining what makes a really good fairy kei coord, and this thread has been great.

>>8411464
this looks like pastel retro pinup drag

>>8414395
This is a good example. One of the (many) things that bugs me about this co-ord is that the general feel of a fairy kei outfit is 'light and fluffy'. You can't just throw on all of the pink stuff at Walmart and call it a day. To me at least, the shape of the clothing matters just as much as the color.

>>8414743
Yeah like >>8415238 said, fairy kei should look and feel light and fluffy. Not rainbow vomit. Pastels should be very light, and don't overaccesorize. See pic attached for a example of what not to do
It was tagged as fairy kei but isn't close

>>8415506

>>8415506
Another ita. It just doesn't work out, the legwear is wtf and the hair is so plain.

Well, the problem is that a lot of people confuse fairy kei with pop kei. Which isn't that strange considering they both started at the Spank! shop.

If your coord is more neon/bright than pastel, or has way to much pop cult reverences, It's pop kei.
Pop kei also doesn't necessarily have to have a light/fluffy look.

However, a bad coord is a bad coord. Please leave the bad 80s/90s shit home and only take the good things from that era Tumblr.

>>8415554
looks like how i used to dress in middle school (aka wannabe scene girl gone wrong)
have another thing inappropriately tagged as fairy kei

decora isn't fairy kei can we stop tagging it as such

>>8415681
lol girl in front was a huge bitch to me for literally no reason

>>8415789
Do tell please. More fairy kei itas attached

And to break up these eyesores, let's have some nice inspiration

>>8415807
I agree. I'm gonna do an insp dump.

>>8416174

>>8416177
When does it stop being fairy kei and become cult party kei?

>>8416177
Some things about this, like the brightness of the socks and busyness of the shirt pattern make it not quite fairy kei
More inspo attached

>>8416182
that isn't close to cult party kei kek
more fairy kei inspo attached

>>8415615
>wearing tutus as bottoms
>waaah stop with your 80s influence
Lol how old are you even

>>8416177

>>8416186
All the pictures of cpk look like that tho, like ones that get posted on here, what am I missing?

>>8416184
You're stupid if you seriously believe one or two brighter colors in a fairy kei coord or busy but still pastel patterns make something not fairy kei

>>8415801
Told her she looked super cute and that I love decora and she rolled her eyes and just walked away with her raver friends. :(

>>8416187
You're new to trolling, aren't you.

>>8416177
This is a mix of fairy kei and cult party kei. Both use pastels and have a light floaty scheme, and as both have used darker pieces in small amounts, it can be hard to distinguish. The hairstyle in this, tight braids, and the peignor really make this fairy kei to a mix between the two. The bright colored socks and thick chunk of white in the shoes further separate the look from traditional fairy kei, and while not quite pushing it to the cult party kei direction, makes it easier to distinguish.
>>8416184 on the other hand is still very fairy kei. The colors all all general pastels as usual, but the fluffy feeling of the clothing and hair (with the pompom hairties, fluffy jacket and scarf) paired with the rather textured totes (which is more frequent in cult party) makes it distinctly fairy kei, and not at all cult party kei. The polka dot skirt pattern is still very uch fairy kei.
>>8416186
Can also overlap in multiple styles. it can be related to fairy kei, larme, cult party, etc. Gingham is a very popular trend worldwide in warmer weather, and the fluffy angel piece came in a metamorphose lucky pack, as well as featured heavily in larme kei brands. The skirt seems to be most like larme or cult party, but can still work in fairy kei.

> pic related: fairy kei with strong CPK influences

>>8414395
While the giant hello kitty bow ring and the makeup is reminiscent with fairy kei, the rest doesn't it. Graphic tees work in fairy kei, but they should be paired with some brooches, collars or a cover up to make it more than just a graphic tee
.>>8415238
Explained well. Pastels, but not light and floaty. Obviously influenced to some degree and could pass off as a jfashion to some, but not fairy kei.
>>8415554
The silhouette is wrong with this.The petticoat looks a bit too big, and as already said, the legwear is wrong. I have to say the shirt+skirt combo is the biggest offender. The shirt doesn't fit the light and airy look of fairy kei. With a switch to a comfy pullover, removal of the blue necklace, the top part of this could be casual fairy.

>>8416243
>doesn't know that tutus were an 80s trend
sounds like you need to learn your fashion. I bet you think creepers are a new thing.

>>8416393
I never said one thing about Petticoats.

>>8416259
dark main piece. not fairy. just because it has a peignoir doesn't mean it's cpk influenced

>>8416200
cult party must have an OTT look using many accesories. (often pins and buttons) it also relies on very light pastels There also is a lack of cult party motifs (pop of red, pop of bright colors in an otherwise extremely pale coord, medical theme, creepy theme, virgin theme, religious theme, dolly theme, mix of vintage and pop, cult party makeup)

could this shirt be used in fairy kei?

>>8417135
Cult party doesn't have to use all pastels. That's mostly a Western thing to do with it.

>>8411464
I feel like I'm missing something, I think this is kinda cute? Her makeup probably needs a little lightening up but that's all I'm seeing as off.

>>8411003
bumping because if anyone finds this bag i want it now

>>8412516
Bodyline has some that are sort of similar (the whole solid colour with accent collar thing).

http://www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/showProduct2.asp?id=8253&pageNumber=1&pageStop=stop_4&noSubType=N

I have a question that is probably stupid but: Does Fairy Kei Have to be all pastels and pinks? Or would that be considered something else?

>>8411003
holy shit how did a gaijin get that bag? i've only seen it in japanese street snaps and assumed it was from a brand that was hard to get overseas

>>8417334
it needs to be mainly pastels/white/offwhites with pops of brighter but still light colors and red (like that pic)

>>8411008
not appropriate for fairy kei. also rosewholesale is one of those places like sheinside where the quality is shit and its overpriced

>>8411451
even japanese girls use claires for accesories but i feel like if you use entirely accessories/pieces from normie stores it doesn't count as jfash

>>8417714
>>8417398
It's from Segakawaii and came out a while ago. I think they are sold out now but I swear I saw it being sold on some US sites.

>>8417126
The peignor+nightie-style dress pushes it in a CPK direction, silhouette wise. It could still be fairy kei, depends on how it's coorded.
>>8417325
What are you wearing it with?
>>8417503
Some anon already typed up a whole summary of fairy kei. Scroll up and reread.

>>8417816

>>8417820

>>8417816
pink shorts, blue socks (the exact same shade of blue) and white lolita mary janes

>>8416186
These suspenders are so cute! Does anyone know where they're from?

>>8417989
http://kawaiigoods.storenvy.com/products/10015920-angel-wings-suspenders
I think these are the same ones?

>>8418023
nope. original by milklim
those are a replica

>>8417827
You'd be better off calling it inspired fairy kei. It doesn't quite sound like a fairy kei outfit, as one anon said earlier, because it has the right colors but not the "fluffy" light silhouette/feeling.

>>8418466
didn't finish text.
Unless the shorts looked like the pic before and you styled your hair with the right accessories, it's probably just going to be a normie outfit with pastels.

this terrifies me but also I love it

>>8418469
the shorts are more like, slightly too large denim, and there's def gonna be accesories. Bows + macaron necklace to start, also, hair is either gonna be styled like that or like mahou prince's if I cut it all off

>>8417135
Everything I see looks like fairy kei with a shawl. Swear to god. I still don't get it.

>>8418490
If you want pandering anon, get out of 4chan.
Never did I say that you had to "wear shorts unless they're made out of fluffy material". I said that if the "shorts looked like the pic before" and that if you styled your hair correctly, then it "probably" was going to be a generic outfit.
Also thanks for going to fairy tips for your cry and getting told the same thing I was telling you. Feels good knowing that I've got the right sense of style.

>>8410892
if it's the matching, or a pastel pleated skirt, then there's no problem with it looking schoolgirl...just look at examples like >>8409926

Would fairy kei look cute on a short, chubby, pearshaped girl?

>>8420394
The silhouette is supposed to be floaty and fluffy, so if you have ham arms, tight-fitting shirts and fat spilling over the top of socks then just don't.

If you actually mean chubby in a non-noticeable way and aren't a hambeast lurking and trying to receive validation then go for it.

Probably noob question, but where do you get pastel sneakers like in >>8416184. Can you get them on taobao or is it a overseas brand store only type of thing?

>>8420503
Hers are from Swimmer but they don't sell them on their online shop. There are replicas all over Taobao though.

>>8420503
Taobao has them, but check out local shoe stores first. A lot of UK stores carry pastel shoes.

>>8420503
I'm sure you could find some online from normie brands as well

>>8420503
If you're more after just pastel sneakers rather than that exact style of shoe in the picture the ICED line of Irregular Choice has a couple of pastel pairs if you have the money to shell out for them. http://www.irregularchoice.com/shop/womens/list/collections-103/

Otherwise, >>8420933 has the right idea. It's best to get shoes in person and/or from a place you can return them to since shoe sizes can be all over the place and you don't wanna be stuck with ill-fitting shoes.

>>8420592
>>8421071
>>8420933
>>8420985

Thanks anons! Irregular choice looks like it'll be out of my price range,especially since I don't live in Europe, but thanks anyway.

I don't remember seeing any pastel sneakers that are what I'm looking for when I was in shoe stores before, but I'll look more seriously for them next time. I would rather try them on before buying, but if I can't find any, it'll probably be the taobao route for me. I have had good luck with shoes from there once before so hopefully it holds. Thanks again.

>>8420420
I like to believe I'm not a fullblown hambeast. Maybe it's easier to answer my question with this picture as a reference. I really don't want to ruin this cute fashion.

>>8423000
Go for it. Just don't get Asian brand tights (because the print will stretch and they won't be comfy) and try not to wear UTKs because they don't flatter anyone's legs.

Other than that, you should be fine.

>>8423000
Just remember to dress for your figure. The silhouette already has some puff in the hip area, so just don't go overboard with your bottoms and balance it with your top. Find your "charm point" and draw attention to it with badges, stickers, patterns, etc.

>>8419854
Oh man I knew that was gonna get posted

>>8423035
>>8423495
Thanks Anons, I'll definitely keep your advice in mind!

Where can you get those cute, multi-colored false lashes I've seen in fairy kei? They look super cute.

>>8426771
Aren't those just normal lashes with some coloring? Can you post an example?

Does anybody else feel like F-Kei is becoming so OTT now that it's difficult to distinguish from Decora and Sweet lolita? Honestly, I think the three are merging waaaayyy too much. Pic related is what a lot of fairy kei looks like now

>>8433841
I wouldn't call that fairy kei but rather decora with pastel colors.

>>8433841
Prince doesn't even do fairy kei. only decora (but inappropriately tags things are fairy kei)

>>8434413
*as
holy shit im tired sorry
have some more fairy kei

>>8402396
Yeaaa no..

>>8402369
I found this at

>>8433841
this definitely isn't Fairy-kei. Honestly, I like it when styles mix, it becomes really interesting as long as it's done well.

Yo

found this cute dress, I'm too big to fit

>>8434413
Doesn't he do some fairy kei? For example, pic attached is a bit more OTT fairy kei but still not decora yet.

>>8435148
On the other hand, he also tagged this fairy kei when it clearly is not.

>>8435152
the biggest problem I see with his fairy kei outfits other than occasional horrible color coordination is too many hair accessories. Pic related looks totally normal with head cropped.

>>8435164
This would also be a good example of casual fairy kei with less head stuff

How do you guys feel about Himdedere-senpaii?

>>8435241

Who?

The lines for fairy kei are so blurred nowadays that it makes me nearly sick. I complained about the sales group on FB because the mods are shit and let items that are clearly not for fairy kei to be sold and when confronted, say that 'other styles such as pastel goth will work too'.

Such bullshit, I swear.

You can call me a pissbaby if you want, it's just that this is what got me into j-fashion and to see people ruin it is disheartening.

>>8435838
She's been making a lot of fairykei and decora videos

>>8435871
It's much more blurred in the western hemisphere because most of the people who actively follow the fashion are either
1) attention lovers who tag eVERYTHING fairy kei, lolita, decora, pop kei, spank!, etc.
2) people who don't post anything online at all
or 3) newbies who think 1 is amazing and follow all the wrong steps.

The best thing for you to do is actually post real fairy kei stuff, either coordinates or collages, and generate some enthusiasm for genuine fairy.

The top part is what confuses me the most. Sometimes a cute tshit does it and sometimes it's 3 or 4 layers.

Also, what are the japanese search terms for fairy kei?

bumping

>>8439833
Usually the top has to be balanced with the bottom. If it's a tee with fitted shorts, it usually won't cut it. But if it's a tee underneath a fluffy hoodie riding halfway down the fitted shorts, the overall ensemble is balanced and fits under fairy kei. Wearing puffy bloomers or tutus is just an easy way to make the coordination easier.

>>8435911
Imo she's more decora than fairy. I feel like her and prince are the kind of people that contribute to the misunderstandings about the differences in either style.

>>8415238

Can anyone post some AP used in Fairy Kei?

Is there any way for a guy to wear fairy key or even Decora without looking like a trap (I mean, is there actually fairy kei male clothes/accessories)

I don't wanna look like Junnyan either.

>>8442372

God typing in another language from my phone is horrible, sorry for misspellings and typos.

Is there pictures or even tutorials for boyish/male fairy kei/Decora?

>>8442304
I'm confused. It clearly lists on his page that he prefers they/he. Should I use they instead?

>>8442372

Fairy-tips on tumblr has a tag about "boyish fairy kei" and male inspiration.

How is this not just sweet lolita? Add fuzzy outwear and it's fairy? No way. I feel like the hemline is too low, the small AP skirts/salos are perfectly fine but the regular sized dresses, not so much.

At least for me, I'm not sure. Thoughts?

That's why I said borderline and put it in quotations. Some of the pics I'm posting I'm not sure is fairy kei or not, but it does have some of the elements. Pic related is something that I don't think is fairy kei, but it has some elements of it and it also has AP which is why I'm posting it.

Also cult parry has a more worn/used thrift ahop feel or tattered feel when it comes to accesories a lot.
I guess not sure how to explain it.

I like these kind of bead necklaces but how well do bright plastic beads go with fairy? Anyone's got more examples?

>>8456616
too mismatchy
>>8452309

>>8452036
cpk is messier. also pops of red and medical/dolly theme

>>8456616
Depends on the beads tbh

>>8452127
I don't think this is very helpful, but they sell those exact ones at dollar stores here.

>>8456616
Multiple big beads>monocolor chain

>>8458426
Where can I buy those big, less shiny beads? I can't find them anywhere online, not even wholesale.

Would this skirt work with fairy-kei? (I own the left colorway) Several anons in the thread I made about it suggested that it would even though I thought at first it was more otome-like. I'm relatively new to J-fashion outside of lolita though so I'm not quite the best judge but I always thought fairy-kei had to be pastels and pastels only and if there was any kind of a bright, darker color in there it can no longer work for the style?

Any fairy-kei coord ideas such as accessories and such that would go well with this skirt?

>>8460135
I can't see as your picture is too small

>>8460135
Definitely not, it's too dark as a main piece. You can throw in a dark color for fairy kei but it has to be something small. It'll definitely work for otome or even cult party kei though!

okay but why are you so rude to each other? like anybody can dress like he/she wants. Fairy kei is a rare fashion and instead of telling new faeries they can't be part of it we should teach them how to dress it. Fuck.

>>8460135
What color is it in reality? The pic is really tiny anon, so I can't tell exactly what colors it is, but if it's a nice pastel mint and peach in reality then it would probably work.

>>8460135
Anon, seriously, stop with this stupid ass skirt.

for fairy kei.

It's so hot now. Can anyone post summer fairy kei tips or coordinates?

>>8460333
Tbh a lot of newbies act like brats if you try to give them any guidance with the fashion because "fairy kei is all about being yourself and if u wanna wear black hello kitty shirts from Walmart you can don't tell me how to dress!!". Some people are really adamant about sticking to their newbie ita ways and listen to absolutely no tips or criticism because they just want to " express themselves uwu"

>>8460650
>>8460659
Thanks anon these look great! Particularly the aliexpress ones, I'll keep looking for some inspiration to use them.

One of the nicest and best sweet lolita/fairy kei girls hands down

I really love fairy kei and cpk, but both are very over the top for me...Is there a style that's pastel,chiffon heavy, but not accessory heavy?

>>8461796

Fairy kei isn't supposed to be very accessory heavy in the first place. That's just a bunch of Tumblrtards who meld Decora and F-Kei together. Pic related is more casual fairy

>>8461629
Princess Peachie! She is a well-liked tumblr/youtuber who wears sweet lolita, fairy kei and some other pastel stuff. I think she really likes seifukus?

>>8461796
Fairy kei ranges like any other fashion, but it's really not very OTT in origin. If you follow street snaps with fairy kei wearers, most of them aren't super OTT.

>>8443230
Is this really fairy kei? Seems a bit messy to me.

can we post some fairy kei itas / what not to do examples

>>8464486

>>8434413
at thing tags anything any tag so they get extra notes its annoying as fuck

>>8464486
I can't believe someone called this fairy kei...

>>8466343
Not even close

>>8466351
I've seen this girl get a lot of notes. I think she has potential to look cute, but this is not fairy kei.

>>8466354
This could be fixed by removing most of the accessories, fixing the hair and switching out the top.

>>8466363
Colors in this are too saturated. That top and those pants do not work together.

>>8466370
This feels like the typical beginner fairy kei outfit. It's trying, but not there yet.

>>8475732
I actually don't have a problem with your shoes, but the whole image is so blurred that it's difficult to really tell what's going on. The jewelry and the stars theme is pretty cute tho. Can you post a better picture?

So seagulls, I'm new to fairy. I'm really interested in picking up my first piece or two this coming pay, but I'm still a bit confused. Would taobao be my best bet for getting good pettis and accessories? I've never used taobao before but I'm willing to try it. I looked at Bodyline pettis too but a couple reviews said they were a bit iffy on their quality.

This one is the cutest of the bunch. >>8478285 isn't bad but very unbalanced. Way too many bracelets for such a simple look. One ring, one bracelet and the statement necklace would have been all they needed to look good. >>8478292 is a bit better, but don't you/person posted have any other shorts? Color wise they work, and the coordination is good enough to pull into fairy kei territory, but it would be good to get some more bottoms.

Bodyline petticoats are bad for lolita, but perfect for fairy kei. Most outfits with pannier in this thread have bodyline petticoats. As for accessories, bodyline has a few hair things, but taobao, etsy or storenvy would be your best bet for accessories/jewelry in general.

>>8482490

Some of bodyline panniers aren't lined, which results in the see through, while others are. You really just have to look at the picture and try to see if you can see the figure behind the layers of tulle- if you can, no lining, can't, then it's lined and no worries.

As for length, it differs on the petti. You can see measurements for length on the item description, so just measure down from waist/hip and see where it ends up. I own a bodyline petticoat for fairy kei and it hits just right on me from my waist, and I'm 5'6. So once again, depends on the petticoat.

In the case that you're stuck with a petticoat that's see through and too short, you can do three things. If it's see through, stick tights under it.Most tights have designs on the top, so it'll be a win-win situation. If it's sheer and short, you can either layer petticoats or stick bloomers under there.

She's kinda giving off a Fairy Kei Helga Pataki look, and I kinda love it.

Is this fairy kei?

>>8493331
No. Too OTT
This looks almost like.... Mahou kei? But I thought that wasn't a thing outside of tumblr

>>8493455
You're stupid if you seriously think fairy kei can't be OTT

>>8493455
That's what I thought. It's just that I keep seeing it tagged as fairy kei on tumblr.

How do you guys feel about seifukus in fairy kei? Can they be pulled off? If so how?

>>8493331
It's magical girl.

>>8493478
Fairy kei isn't usually OTT though. It's pretty wearable actually since a lot of it is clothes with normie cuts in light pastels with cute motifs. It's not inherently an OTT style like decora is. Also the silhouette was wrong in the picture.

>>8494024
How was the silhouette wrong? Fairy kei can be OTT and fairy decora is a thing. I guess I get wanting a definite style but it feels like people come from lolita and go overboard with needing to make "rules"
