It's November and the weather is starting to get colder.
This time of the year people may want to just keep warm instead of Kawaii with layers of coats, boots, scarfs and mundane clothes.
However you can still dress up cute, you can still look Kawaii while trying to keep warm.
In this article will be some tips for wearing Fairy Kei in Winter.
What is Fairy Kei?
Fairy Kei ("Fairy Fashion") is a Japanese Street fashion made out of pastel colours (Although dark colours can still be used). More and more people oversea's have started wearing the style, and it has quickly become the most popular kawaii style, after lolita.
The style is easily confused with similair styles such as Pop Kei or Decora. To find out more about Fairy Kei, click here to read our All About post!
