Surviving Fairy Kei In Summer

Surving Fairy Kei in the Summer heat

It's that time of the year again where layers on layers and thick wigs are getting harder to wear. Fairy Kei is all about the layers which makes it seem impossible to wear during the summer however there are a few simple tips to surviving summer while wearing Fairy Kei. 

Don't layer up too much, Your health is more important then getting a certain amount of layers!

Hair 

It's best to keep the wigs to the side however if you do decide you still want to wear them, take a hair brush and a wig storage bag just in case it gets too hot and you decide you want to take it off. When its hot its best to stick to showing off your own hair whatever colour it is. You can easily make your real hair cute through srunchies, hair clips and more. Tying your hair up into bunches, odango, ponytails or even plaits help keep your hair of the back of your neck. 

Shorts 

For a cheap price, you can get mint coloured shorts in Primark which are perfect for the hot days. There are also a variety of stores online where you can get pastel shorts perfect for Fairy Kei. Click here to see the shorts in the picture on the right. The ones on the left are from bodyline.

Fans

Hand fans can help you cool down when in the heat. If you don't want an ordianary hand fan, you can get a variety of styles such as ones with anime characters printed on. For example, the fans in the picture on the right can be purchased here.

Short socks/Laced tights 

If you want to, you can still wear OTK/Thigh high socks as you usually would but summer is the perfect chance to wear short socks (You can even buy cute frilly socks from brands such as Angelic Pretty) if you are confortable showing of your legs. If your not comfortable, wear a pair of laced tights under your socks. 

Sleeves and dresses

Keep to short sleeves/ vest tops. Dresses are also another good option as they limit the amount of layers worn. Taobao is a good place to look for tops and dresses. 

Wear suncream and keep hydrated!
