Mori Girls literally means 'girl from the forest' is such a beautiful fashion subculture that was coined in Japan. It's a total opposite of the extravagant fashion of the gyaru subculture. In gyaru, girls wear sexy clothes. They have over the top make-up with eyeliner and fake lashes. Their hair are often bleached into a weird shade of blond.Mori Girls, on the other hand, tend to have more laid back subdued themes. From the natural hair colors ranging from light brown to black, minimal make-up and layering of baggy clothes. They love DIY crafts, laces, and clothes that definitely look 'earthly'.
What made me love Mori Girls fashion is the lack of materialism that I had noticed in Gyaru fashion. The girls who follow this subculture tend to make their own clothes or haunt second hand clothes shops. Something that I can relate to since I love crafts and vintage clothing. The fashion movement represents a simplicity at its best.
Although I love it, I really can't be a 'Mori Girl'. The clothes layering is not practical specially with the weather here in my country. It's beautiful though and I would just continue to love this fashion by looking at the pretty pictures from the magazines that promote the 'Mori Girl' love.

I'm currently exploring new fashion styles. Right now I'm incorporating different styles from different subcultures. I'm just taking out the things that I love and making them my own.
Gyaru, for example, is a little bit over the top for my taste. Too blond dyed hair and extravagant nail art is not really my cup of tea. I do love the make up, with the eyeliner that focuses on the eyes and subdues color on the lips. I love some of the clothes too, specially the summer themed ones that look bohemian and a little bit ethnic.
I guess in the end it's not about following a style. It's creating a style that suits me and my personality. For now I shall mix and match what I love from these different fashion subcultures to come up with something that I can call as my own.
