Fairy Kei is NOT Just Pastels ✨ Advice & Debunking Myths About Fairy Kei w/ Tabby & Hannah

[@jennifer__e]

im about hannahs age but i got into fairy kei over the past year or so… i love seeing people my age and older wearing these styles proudly cuz it really gives me motivation to give myself some slack and stop feeling so insecure :)

life is too short to ever feel insecure! do what you want

I love how RoseQuartzRoyalty is on your thumbnail, she was the perfect person to do that with. Fairy kei isn’t personally my cup of tea, but I respect anyone who has the time, patience, and talent to coord it. I’m excited to see this!

[@DreamyTabby]

Wow, I'm quit a rambler LOL. But, seriously, I had alot of fun being a part of this! Thanks so much again Kristina, and Hannah as well! 🥰🙏🏻💞

[@ladylovelylocks]

Nah don't worry u were actually pretty good and you and hannah explained everything so well! Your definitely an inspiration im starting to dress pastel decora,fairy kei and will start wearing sweet lolita when I'm a bit older and seeing you guys explain more is so fun to watch! Great job icons!!

[@Kane093-s2d]

Hey Tabby! I'm very new to Fairy Kei and I would like to know if you can wear bandaid items/medical stuff in Fairy Kei? is it Fairy Kei?

[@ladylovelylocks]

@@Kane093-s2d I would say that bandaids you can wear in j-fashion no matter which style it is but im not sure abt medical stuff 😅

[@Kane093-s2d]

@@ladylovelylocks yeah I'm not sure abt medical stuff either but yeah I think bandaids in J-fashion is like a neutral thing meaning that you can wear Bandaids in every j-fashion I've seen people in the Fairy Kei fashion wear bandaids on their noses and stuff but I don't think it might be that common but yeah I think bandaids is a fairy Kei/neutral J fashion thing but medical stuff is only a Yami Kawaii/Menhera thing I'm pretty sure.

[@kaleidorainbow]

I'm older (35) and I thought fashion like fairy kei and decora we're dying, but it's really cool to see that they're still around and maybe even coming back!

[@freecherokeespirit]

I am 32 and its nice to see people in their 30s still into the fashion and literally this fashion has no age limit thats very comforting 💖😌☺️

[@alienatedlibrarian5017]

TWO OF MY FAVORITES So many of us are neurodivergent and all of us are courageous enough to dress funny and that makes it easy to find people with common interests or values and I love it so much

[@sneed1162]

As someone who wears fairy kei/yume kawaii, I feel like some influencers can be too gate keepy. Like, I buy whatever I can find to make my outfits because it's hard for me to use taobao. I make my own accessories and buy the rest on etsy. So- that's my opinion.

[@caqui1993]

Gate keepy?How?

[@caqui1993]

Many take the time to share resources, tutorials and advice to help gather pieces or diy

[@TheFreekje]

the part about the hashtags really reminds me of the goth community too, the hashtag goth and even tradgoth got flooded with non goth fashion after a while people started to use #gothgoth as a hashtag for the actual goths, it worked for a while but then the nongoths sadly noticed it too and it got flooded too

[@RedWinter88]

Its so nice to see people my age and older dressing in these styles still 😭 i use to when i was younger but anxiety ya know? And im finally wanting to get back into it

[@ratto7654]

(15:10) is so cool to see how people construct their wardrobes depending on where they live! Me, living in a country in crisis, find myself unable to buy anything from overseas, as much as I want to, so I and the local community just diy stuff all the time. Economy really plays a big role...

[@rilukyu]

Refreshing to hear people who actually remember the origin of fairy-kei speaking on it. I'm not a participant in fairy-kei, but I've been in and around fairy-kei in jfashion and there's far too many people who are 2 years fresh into learning jfashion talking on the origins and what all jfashions are, including lolita. Lolita is starting to become SO muddled due to the amount of new people flooding into it.

[@LoveMyAnime1218]

Im 30 and still wear fairy kei, its become my lifestyle for sure

[@missalphabet87]

YOU GUYYYSSS THANKS FOR THE SHOUTOUTS

[@freecherokeespirit]

I am in my 30s and I still love fairy kei and I make stuff myself(currently just for myself) atm I am making a rainbow furry cellphone case(in the past I’ve made little twin stars makeup/cosmetic bag and used pastel stuff I really dont use anymore) but I am obbessed literally obbessed with little twin stars ✨

[@shimmertails]

Okay sorry for my novel length comment, but this video is so so good and helpful! 1. I would agree that fairy kei is one of the most difficult jfashions to pull off. Putting together a lolita coord feels very straight forward to me, but fairy kei feels harder to pin down. 2. "Con fashion" is a good term for that. I have worn pastel outfits as my go to style for years, mostly "random stuff from the mall" with some lucky eBay/depop finds like the sparkly sweaters thrown in. And like, it's cute, people love it and know me as that person always wearing pink and lavender, but I've always wanted to try real fairy kei. I've been adding more appropriate pieces lately. So I'm in this in between zone where I'm not wearing true fairy kei, but I look like someone who knows what it is? Or takes inspiration from it? I want to fully embrace it. 3. That diagram is exactly what I was looking for to demystify the core elements of the fashion! Texture is a big one, I can totally see that. I'll have to consider that more when planning out a coord! 4. The lurex sweaters kill me, but they look so good, lol. I'm determined to find the perfect undershirt that makes them wearable.

[@toastedfujoshi]

Ah, I actually did fairy kei like early to mid 2000's and I loved it! I kinda wanna get into it again. I don't remember why I stopped.

[@dionysus_adores]

This reminds me how people lump the following together as well kidcore, dreamcore, wiredcore and traumacore together cause they have one thing similar. Thank you for clearing all the miss information around fairy kei.

[@j4ckofhearts]

Yesss I love fairy kei! One of my fav styles of all time

[@HolographicCathawk]

I'm really into Disney and pastels! When you said Disney themed fashion day ..I was like yes! I really like fairy k but I'm not into cartoons not familiar with. I would love to see more Disney pastel designs.

[@DystopianOverture]

Soon as you start to find a flow with your personal style you really start to know what you like and if you see something you like that seemly doesn't 'work' in your style sub genre that you know how to make it work. I love lots of jfashion styles but I don't wear it because my personal style is looking like a 80s rock star. Don't give up keep exploring you'll find your flow. Heck I started out as a skater emo kid and over time it became the reject 80s metal band groupie look. I do love fairy kei as an style because of it's 80s influences. I do have a few pieces that are fairy kei looking that I rough up and add edge to it.

i adore the sakura1tama clips hannah has on, i actually purchased some for myself today hehehe

[@ladylovelylocks]

I saw your comment about how your hannahs age and you get motivated to wear j-fashion and honestly go for it! J-fashion is meant to be there to express yourself! Try one by one collecting pieces and putting it together! Each day get a hang of it for example cyber suggested that when we're new to the j-faahion community one by one start to go to more public places each time so for example start of by maybe wearing fairy kei or your j-fashion style and go for example to a less public place and when you get the hang of it go to more public places! I recently just started dressing my j-fashion style after waiting for 2 years to wear it and I have been doing this as well so I suggest doing this!

[@jennifer__e]

@@ladylovelylocks im so late to this omg, but i actually made a lot of progress!! i wear accessories and the colors basically daily now, the only thing i dont rlly wear are the skirts/dresses, and thats just a general thing w me, i stopped wearing skirts after graduating secondary school :( been tryna get back into it actually. i wore fairy kei over spring break, and now im free from uni so im gonna wear all the skirts and dresses i can to get more comfy w it again!! its been lots of fun ngl my big issue is wearing it on campus, i feel odd even tho i get compliments already in my fairy-with-jeans outfits already? i wanna reach that point before i graduate in december lol what jfashions do you wear/like?

[@ladylovelylocks]

@@jennifer__e omg I'm so glad that you got the hang of it!! Super proud!! Dont worry about being late at all to my comment, happends so often! Skirts aren't my thing either, so I usually recommend flowy skirts that go down to your ankle, and maybe customize the skirt with, jewels, beads, charms, really just anything! Honestly the more you get comfortable with the skirt length, you'll feel confident in any length. My j-fashion style has evolved so much. I'm still collecting a few pieces. I used (and still) really love sweet lolita, hope to dress in some lolita pieces when I get my own money and stuff, But by the time I commented this comment, I was really into pastel decora/fairy-kei inspired decora. Now it's kinda evolved in a angelic pastel rainbow elf goddess. I still currently have interest in fairy-kei, pastel decora and sweet lolita, I take inspiration from those styles, but I don't think its something I would wear on a daily bases. Although im still obsessed with them. Totally down to see you in fairy-kei though!! If you have some socials, lemme follow you gal! Love the update

[@atr0phaneura726]

it's funny how pastel goth isn't wanted by any community, so they had to make their own. it isn't a j-fashion style tho it's clearly inspired by some, and all the goths screech when we see the word goth next to "pastel". also because goth is a music-based subculture, the pastel part has nothing to do with the music so it can't be goth, by definitiion 😂😄 but oh well...

a big question I've had recently is...can you wear shorts while wearing fairy-kei? (like those baggy shorts from the 80s) cuz skirts aint really my thing 🥺🥺🥺

[@cybrgrl]

absolutely! you can wear bloomer shorts, nile perch makes them all the time & even milklim produced shorts for a period of time ^^ -kaylin

[@Kane093-s2d]

I'm new to Fairy Kei but I am getting to know it very well and your video helped me! especially when my first Fairy Kei outfit is not good but it's kinda good haha I am trying! Also, as a newbie, I would like to know if you can wear any bandaid items in fairy Kei and any medical-like items in fairy Kei? And is it Fairy Kei?

[@aliceis9068]

OMFG Tabby and i are the same height aaaahh!!!! tbh this is exactly the reason i go back and forth on going on T and being a sweet/classic/country/casual lolita like, i already dress how i want, but i do kinda _hate_ being presumed to be any particular gender but esp. assumed to be a cishetero woman just because i like pink, pastels, frills, & cute shit. lolita feels like armor a lot of the time ngl, and it's kinda rly badass, gorgeous, lovely armor, but as a nonbinary person (& recently in & out of visibly disabled person o.O), i rly just want ppl to like, sure, if they like my outfit, like that, but mostly let me just beee myself out in the world aha.

[@michelleoliveira121]

I like so much both of them and Ametrine's discord channel is amazing and very active too! I mostly read there but they share many useful tips and love

[@RoseQuartzRoyalty]

My tip is to work with the little Y chart in the video and pull in more patterns and textures! You can also fake the triangle shape by adding long cardigans, peignoirs or other pieces that add volume to the bottom of your outfit!

[@Galeleo42]

Where is the skirt they both had from?

[@startide7530]

i actually met hannah today at an event on our campus i was working at lol! small world :) gonna save this to my watch later!

[@recordsystem6447]

ive been wearing fairy kei for several years and to me, there's another reason why i steer away from spank! and other vintage fashions: im fat! 9/10 of them will not fit me. when i first started out i *tried* thrifting. i only ever found one fairy keiable item and had my grandma turn some sweaters into some legwarmers. other than that, there isn't much i can find there for me and its immensely disappointing. that's why i had to turn to etsy and independent US sellers to get most of my clothing. i simply don't have any other choice. i hope that over time different kinds of sizing can become more easily accessible in these big names, not just in fairy kei, but in lolita and every other kind of jfashion that has form fitting silhouettes.

I got the famous cotton candy milklim sweatshirt from them direct the one time I bought from them, I had the roller skate one in my cart and took it out because I was getting things from a few places and the shipping was getting high and man THE REGRET, I kept thinking oh I will get it later and then of course they closed 😭

[@jennifer__e]

how so? what exactly did tabby say that gave you that impression?

[@DreamyTabby]

I'm sorry you feel that way! I'd be happy to hear exactly what I said that made you think that so I can maybe clarify?

[@foodham3277]

I mean I feel like he was just pointing out that jfashion styles have rules that define the styles, otherwise styles like fairy Kei wouldn't have a style that's easy to recognise.

[@usxgiuwu2468]

Fashion and subcultures have rules. Thats not gatekeeping, if you can't follow them then you can't be apart of the Fashion.
