A Cup of Rose Tea

Mori Girl

A fairly new (2007) Japanese fashion/lifestyle trend, dedicated to living a cheerful, simple, natural life of a girl in the forest. “mori” in Japanese means “forest.”

The fashion style is loose, light and airy, layered with warm, bulky sweaters and scarves and tough boots for navigating the wilderness.

the style utilizes pale colors, like oatmeal, light pink, light greens and browns, as well as rich gem tones like sapphire and ruby. Crocheted and knitted items accessorize the look.

The aesthetic has also leaked over into interior design. Rooms inspired by mori girl are often filled with sunlight but clear of clutter save for a few spots stacked with old books, antiques and a vase of sunflowers. Mori rooms often look like cabins from a fairytale.

The lifestyle seems content with solitude, however it doesn’t close itself off from a social life intentionally. A mori girl has no qualms about going off into the forest alone or enjoying a cup of tea and and an old book in her favorite coffee shop by herself.

She is intelligent, secure and confident in herself, and as such is never loud or overbearing. She just prefers to live unfettered and uncluttered. Mori girls carry themselves with a quiet strength.

There’s also a boy version of the fashion emerging recently.
Lauren: That girl looks like a forest fairy!

Amber: That’s because she’s a mori girl!

Can I run away somewhere? To a place where life is simple, and the forest grows? Where I can spend the cold winter days curled up in a coffee shop reading a book and dreaming of far away places? Or attend a tea party in the wood, where I will go exploring with friends and take photos of all the beautiful things we find?

If only such a place were real... I would have a little cottage that would be surrounded by roses and the animals of the forest would come and visit my garden. I would find a spot in the warming sun to read and daydream.

In the world outside my imagination I enjoy reading, photography, cooking and baking. I am interested in Mori Girl fashion and style.
