Fairy kei
A more sweet lolita, decora blend, with a hint of 80's. It uses mostly bright pastel colors (like lavender, baby blue, light pink, mint green, pale yellow, etc.), and elements and accessories from Western toy lines of the 1980s, such as My Little Pony, Strawberry Shortcake, Rainbow Brite, Popples and Care Bears. Fairy kei originated from Sauri Tabuchi, the eminent Tokyo fashion figure's store Spank!
Japanese fashion brands popular with fairy kei girls include 6%DOKIDOKI, Nile Perch, Spank!, and ManiaQ.

1. Colors. A basic Fairy Kei outfit uses a variety of pastel colors. However neon & darker colors can be incorporated in the outfit.
2. Get a poofy skirt. Tutus & Petticoats are the
popular choice but you don't have to wear only those options! Ruffly
skirts, plain cutoff denim skirts, patterned or plain miniskirts,
colorful shorts, gauzy skirts, lacy skirts, overalls, etc.
3. Add your 80's twist. Whether it be converse shoes,
scrunchies, famous 80's characters like Care Bears or My Little Pony,
fanny packs or even leggings. Always remember about adding an 80's
twist.
4. Add cute accessories, but not too many decorative levels. Cute hair bow, cute hair clips in fun colors, thick headbands, skinny headbands, cool eighties caps, etc.
5. Style the hair. Hair can really be any style, but cutesy, childish hair is best. Maybe with a bow.
6. Use leggings, socks or tights: Opt for some bright
colored leggings, cute ankle socks or some simple colored tights. Maybe
add small neutral colors like black or white. Remember legwarmers? Those
are an option too!
7. Add shoes. Converse are very popular in this style
but there are many other options. Bright colored high top sneakers, Dr.
Martens, pop colored heels and even UGGs can work with this style!
8. Listen to music. The best part of Fairy Kei is the
music. Popular choices are Riot Girl, Electroclash, 80's Pop icons such
as Cindy Lauper, Madonna & Blondie just to name a few & of
course Japan does have some underground bands & artists such as
PEEP4U.
9. Check 80's cartoons for ideas. 80's cartoons, like
Strawberry Shortcake, My Little Pony, Care Bears, Rainbow Brite, Barbie,
The Smurfs & Disney characters are very popular with Fairy Kei.
