Best Mori Kei outfit ideas for Dress to Impress Roblox

Budding fashionistas can get a taste of the catwalk with Roblox‘s Dress to Impress. You can follow the trends for each contest, or you can buck the system and go Trad Goth or Mori Kei. The latter is very much in season for autumn and works well with DTI‘s layering options.

Mori Kei – The Forest Type

There’s an entire list written by the person who came up with the concept of Mori Kei that I’ll link further down. The underlying theme is pretty simple though.

• Loose, flowing dresses
• Flat-soled shoes
• Cozy is the name of the game
• Earthy tones
• Layers and accessories like scarves, ear muffs, and bags

Mori Kei Outfits

This outfit follows the basic principles of Mori Kei with the A-shaped dress, leggings, flat shoes, earthen tones, and layering. There’s not much that we can do on the makeup front without spending Robux, so I opted for the face with freckles as it had minimal clown makeup. A crown of dried flowers tops everything off.

Dress to Impress isn’t great at handling clipping. Being able to layer any number of pieces atop one another is both a blessing and a curse. While there are big, frilly dresses, the editing options and clipping make them difficult to use. Either way, if layers and accessories are an option, then we need to try them.

This piece recolors the shoes and leggings from the first. I then took the full-length dress and edited it to be a skirt with a frilled mini-skirt layered on top. I had to use the smaller sweater as the larger option didn’t fit well and looked more like a blob.

As for accessories, the over-the-shoulder leather bag might as well be a standard-issue piece for Mori Kei fans. Throw in a cozy and flowy scarf and our top has plenty of detail without being cluttered. Some simple earrings and a headband adorning the messy bun complete the look.

What is Mori Kei?

The term “Mori Kei” comes from a user by the name of Choco on the Japanese platform, Mixi. She had created a group called “Mori Girl” after a friend stated “You look like you are in the forest.” regarding Choco’s outfits. The Mixi community was founded in 2006 and ran for roughly 13 years before shutting down.

As the group grew, Choco published a list to serve as a guideline for fans of the style. In essence, Mori Kei embodies a cozy lifestyle reminiscent of films like Howl’s Moving Castle or Kiki’s Delivery Service. It eschews modern marvels for a simplistic lifestyle and embraces a more rustic aesthetic.

After throwing on your favorite Mori Kei outfit, you might do things like journaling in a cafe with a hot drink or cataloging the flora and fauna of the wood. Mori Kei thrives in autumn as the leaves fall and the air chills. So, walking along a forest path and using the magnifying glass on your necklace to look at leaves would be totally appropriate.

The aesthetic’s popularity lasted through the 2010s, but has largely faded. There are still Mori Kei communities out there for fans, as nothing ever truly dies. Much like a babbling brook, it ebbs and flows.
