Mori boy is also a pretty wide open style, but ive focused on the rugged wool & canvas aesthetic. depending on your personal style, the keywords you use to find items will change but generally these are good ones : cream, antique, prairie, vintage, retro cute, pinafore, cotton petticoat (for underskirts), peter pan collar, lace tablecloth (for shawls) This is the most general section of the guide, since all mori folk have a different idea of what constitutes mori, and thats one of its charms. a lot of people like these items, but they won’t be included in this guide, since they count as buying new, and this guide is about buying vintage/used items. One note: ebay and other online selling platforms are saturated by chinese/indian/israeli factory sellers, and the items are the same you can find on sites like aliexpress, taobao, etc. the items vary in price, ive included some fairly expensive (for used) items, but if you have patience, one of the appeals of ebay is that something very similar will almost always show up for cheaper, and a lot of sellers are open to haggling. but ebay is a huge resource (and etsys/shopenvys vintage section by extension), and one accessible by anyone with internet and some time.Įach section below (separated by mori substyles) will have links & (current) prices to some sample items as examples, along with tips and keywords that will help find those hidden gems. See Adventurecore, Woodland goth, and Goblincore for some aesthetics that use bugcore images.A little guide since mori shopping outside of japan is always a big q, and while thrift is the gold standard, its not available to everyone. This includes a wide range of animals from sea-dwellers like lobsters, isopods, shrimp, and crabs to land-dwellers like butterflies, spiders, bees, and roaches.īugcore crosses over with other nature-based aesthetics that tend to be more adventurous and enthusiastic about all of nature, rather than the palatable "cute" parts. However, while plants and rocks symbolize passivity in the natural world (order, similarity, stability, everlastingness, evolution, peace), animals symbolize activity (chaos, difference, change, fickleness, metamorphosis, conflict).īugcore is an aesthetic inspired by animals that are classified as arthropods. Because of it, it is difficult to determine what could be made with this subject.Īnimals are a part of nature. Animals span far and wide from the sea to the land and sky from the size of a pebble to a cruise ship and all with different shapes. "Animalcore" is a very vague aesthetic inspired by animals. The section should only be inserted if searching up the name shows over five Pinterest boards, Tumblr posts, etc. If you would like to add a notable single-subject aesthetic, insert it here alphabetically. However, because many single-subject aesthetics have become extremely popular, it is necessary for the wiki to document them. For example, a cat in a field of flowers contently smiling is Cottagecore, whereas a black cat in a crumbling castle is Gothic.

The wiki does not allow single pages for single-subject aesthetics because the article quality tends to be extremely low and images can be disparate. So, many people follow the tags to search for aesthetic images revolving around the subject in general. However, searching "catcore" brings images that have more interesting framing, lighting, details, etc. For example, searching just "cat" on tumblr brings mostly candid photos of cats or cat memes that don't have much aesthetic value. Images are often tagged as (the subject)core because it provides an easy way for searching aesthetic pictures of the subject, rather than images that are more plain, memes, informational, etc. For example, while Cottagecore includes images of pies, animals, flowers, and cottages, Cloudcore is pictures of clouds and cloud depictions such as in illustration and embroidery.

A single-subject aesthetic is an aesthetic that revolves entirely around a single visual, with little or no other visuals on the blog/moodboard.
