How to Dress Like a Fairy

Those little mythical creatures, gently flying around the forests, dwelling in the flowers, causing mischief amongst the trees. If you've ever wanted to dress in a way inspired by fairies without the wings, wands, and crowns, here is a guide.

Part One of Two:
ClothingEdit

1
Go through your wardrobe to determine what appears fairy-like. Pick out earthy colors and pastels to represent the forest and the flowers. Shades of brown, beige, cream, white, blush, green, and sky blue are great starter points. In addition, choose fabrics with lace, ruffles, flowers, a slight glimmer, or sheer features. Anything that looks natural and dreamy will work.
2
Find some shirts that fit the fairy style. Opt for flowing blouses, lacy tops, fitted sweaters, and loose button up tops. Other than the fitted sweaters, everything should be loose and comfortable so you can easily transition from walking the streets to exploring the woods. Also, choose quality materials that will take quite a bit of wear and tear to ruin. It all should appear elegant, earthy, romantically bohemian, and retro.
3
Acquire a few different bottoms. Sailor shorts, high waisted shorts, high waisted jeans, and cutoff jeans are retro enough to complement the tops whilst being functional and modern enough to keep the style wearable. For skirts, wear bohemian maxi skirts, lace skirts of any length, and floral skirts. Keep in mind a romantic, natural, earthy look that is comfortable yet fashionable.
4
Dresses are the most important part of the look. Favor baby dolls, shirt dresses, and maxi dresses. Of course, earthy toned lace, ruffles, flowers, and delicate patterns are welcome. Keep a large supply of dresses on hand - they are so simply elegant and underused, instantly romanticizing a look and keeping the fairy aesthetic.

Footwear and AccessoriesEdit

1
Adorn your feet in practical yet cute shoes. Oxfords, ballet flats, combat boots, and riding boots are great for everyday wear, with wedged heels being preferable for more upscale events. Faux leather sandals can work, though closed toe shoes are a better idea for exploring. If you must wear socks, keep them white or off white, lacy, and sheer.
2
Accessorize with natural and intricate jewels. Flower crowns and bracelets are nice, as well as vintage rings, lockets, charms, and earrings from the thrift shop or your grandmother. Modern gold jewelry, such as dangling hoops, chains, and bangles when paired with an especially fairy outfit will modernize the look enough for everyday wear.
