Mori kei
It's also called the dryad style. As the name suggests, it literally means "the girl from the forest". And it look a bit simple, but, forest princesses car wear it, because it's still less simple than normcore.
It's an evanescent, pale style : you can wear white, beige, sometimes green, ou pale grey, the forest colors, allowing to merge into it. Furthermore, there is always several layers and superposition of clothes.
You can wear a shawl on a pullover, and short skirt on a longer dress or skirt. The custom is, that the longest cloth poke out the shorter one. All of this is plain, and the waistline is not marked.Clothes are loose, never skin-tight, and preferably vintage. The most well known style is the all white, all wool one.
But there is also little patterns, with more diversified colors, it's the Bohemian style. Hats are wool caps or earmuffs. And if hair is not loose, it's braided . Bags will be made of lace, or in basketwork. The most popular jewelry are miniature magnifiers, vegetation filled vials, crystals and keys.
Often accessories are fauna or flora shaped, like miniature deer horns, or mushrooms that you can find on headbands. And the make-up is light. You can wear lighter clothes during spring and summer, with shorter skirts, made of cotton, lace or linen.
Sometimes the style is more practical with pants, and there is an hybrid with gothic, the Dark Mori. It's the same thing, but in black. Sometimes, you can add odd looking, old jewelry to it.
Romantic is a white version that sometimes include synthetic. As for mori shabby chic, named after the decor.
It's all about wearing pastel pink and blue, flowers patterns, and even more lace.
There is a mountain variant, the yama girl, who wear edelweiss patterns, wool scarves, patterns such as tartan, and colors are more bold.
Hama girl (Hama mean beach ), it's the sea variant. They wear lighter clothes, and include dark navy blue, strips, cardigans, and straw hats.
For princes
This style is rare for boys, and make them look like a shepherd.
if you like this style, take inspiration from gentlemen farmers.
Even though I love the first older Barbie-movies (meaning Nutcracker, Rapunzel, Swan Lake, Princess and the Pauper and Pegasus), I have to admit that some of the newest ones are brilliant as well. Especially the songs. “I need to know” (the Island Princess) always manages to bring out my curiosity about life, when it seems to be dim and too steady. “Making My way” (the Musketeers) and “Here I am” (Princess and the Popstar) lift my self-esteem when I’m insecure and have let others to define me too much. Whenever I struggle with my recovery or my studies and can’t seem to be able to move on, I put “On Top of the World” (Princess School) on repeat. The songs from “the Diamond Castle” and “Always more” from “Island Princess” remind me of my friends and bring me hope. Sometimes, I listen to “Right here in my arms” (Island Princess) as a lullaby to calm down.
I also love “12 dancing Princesses” for so many reasons. “Thumbelina” and the “Mermaid”-movies are underrated as well. I haven’t watched the most newest ones on principle, because I don’t like the animation that much and because the voice of Barbie differs too much from my country’s original voice, for my taste. Plus, I have heard people saying that they aren’t as deep as the ones before them (too modern, I guess?) I’m sure they have some nice songs, though. Maybe I should give them a shot someday. Do you have any favorites in general?

Gothic
This style is the child of punk, born in the 1980. Theoretically, it's all black...but not always. It can accents of purple, burgundy and grey. Also, there are colored versions (color goth) or white ones (ice goth).
What never change, is the apparently morbid thematic...but why not? As already said, obscurity car be beautiful, and royal. Sub-styles are countless.Here those that fits princesses:
-Romantic goth:
Romantics prefer long dresses, corsets, velvet, silk and lace, frills and ribbons. Sometimes, they also wear capes.
For princes:
They wear jabot shirts- and capes as well.
- Medieval goth
Close to the previous one, but it add to this clothing style an historical dimension. You can find Celtic, viking, or renaissance items added to the look. Linen comes in addition to velvet and lace. Dresses often have large sleeves, and jewelry consist of tiaras, torques, or are sword shaped.
- Vampire goth
Once again, clothes look like the romantic ones, but with red accents, and capes are added (sometimes with a high collar like Dracula) .
-Victorian goth or aristocratic goth
Victorian take inspiration from XIXth century. Ladies have parasols, corsets, crinolines and often, top hats.
For princes: Gentlemen have walking sticks, top hats, and tailcoats. And of course, capes and jabot shirts.
-Fairy goth :
This style add to medieval items such as wings, glitter, or fake horns .
