Featured Brand: SM2

Given the recent rise in popularity of mori girl style, lots of Japanese brands have been designing their fall collections with this in mind. Furthermore, the mori girl aesthetic with its use of natural materials and gentle colours has been quite popular in East Asia of late.

SM2 is a Japanese clothing brand that has put out a fall collection that reflects the contemplative, dreamy atmosphere of the mori girls with neutral tones and loose layers. SM2's style is not as whimsical as Syrup's, and its fall shoot shows us how to adopt mori girl style in a subtler, more laid back way.

It doesn't get much more romantic than a bed in the middle of the forest. Long cardigans over knee-length dresses create a very comfortable silhouette.

I'm in love with these slouchy booties that are popping up everywhere.

Loose, just-above-the-knee shorts seem to be a cute alternative to the dresses and skirts mori girls love. The checked smock above goes well with the hoodie for a more boyish look, and can also be paired with turtlenecks in fall/winter and tshirts or singlets in summer.
