Larme kei is a Japanese aesthetic whose name means 'tear', built on delicate, doll-like clothing in soft colors with romantic detail, and popularized by Larme magazine around an emotional kind of feminine beauty. Feminine pastel pieces carry it, always with a dark or melancholic twist. Delicate ruffles and lace cover the garments. Sheer blouses go above. Ribbon bows finish them, with Mary Janes below and doll-like accessories throughout.
