What is your honest opinion of it?
I think it's dumb looking on real people. I don't understand what makes Lolita not a type of cosplay but Lolita's say it's a life style.

No. 163169

fine if that's what you're into but you shouldn't wear it outside of cons/meetups

it's like being a furry except you want to fuck children instead of animals

No. 163170

It's a very youthful style, even the more "mature" styles are still youthful. I think it only looks good on Asian girls because they look younger than they are. Non-Asians look older at younger ages and they look like grown women trying to dress like little girls.

I like it but you have to look very youthful to pull it off.

No. 163171

I like some lolita, mostly classic style stuff, but I don't think I'd buy any of it even if I did have the money to.

Other than that, I don't really care that much about it. I'd much rather see girls in lolita irl than the girls who wear sweatpants and wear their hair in top knots all the time. I'd much rather see ugly ita messes than that tbh.

I loved the fuck out of oldschool, although I never wore it. Ridiculously detailed dresses, chunky black shoes, frumpy doll look. It had a creepy vibe to it and struck me as a proper street fashion.

Nowadays lolita (specifically sweet) is nice to look at in photos but it feels really out of place in real life. It's so OTT and matchy matchy. I can't stand the wigs at all no matter how natural they look. It became very cookie cutter.

Gothic and classic with small pettis and natural hair still looks good to me in person. Stands out of course but in an alt fashion way rather than full on costume.

I consider it a fashion in most part, and this is coming from a non lolita.
Honestly, some people take it over the top with fluffy ass wigs bigger than their own head or accessories/toys around their dresses.
But if you wear a regular lolta like OP (kinda) or something bordering otome/FannyRoseesque/gothic/aristo then I fully consider it a fashion.
You don't have to wear something everyday for it to be considered a fashion or style, nor does have to be expensive. Just like how I may wear a skirt ever so often, is just as some people wear lolita.
Being a lifestyler is totally different ballgame. If you personally want to wear lolita every single day, have frills and puffs around your house, have fancy pansy tea parties, and speak in a terrible British/Japanese accent (if you're American or from someplace else), more power to you.

Doesn't really help with the idea that they literally call themselves lolita…instead of people wearing lolita if it's 'just clothes'.

At the end of the day, it's just fabric you wear to feel pretty.

My opinion? I like it, kind of pleasing to watch when you don't fuck it up. Would I wear it? Probably if I lived in a folder climate. Plus I'm pretty thin skinned and I hate when people stare, which they always most likely do in a fashion like this. Plus, I know the existence of lolcow, 8chan and 4chan, and I'm afraid I may end up in an Ita thread.

I kinda want to see an older woman in a pastel coord. Classic is a nice style for them but seems too typical and boring. I already see classic as an older persons style, so it doesn't stand out to me if I see an older person wearing if.

No. 163187

To me, Lolitas look like insane women who are obsessed with victorian babydolls. I've seen some reeeally cute coords and lovely dresses, but the fashion in general is horrible, in my opinion. Everyone looks absolutely crazy wearing it, with frills and patterns and lace everywhere. You look even crazier if you're wearing it outside of a convention or gathering.

Lolitas can deny age play all they want, and I'm sure most of them aren't into that shit, but a little part of me will always think it looks fetishy.

I think it looks awful 99% of the time. Most non-asian lolitas looks like adult babies/transvestites to me, and that includes classic and gothic.

I have no idea why it's so popular when there are so many far cuter, more affordable j-fashion styles that don't make you look demented. I'm sick of having to wade through reems of Lolita garbage when I'm looking for the stuff I'm actually interested in.

No. 163193

>>163192
I agree with what your saying. Japan has huge issues with sexualizing kids and infantilizing women. Lolita fashion and "kawaii" culture is just part of it. Even ads of other styles of cutesy clothing have women standing pigeon toed, wearing pigtails and they have that puffy little girl face. Lolitas try to push age limits on the fashion but if looking like a little girl isn't the goal, why do they care if someone who is 40 or doesn't look like a kid wears sweet or something?

I think lolitas are in serious denial about their fashion. Japan loves little girl looking women. Angelic Pretty's Dreamy Baby Room release was popular in Japan but a flop in the west. Even SwanKiss has a dress called Dreamy Baby with baby toys and a bottle on the dress.

Lolita is just a ridiculous fashion and here's why.

I'm a lolita but this is sooo true. I could barely afford lolita in my early 20's,now I am in my late 20's and can afford it so much easier. I'm a sweet lolita but I don't worry about looking old because I keep to myself and rarely post photos. I also keep it toned down, I only own prints but I don't wear pastel wigs and shit tons of jewelry and accessories. Surprisingly, most people I meet on the street haven't said anything about me being too old and they just say they like my dress.

These days the only thing I really like about lolita is how it holds its value. I would get 2 dresses a year from my parents (christmas, birthday) from the ages of 14-19. I sold a couple to pay my rent once and I'm glad I still have a load to fall back on if Im ever desperate for money. As a 24 year old I feel I've outgrown it and would just feel ridiculous wearing it in public now.

Well, it's ideal in Japan to look as young as possible. That is their "sexy", a lot of men there find infantile women sexually appealing. They are sexualizing children by making childish things sexually desirable,clothing, actions and voice. Men find it attractive if a women dresses and acts like a clueless 5 year old with a high pitched voice.

Nobody except /cgl/ will deny that there is definitely a creepy fetish undertone to a grown woman dressing like a "doll".

I think people who consider this fashion to be "sexualizing children" are pedos themselves tbh.
If you look at these clothes and think "sex" or "fetish", you probably associate cute, childish things with sex because you're a fucking creep. There's nothing sexual about them and they're not even close to revealing.
That, and unless you live in the Rococo period, most children dress in normal clothing like jeans and t-shirts that sometimes have cartoon characters on them, not shit like >>163229. They look like something a princess or a fairy tale character would wear, not a kid.
inb4 "b-but it's called LOLITA". The book character never wore any of this shit either, and it's only called "lolita" because the musician who made the fashion popular thinks European names sound cool and goffik, regardless of their origins.

Also, ive always wanted to say this but lolita is just a costume. Most people will not wear that crap everyday, they only wear it to conventions and meets. how is it a real fashion when you will only wear it on Halloween and conventions and wear jeans/t-shirt most the time?

Only a handful of people will wear it everyday but im suppose to think of lolita as higher than someone who cosplays at a con.

Most people wear prom dresses only to prom. I guess that makes prom dresses a costume then.

No. 163402

Because you put time and effort into putting together a coordinate and don't just throw shit on ready-made as a costume, perhaps?
And even if you don't necessarily go out on a daily basis in it, there are people who put together outfits to take photos of.
Like I doubt most people wear some of the shit you sometimes see on Lookbook on a daily basis, or that you see high fashion shit you see on the runway IRL (aside from when those designs are referenced in normie fashion, which is usually what happens), but that doesn't suddenly turn them into costumes.

There are decoras who dress lolita sometimes, and have babyish rooms filled with toys and stuffed animals.

Many teenagers go to prom several times. And women spend upwars of $300+ or more on prom dresses, wedding dresses, cocktail dresses and more.

The money being spent and the frequency of wear still does not prove that lolita is a costume. There are many lolitas who wear it daily, just most girls save their most OTT coords for meetups and shit.

Okay but its a fucking music video. Its not a good argument to this "LOLITA = AGEPLAY" argument. Thats like saying that because AV gyaru exist all gyaru are whores and hostesses.

And again, I need to ask about people who wear the style and go about their daily activities- going out to eat, shopping, seeing a movie.

in order for something to be ageplay, there needs to be the "play". actively acting like a child, doing childish things, like wearing a diaper, playing with toys, speaking in baby talk, etc.

For every lifestyle lolita, theres a lolita who brags about all the unladylike things she does while wearing the clothes.

except the only place to get that kind of specific onesie would be an ageplay shop, catered specifically to ageplayers. you don't walk down the street and see ageplay shops. it is unlikely that there is someone who isn't into ageplay but wears baby clothes and diapers.

a kigurumi is technically a form of footie pajamas. but theres a big difference between someone wearing a kigurmi and someone wearing footie pajamas from an ageplay shop.

lolita isn't ageplay. it isn't baby clothes, and the fashion is legitimate. most japanese lolitas, while childish, don't see it as ageplay and don't see what they do as ageplay. they might describe their fashion as "doll-like" or "innocent", but those words aren't limited to ageplay. there is ageplay in japan and ageplay porn in japan but it doesn't often intersect with lolita. the two are different.

And you realize that most drag queens don't literally want to be women right?

Drag isn't a fair comparison, drag queens get paid, are purposely playing a character and not acting lolitas. The decent lolitas aren't changing their personality when they wear the fashion.

Some of you people need to watch Kamikaze Girls. It explains lolitas perfectly. Momoko was a bitch who wanted to wear fancy clothes because she was vain and self absorbed. Shes not obsessed with children, but all things feminine, fancy, royal, and cute. She dresses lolita because she wants to live a "rococo lifestyle" not a childs life.

False. There are lolita stores in NYC and the California area. Some anime shops now sell (shitty) lolita dresses as well.

My logic was that the only place to get an adult onesie like that would require some knowledge of ageplay itself. It isn't as accessible as lolita is. A lot of people think of lolita when they think of japanese fashion. people with just casual interest in comics or anime can easily come across lolitas. it isn't as easy to find ageplayers, so the chances of someone having access to ageplay clothes without being into ageplay is slim to none.

sweet lolita has lost its historical influence, but it still lingers in classic and gothic lolita.

Lolita started with the visual kei trend, early lolita really has no ties to ageplay or looking like a child. It was intended to creep people out and look strange, but not look like a child.

I have no idea where OTT sweet lolita evolved from.

that's why I put it in quotes.
it's as much of a clothing style as goth is. people dress differently for different occasions. No sane lolita is going to wear her frills to a job interview, for example.
When I go out to a club, I'll dress differently than I do when I go out for morning brunch. I have a pretty substantial wardrobe, about 30% of it is lolita. it's all 'real' in the sense that it's all clothing that I wear on a semi-frequent basis, but I know what situations are appropriate for it.
Most lolitas aren't lifestylers, and the ones who are get kind of a bad rap. regardless of what ageplay-autist-anon thinks, we don't take teddy bears to work and spend our days playing with tea sets.

I can kind of understand where you get that idea, because brands do, on occasion, produce special release dresses that cost that much.
But no, even buying new-not-used, you're probably going to be maxing out at around 400 for a new dress. And most girls don't even do that, they'll buy the skirt version if they're really in love with a print or they'll trawl the second-hand market for it after the initial rush has died down.
Like I said, everyone has their own definitions of 'nice'. Some people want to spend that money on a musical instrument, some people would use it to buy a PS4. Why shit on someone's hobby just because it's not yours?

To understand lolita, you need to understand where it came from. Most people see lolita fashion evolving from natural-kei and little house on the prairie style clothing that was popular in the 90s. No one also knows where the name came from, you can't pin point the exact moment the fashion was called "lolita" it just sort of happened.

It didn't get popular until visual kei/mana wore it. Back then the fashion was more of a costume than it was today. Back then it was only expected to wear lolita on the weekends or to concerts.

What I HAVE heard of lolitas in Japan is that the stigma to be a lolita above the age of 30 is greatly frowned upon and they're considered a certain word that's hard to translate to English.

I agree with this. I think Japan embraces these things more than the west and see nothing wrong with cute childish things. Look at their food, they have cute themed food, cute buildings, advertisements. I think most people there from young to old like cute things, recently I have been seeing older people in street snaps wearing kawaii fashion.

It's easy to say lolitas are dressed like children when the West is about showing as much skin as possible. A lot of people in the West will also make fun of you if you like childish things and your expected to hide it. I had a manager make sarcastic remarks about my Tinkerbell bag.

Thanks for the posts, anon! This is actually really interesting to read. It's kind of neat because this was at the peak of gothic lolita and Mana. I can see the idea of gothic lolita = like a gothic/emo music fan over here.
I think it probably wouldn't apply in the same way anymore due to sweet being so big now. It's funny how lolita went from edgy dark dolls who cut themselves to living doll girls who are ageplayers. Maybe if classic is the next big thing, which looks to be that way, they'll be called old grandma's who want to live in another era. It's funny how normal people sensationalize things and stretch a truth to fit a narrative.

tbh Lolita arrived in Japan pretty warped because of the movie and the other [western] media being made at the time that completely overlooked the fact that the book was written not in favor of sexualizing children but to show the mindset of a pedophile, so the Japanese translated it into something more glamorous/quirky than creepy. I know a lot of people actually do want to change its name but the name has just become too ingrained that all the attempts end up failing

I've long since thought about this. After interacting with /cgl/, I realized what it is, all joking aside: Autism.

Look at how matchy-matchy and childish lolita is. It perfectly matches up with a lot of how autism behaves. You didn't see how that coordinate was a bad one? They sperg out all over /cgl/ over it. They're very bad about doing any sort of confrontation since they're all incredibly socially inept. Lolita is one of the worst communities I've ever seen since it relies on anonymous, non-confrontational drama to communicate who it dislikes and almost nothing outside that. What I mean is, lolitas are notoriously bad at any one-on-one confrontation since they have no comprehension of how to behave in real life or real social scenarios. If you pay attention to most of the big figures in lolita, all of them have things ranging from autism to aspergers.

Except the same thing happens with cosplay, or any hobby for that matter.

Do you really think the girls who are calling someone ugly or uncoordinated online also behave that way irl? Of course they don't, they wear a mask like anyone else.

Behind the bows is a great way to laugh at lolitas being anonymous and bitchy and posting stupid image secrets. "Lolita secrets" is oddly apart of lolita culture. They really have no idea how to confront people so lolita secrets is like passing around notes like little kids to others to show who they hate and their dirty secrets.

Alrighty, then let's use your exact words
>not realizing EGA is a thing within Lolita
this is incorrect.
EGA is not a thing 'within' the lolita style in the same way that classic or sweet are considered substyles 'within' the fashion.
The fashions are tangential in that many gothic lolitas draw from similar influences as those of aristocrats or may 'grow into' the style later in life, but EGA is not classified as a type of lolita, but rather as an entirely separate movement. It's a bit like arguing that steampunk is a type of lolita. You might have noticed, if you had done any research more in-depth than typing 'lolita' into Google, that most brands do not cater to the EGA crowd at all, although there may be crossover with the appeal of certain items, for example waistcoats, jackets or footwear.
Take for example, Atelier Boz, which has a separate 'sub-brand', Lapin Agill, specifically for lolita. They make a distinction between that and their main brand, Boz, which is specifically made to accomodate the tastes of the EGA crowd.
you're an idiot, etc.

generalize all you'd like.
from what I understand, you're far more likely to get attacked over a bad coordinate than over eyebags.

people think that lolitas are bitches because they see samefag anons from 4chan nitpicking over minute flaws in appearance, but the truth is–most of these girls don't actually wear lolita. see ITT
or if they do, they're secretive about their sand-filled vaginas. because any community, if you came to a meet and started spouting off these opinions like 'she's too old/fat/ugly to wear lolita' would quickly ostracize you and your drama-seeking rufflebutt from the community as a whole.
the one thing that's great about lolita is that it's a niche hobby. which means that if you out yourself as a superficial cunt, you get outed to EVERYONE. even if you move all the way across the country. ex: Nia's drama, which followed her from east to west coast. or girlyhoot, whom everyone knows to avoid now.
girls love to gossip. rancid personalities make for great shit-talking.
so that's why all the lolitas out the worst parts of their personalities as anons on /cgl/ or btb. but it doesn't mean that everyone who participates in the fashion is a raging bitch irl. there are plenty of folks who have never made a secret or vendetta-posted their nemesis on 4chan, but they don't get as much attention because–surprise–they're not particularly noteworthy, as part of the majority.

the people who try the hardest to throw shade when they see someone wearing weird clothes are usually best described as irl trolls. they want to see you get mad, they want to ruin your day. the best response is not to respond at all, because then they get nothing out of it and they just look like assholes. like, I think Ugg boots are the most hideous footwear known to man, but if I went around laughing at every girl I saw in them then I would be acting like a huge bitch.
the point of lolita isn't that you're wearing it to impress other people, it's that you wear it for yourself. I think that the original spirit of the fashion has gotten kind of lost in the emphasis on becoming e-famous and making costume-like OTT coordinates to impress your peers. I'll totally agree with some of the anons ITT in that the communities have become too much about showing off nowadays, but not all of us are into the fashion for those reasons.

today at lunch in the main building i saw a chinese girl wearing full on lolita and eating her lunch. sweet OTT lolita. big puffy headband, full makeup, etc etc.

since this is a conservative, college town… there are no other lolitas here. trust me, 5 years ago when i moved here i tried to connect with them and most lived in the next town over (2 hours away). that was 5 years ago. now there are none. lolita is dead here.

it was so fucking weird.

What an utterly shit thread.

What I don't understand is the "ageplay" thing, like, I'm not saying all lolitas are like this (I'm one myself,) but there's a difference between looking childish and AGEPLAY. There's a difference between looking "childish" for your own fashion reasons and wearing a diaper while your boyfriend pretends he's your father

What do the retards shouting "ageplay" think of fashions like nanchatte seifuku? Is that sexualizing schoolgirls and every girl wearing it secretly has a schoolgirl/teacher fetish?

step one: get a petticoat.
step two: save up $50-$100, buy a simple skirt.
In-between steps, trawl thrift stores for dressy blouses and shoes. Be discerning. Most thrift blouses will only cost a couple of bucks at most, but you can still find pussybow/secretary/ruffled styles at pretty much any SA or Goodwill. If you find a style that you really like, but it doesn't fit (because most of these blouses were previously owned by obese grandmothers) get it tailored. It will still be way cheaper than buying even 2nd-hand burando.
Also in-between steps, start brushing up on your 'eye'. Read Gothic & Lolita Bibles. There are scans available online for free. Browse /cgl/ threads on 'top-notch coordinates', read blogs, and learn the lingo (like JSK, OTT, OTK, BTSSB, etc.) so you can talk shop if you happen to stumble across other lolitas in the wild.
Moi-meme-Moitie is pronounced 'mwah-mehm-mwahtee-ay', by the by.
For headwear, you can either make your own if you're crafty, or check out normalfag stores like Claire's/Icing/F21 for bow headbands. Also look up guides on lace quality before you buy. Plasticky lace is to be avoided at all cost, because it's typically used on milanoo-quality garments. Look for nice cottons/'soft' lace.
If you're overweight, try to dress for your body shape (empire-waist/babydoll cut OPs or JSKs) or invest in some spanx.
You could also try looking up if there are any active communities in your area, but there's also no shame in being a 'lone lolita'–in fact, it can sometimes be more embarrassing to venture out with a large group if they're all weeby preteens. That's one of the reasons why the online communities are so popular, imo.

Lolita is one of those things where I think it looks really nice in static, posed pictures, and IRL it looks like a weeb aspie uniform. It doesn't help that most girls in the fashion don't know how to dress themselves or apply makeup normally.

The community is pretty ridiculous too. They try so hard to distance themselves from ageplay, but then fawn over Disney collabs and wear stuffed animal purses and baby bonnets. They try to claim it's a fashion and not a costume, yet people who actually wear it as day-to-day clothing are labeled "lifestylers" and most people wear it a few times a year. They constantly have to undergo damage control trying to say what lolita is not, thanks to TV shows and the book and other people in the community. How are any clothes worth dealing with all of that?

In the photo, lolitas will claim this style is more "mature" because it isn't pastel and junk but the model is still holding a teddy bear. Brands use models who look super young and childlike. Stuffed animal bags sell out fast, infantile prints are popular in Japan (like a print called Dreamy Baby Room). They bitch about girls who don't look young enough while claiming dressing in lolita isn't about looking like a little girl. You better not be sweet lolita with an eye wrinkle and have the face of a 10 year old or you will be considered an old hag. Did you see the new disney/angelic pretty collab? It looks like a freaking toddler dress for playing dress up.

I agree about the costume thing, most lolitas wear it only to meetups and conventions. If it was really a fashion like they claim, they would be wearing it more. They go to meetups walking around with scepters, wings, OTT headwear, etc. How can they walk around like that and tell people it's not a costume? Girls are considered boring and lazy if they have a simple outfit.

I don't think anyone truly knows the purpose of lolita. To me, it's just a bunch of toddler costumes for adults.

I have an opinion because I see you girls bitch and whine over stuff like this and you girls are only bringing on yourselves.

You girls bitch and whine about being seen as ageplayers and dresing as little girls. Yet you buy from brands that use models that could pass for children and shit on anyone who doesn't look like an actual child. You get upset while wearing stuffed animal bags and dresses with teddy bears and baby toys on them. You girls keep the lolita stereotype alive.

You girls get pissy when people think your wearing a costume when most of you barely wear it. Half the time it seems like most of you come up with the craziest outfits just to have photo shoots and show off. Look at the photo, I don't care if that outfit is for a meetup or whatever. I don't see how you can walk around like this and tell people that lolita isn't a costume. How many of you wear it just because? How many of you wear it without going to a meetup, con or just to take photos to show off? I am guessing it's a very small amount.

Japan is into cute things, toys, teddy bears, etc is just something cute for them. I don't think they view things the same way over there. Japan embraces cuteness unlike western cultures. Most of the complaining about age is done online and probably by people who fear aging themselves, you hate what you fear. I don't personally care if someone is 40 and wearing lolita, even sweet. More power to them and I will admire their courage to not give a fuck.

I can agree with lolita becoming to much like a costume. This is why I never post photos, I keep everything simple and people will think I'm boring. I only wear prints and that is extreme enough, I don't need shit tons of accessories and props.

last year I put together a lolita-styled witch outfit and wore it to some halloween parties, but I didn't try to insist 'this is a fashion' at that point. if people asked, I mentioned that it had been influenced by a street fashion from japan, but I'm pretty sure that none of the girls in the photo you're referencing were claiming that this was a direct representation of the 'street' fashion side of the style. it was a themed OTT coorinate in the same way that you'd see OTT cosplays of OCs or whatever at an anime convention.

But not anything with any childlike motifs or OTT bc I'm not stupid, and I don't like anything like that anyway.
Well, I do like sweet lolita, but if it's some obnoxiously OTT sweet shit that have gone down in infamy, then no. (Sugary Carnival, Dreamy Baby Boom, Milky Planet, etc.) I even like elegant jsks that are good for classic cords.

I want to wear cute clothes from places like AP, BTSSB, Ank Rouge, and Swankiss.

But those are too expensive and my parents deserve better than that, materialistic happiness only lasts for 2 seconds on me and then I feel empty like I should be happier.My self esteem is so..fragile that I wouldn't probably even be able bring myself to wear them out in public without being a nervous wreck.And I'm so ugly that you guys and btb would just tear me apart, and that wouldn't be good at all.I don't think I should do it, but I want a second opinion.

Back on topic i really dislike how OTT things have become in this fashion, especially for sweet even though it's stopping slowly?
I have some weird love for old school actually and maybe one or two prints in sweet from pre 2010 that's it.
Now i read this thread and while THIS anon is obviously a weirdo with wayyy too many weird pics on his hard drive or a fatty who's upset because "muh curves", i just thought a lot and now i just think maybe i should never wear lolita. I actually turned 20 but i'm scared of "cutesy" things because i'm scared of looking "childish" or ridiculous in general (have a pompompurin wall hanging storage, a rilakkuma plush bag,three plushies,and a cat shaped/heart shaped "normal" bag, and i judge myself hard.) I don't mind much what normies will think but i think it would not look good on me and that i would look,well, stupid. I'm told i look 16/17 in general but i think i shouldnt wear it, except from maybe once or twice to try on a gothic lolita outfit in black and white like my weeb me dreamed of and a cuter dress like the Babydoll JSK from BTSSB in pink or blue. I'm going for a more "Dakota Rose" style in everyday life, as in her 2011/2012 era.
And now i'm here sitting in my pastel blue pajamas with tiny happy clouds on it wondering if i'm doing the right thing. I-I just don't want to look retarded and like a women trying hard to stay young.

Do you know anything about oldschool lolita at all? The fixation on classic is rather new. Lolita has always been a bit kawaii. They say it's based on rococo, but it's more based on Victorian dolls/children's clothing.

Lolitas remember the fact that FASHION is art, FASHION can be borderline ridiculous, FASHION doesn't have to be wearable. Some of these outfits may look like a costume to other people because they're uncultured as fuck but I guarantee you any designer at New York fashion week would put something out on the runway that looked just as ridiculous as all this shit.

Sweet Lolita is inspired by the rococo period, a time where women were so ridiculous when it came to coming up with new ways to top each other that it became a health hazard. So people can whine all they want about how they wish that simpler more casual styles were more popular but face it, Rococo was all about piling as many things on your wig as you could, making your skirt so big that you could literally knock over a whole table, cinching your waist so tight that you needed to have someone carry a chair around for you, wearing dresses so garish and extravagant that the aristocracy helped plunge your society into extreme debt.

So if you want to wear your dress and be simple go ahead, some of you may strive to be elegant but it doesn't mean that lolita doesn't have some history of being extravagant and ott.

The way I see it, you are not wearing outfits, you are creating looks.

I've always loved classic, gothic can be done well too but you have to be careful not to cut yourself on the edge. Sweet is.. a very fine line.

I wear ouji/aristo and getting into a lolita comm has really eased my transition into a new city. I've made a lot of friends and I love the style, I'd wear it much more often if I could. My only gripe is that I find sweet lolita to be cringey more often than not. I think that classic and gothic are so beautiful and elegant, and then there's OTT sweet that's just so costumey and probably easily mistaken for ageplay by normies.

Mind you, my disliking sweet is probably met with just as much dislike of ouji. There's not a lot of love for handsome men dressed up in shorts and high socks, I guess. I think it's another style easily done wrong; both it and sweet can look great on the right people, but it's easy to overdo it.

I am 21 and just a few weeks ago I heard from a lady in the co-op that she didn't think I was a day over 14. It slightly depends on how I present myself, obviously, but still, 95 % of the time I will get ID'd for everything. It fucking sucks, because if I forget my ID I am absolutely fucked. Even been accused of my ID not being mine a few times.

I get it, I am 5'3 with a very round face, big eyes, tiny nose and mouth and generally very round features. Also my hair is naturally extremely curly. For some reason people seem to perceive me as even shorter than I am.. even when I put on makeup I just look like maybe a 16 year old. Like, I've tried accentuating all the features that would make me look older but it just doesn't really work. I don't have them so the difference it makes is minor. There's only so much you can do eh. Sometimes it's fun to have the doll look and go with it, but fucking hell. Not when you wanna be taken seriously… I kind of feel like even when I'm wearing very put together clothing I just look like I stole something outta my mom's wardrobe.

Don't dress in lolita fashion. It'll only make you look younger. Also don't try to hard to look like an actual adult, because then you'd just look like a child wearing an adult their clothes.

Not everyone thinks 'sophisticated' has to be synonymous with dressing like Anna Wintours.
And just like normalfag fashion, there are different degrees to which we all take our style choices. Some like to do the whole OTT historical costuming thing all the way, some just wanna look like regular dames wearing petticoats.
But go ahead with the mass generalizations. If you think it looks stupid, don't wear it: simple enough. Just don't be one of those sperglord assholes who like…throws beverages out of their car windows at girls wearing lolita, or thinks its so funny and original to ask where our sheep are or 'it's not halloween' or whatever.

thanks for understanding.
I can kind of where you're coming from, because even classic lolita (supposedly the most 'toned down' look) has trends now like…girls going around wearing ships or floral bouquets on their head.
And that's cool, too, because they're trying to show off their creativity and make the same kind of outfits that they see in magazine shoots. It's hard for me to diss that because I think of it as going the extra mile. To others it probably looks too theatrical and tryhard, though, and I get that–I just hate seeing girls get scared away from the fashion because they're worried about receiving a negative reaction IRL.
Anyways, I didn't mean for the original post to sound like I was frothing at the mouth over the issue. Sorry to cause a stir.

99% of the time it looks really bad. It's not flattering on most figures. I think it can really only be worn by small girls with really cute baby faces.

I think that almost all angelic pretty or OTT junk looks like trash, but I can appreciate -some- of the classical and old school looks (I think pic related is really cute even though her hair is fried– and again, she has the right sort of face), when it was more austere and unpretentious. There was something really modest and cute about it. I love most of the looks in >>163547.

The reason why lolitas are older is because it's expensive. I just bought a new release with something extra and it cost almost $400. That is just the dress, socks, bow and a extra headpiece.

Nah, not really. What countries are you referring to? Plus, that doesn't change any of my other points. You can dress however you want outside of very specific contexts like work, and it doesn't make you a "delusional NEET" to like things other people may not like lmao.

The fact that the fashion doesn't fit your own tastes and you don't like what you see doesn't necessarily make it bad, though. To be honest, if you're not a fashion designer with extensive knowledge on the nuances of style and form, you probably have shitty outfits and your opinion actually isn't worth much.
Your idea of "cute and/or vintage" is probably trash-tier, too, especially since you specifically avoided giving any examples.
>Matching patterns, "cords" or whatever and the community seem highly autistic.
The fact that the idea of coordination/matching patterns is "autistic" to you just demonstrates that you don't know shit about fashion as a whole. Putting together a good outfit usually requires consideration of those sorts of thing, regardless of whether it's Lolita or some other fashion subculture. Shape, pattern, color, fabric, form, etc are important, even if some outfits look ""effortless"" on Instagram/Pinterest to you.
>I doubt Lolita's can dress themselves properly with a normal style and make this Lolita culture to justify dressing in what everyone else thinks looks like shit.
Most groups with a common interest create groups/communities/culture regardless of common acceptance. The fact that you don't understand this, and instead default to "They're doing it because no one else likes them!!!" just makes you sound like the autistic one.

I don't try to dress cute or vintage. I've seen it pulled off but I don't care much or save pictures. I'm just guessing Lolita's want to look that way but it's hard to understand the mindset since I don't have autism.

Good thing they're not Halloween costumes and you're just retarded enough to call them that, then.
>The proof is in this entire board
You mean the one you're browsing right now?
>spend their day to day taking selfies for their singular digit number of Instagram followers.
Nice projection there.
>Non sequitur. Your Halloween costumes are Halloween costumes. Westwood was an innovator.
On what basis is she an innovator, but other designer brands "Halloween costumes"? That you personally like one of them? Kek.
>Whose clientele include Iggy Azalea and Rita Ora. Could you not have Googled some better examples of "slightly OTT" designers?
Who cares who their clientele includes? Are you this starved of an actual point?
>You mean… you?
No, you and your insane ramblings and lack of any actual argument. You literally ignored me pointing out that it's possible to have a job/degree and still dress alternatively to screech about Halloween costumes and Instagram followers. Pretty pathetic, really.
>I'm happy that you don't approve of how I dress because it means my tastes don't align with a person that has the mental age of a child.

Pretty sure no neckbeard who's into steampunk and fedoras tries to argue his tastes are the height of fashion, but he doesn't care and wears them anyway. I'd actually respect that more than some neckbeard who barely knows how to dress himself in anything other than a crusty, cum-stained graphic tee and the same jeans he wore in HS yelling at other neckbeards who like steampunk or whatever for not dressing "normal" lmao.

By "several", do you mean one other person who tried to defend your points but didn't have any real argument? Plus, I never accused this "other person" of being you.
>I don't try to dress cute or vintage.
I didn't say you did, I said your idea of it is probably shit and the fact that you can't go into detail on exactly what you mean just betrays it.
>I've seen it pulled off but I don't care much or save pictures.
That just further underlines that you don't know what you're talking about.

Also, I don't know what NEET response you're talking about, and I don't care to check. Your response didn't say anything but talk about "designer" brands, for whatever reason, in response to being a NEET.

I hope the other anons in the thread can knock some sense into you so you can start maturing in time for your 30s, because it seems you've already missed to boat for your 20s.

Fashion opinion threads are always back and forth arguments. I'm wondering if a 'fashion you hate' thread wouldn't be more productive for some users, attach a pic and several reasons why you hate it. Then at least if you're into a fashion you can read it and go "oh, there's a few things people on the outside fucking hate about it. I'll avoid those".

On topic though, not a fan of lolita. Also, showing pictures of fat lolita's isn't fair. Fatties look bad in anything.

for me at university, I would dress up on days that I had days without studio classes because I didn't have to worry about getting my dress dirty if I was only sitting in a lecture hall for a few hours.
wearing something pretty would make the day seem more 'fun' because I felt like dressing up is invigorating, whereas otherwise I probably would have rolled out of bed and slouched into class in a hoodie, some leggings and no makeup.
It's like…I'm not insecure, but I can tell the difference between the days that I look cute & presentable and the days that I make no effort at all by the way people treat me. Their eyes linger, they're more likely to smile at or strike up a conversation with me–and that's not talking about when I wear lolita, necessarily, but on days that I try to actually put together an outfit and style my hair and everything
I'm usually pretty shy IRL, so walking around with a big poofy dress on would, you'd think, be way out of my comfort zone. But actually, it's like…I dunno, I know that there are people out there that aren't going to like it, who are gonna think that I'm some kind of age-playing freak or attention whore or something. But it makes my day better. And it acts as a kind of communication with the rest of the world, without me having to say a word. If I saw another lolita in public, depending on her style, I could probably strike up a conversation with her over sanrio characters, or horror manga, or Downton Abbey, depending on her style. Lolitas wear their hearts on their sleeves, no matter what anyone else thinks. I always thought that took a considerable amount of bravery–maybe that's why I wanted to join them.

I personally like lolita and wear it but I have to say some of it is ugly as all shit. Once I see a dress with crosses stuck all over it it's just no all the way. I don't understand the religious themes.
It's really weird at first cause you get stared at so much but then it's like "eh why worry about it". It's not something for everyday wear causw it can be a damn pain to clean.

I don't get how there are still people who think lolita fashion is about ageplay when we have the internet to look it up in a hot fucking hurry. Ageplay and perverted shit as a whole get shamed and chased out of the community by the vast majority. Even the SJW lolitas lose their fucking minds when some perverted man in a frilly dress shows up, despite how quick they are otherwise to screech about transphobia. The entire point of lolita is elegance and innocence, neither of which are properly compatible with fetishization.

Fatties in lolita are so outcast that the community has its own term for them; "fatty-chans". Most lolitas hate fatty-chans because not only do they make the fashion look bad, but they stretch out and ruin dresses before reselling them for hundreds of dollars to buyers who would've otherwise fit them at the original sizing.

The idea that lolita should be only for Asians is retarded. Just like what the Japanese did with the American Navy's old uniform that they turned into a pedo-fetish, they adopted an old look and now suddenly everyone with less than half a brain thinks the Japanese invented and own it.

I'm not personally into lolita fashion and think most of them are catty little bitches who waste disgusting amounts of money on impractical, hard-to-clean clothes that they almost never get to wear. But shit guys, get your facts straight.

looks tacky and cosplay. children's clothes from burandos or whatever looks less tacky just ask the workers in poor countries to make it an XXXXXL size for you if you want a frilly dress that doesn't look cosplay. but most girls who wear lolita dresses grew out of it and the fashion has died like that ganguro/gyaru shit. on cgl there are mostly cosplayers for anime and literal cosplayers (as in lolita dresses) for cons and stuff to get attention and fit in circle jerks. the fashion however to wear it more than once a month is dead. thankfully. if they have not grown out of koreabooness most of em are just now koreaboos. now there's costhots and they are still popular just be that for the attention but
