Omg yay I'm so happy, /cgl/ is so dead.
>>466900I am so sick of seeing her everywhere. Literally any website I visit for any content remotely related to EGL shoves her into my face. Ugly coords, ugly shooping, and the ugliest makeup that I have ever seen in my entire life. It doesn't help that every other word to come out of her mouth is classic ita-tier misinformation. Everything about her screams "I get everything about my personality from Tiktok." Guarantee she was an uber-normie until the pandemic tiktok boom, and there's nothing wrong with that, but it's obvious it was the case given that (and I can't stress this enough) godawful makeup that looks like a parody of every Deftones-listening tiktok teen that calls themselves goth. Sorry for ranting nonnies but I'm so sick of seeing her lmao, I think it's because she's doing both herself and lolita a huge disservice by insisting on wearing it like this. She'd look so much better attempting tradgoth or leaning fully into contemporary tiktok goth.

also i can't help but imagine her headwear is the result of someone upending a toybox over her head.

>>467403is it just me or did it feel like the price point used to be a gatekeeping method
like not in the 'no fatties allowed' way but in the sense that someone doing it for a fetish would rarely spend over $300 to fulfill that fetish. Now that the cost's been reduced to around half of that it's much more accessible to dudes who would have otherwise spent their cash on cheap satin sissy shit.
No. 467755
>>467703Definitely. And now that nobody cares about adhering to the fashion's guideliines, anything can now be lolita and you only have to spend $30 on aliexpress/amazon/shien to do it! Even bodyline and milanoo were better than the current batch of itaslop. I wish they would at least use taobao if they're gonna insist on nonburando, but that takes too much effort.
Unrelated, but who else is part of big ribcage and broad shoulders gang here? I am underweight and short but it's so hard to dress myself according to my body type because of how WIDE my upper half is. I hate how common sack dresses, empire waistlines, and babydoll cuts are! I'm so jealous of everyone with less severe proportions.

No. 468847
>>467703It wasn't just the price point of the dresses themselves, there were brand events and comm events that required a lot more cash than the average AGP was willing to drop. Plus the brand accessories, DIY dresses that were expected to be made to the same standards as brand dresses, color matching, different petticoats for different skirt shapes, the shoes, and other things like wigs and makeup and nails to complete the look, added significantly to the cost, and they were expected to be part of the coord in some capacity. Itas were ripped to shreds and anyone who sauntered up to a meet in wrinkly Milanoo cosplay was ridiculed on every lolita community on LJ. Now we're all expected to be oh so welcoming to newbies who impulse buy sissy dresses on Temu and don't understand why it's different to BTSSB. Of course disgusting troons feel comfortable in lolita. Kids and moids shit up our spaces and we're expected to cheer them on instead of kicking them out.
Honestly even Taobao didn't destroy lolita in the 2010s when it took off. Patterned tights, those halo headdresses, peignoirs and veils were often bought from local sellers or thrifted. There were spreadsheets going over the quality of the pieces from the popular Taobao sellers. Taobao lolitas were the new Bodyline lolitas but they were still expected to put in the work.
Now it's easy to buy all of that with no research, turn up in pesticide laden polyester knockoffs, do a skirt spinny no undies in front of the underage girls, and get all the asspats in the world for it.

>>468838I only use instagram and pinterest for my lolita inspiration nowadays. I'm tired of seeing men and itas. A lot of itas genuinely view lolita as a costume rather than actual clothes and as a competition to try and make the most elaborate and most uncomfortable looking co-ords possible. I am sick of seeing try hard co-ords with demonias, harnesses, greasy hair, ill fitting dresses, morbid obesity and ugly heavy makeup. I generally don't like OTT outfits as it is anyways, i like boring ass old school outfits and i HATE creativity. This desperate need for creativity is what's fueling all these fucking itas. The fact that lolita is supposed to be cute and elegant is lost on itas who are obsessed with being as edgy as possible. This is not the space to try to be special or unique. I can't fathom opening up an gothic lolita bible and seeing a gorgeous moitie co-ord and thinking it would look better if Mana was wearing poorly applied green lipstick, musty leg warmers and rainbow fishnet. Every single one of these itas should just give up on being a part of the community and wear general alt stuff. Don't even get me started on the creepy agps, i am tired.
No. 469205
>>468917>itas genuinely view lolita as a costume rather than actual clothesI think this is a good summarization of the ita ethos in general, along with their perspective of there being no rules in fashion despite their wanting to be recognized as being a part of a specific subculture that does have rules. They're like trannies in many ways.
>demoniasI really like the mary jane offerings by Demonia, they're great for old school looks, but I agree that their huge boots look pretty bad in general but especially with lolita. I totally agree with all your points and I think the main issue with current itas is that they DO see lolita as extremely alt so to them that means it must go well with fishnets, 4 inch boots, and hot pink hair.

No. 470764
>>468917>a lot of itas genuinely view lolita as a costume rather than actual clothesBecause there is hardly anyone that wears lolita as practical everyday wear. It might as well be a costume. Even the toned down classic lolita silhouette will still draw the attention of normies who are wondering why "you're so dressed up?" Put a pastel vomit taobao ita next to your best dressed brand and normies will think they are costumes with the only distinction being that one better coordinated their costume than the other. You might as well be creative and have fun with it because people aren't taking you seriously anyway.
I know this is a hard pill to swallow, but it's the truth. Ita has nothing to do whether someone finds the fashion to be 'costumey' or not, I assure you that the taobao itas have as shit fashion sense in their every day wear too and lolita is no exception for them.
But death to agps regardless.
No. 470911
>>469619Eyebrows should be as much a requirement as a petticoat.
>>470764It may depend on the lifestyle, but quite a few lolitas find the clothing suitably practical for every day wear. I do think meet-ups garner more "why are you dressed up?" questions than a classic (or more maturely styled sweet) lonelita encounters. Having people with anime-colored hair in the group likely encourages costume/cosplay questions as well, but the costume assumption is more due to having a mass of people dressed in such a way.

>>471094>lolita, and all subculture fashions are less about expressing your uniqueness through fashion and more about finding something that aligns with the you that you're trying to expressI think this ties in to what
>>468917 was saying. There is a disconnect between people who wear lolita simply because it is unique and attention-grabbing. They treat it like a costume and try wacky-zany things to make themselves the most unique of all lolitas, while also often engaging in mannerisms that are in direct contrast to the image of the fashion (screeching inappropriate language in a cafe meetup, the whole slew of edgy oldschoolers who take pictures posing with dead animals they find in a ditch or their own urine). To them, lolita is another avenue for getting attention, with the end goal of being the #1 most unique person on the planet, hence their need to differentiate themselves from other lolitas. This is different than someone who wears lolita to express a version of themselves. They aren't seeking attention and are happy to wear lolita even if no one else sees them. The clothes just happen to suit their tastes and reflect their aspirations.

>>466982I live in a smaller city where any sort of unusual fashion is rare and people were telling me about a particular other girl in town who ostensibly wears clothes like mine. I eventually saw her on the street and I had a similar reaction as you, she turned out to be all in on that sort of cheap, vaguely lolita aliexpress-tier garbage but there was something cute and charming about it anyway. Maybe it's because she's just someone having fun on her own in Middleofnowhere Midwest and not an obnoxious TikToklita loudly invading lolita spaces for clout but it was weirdly nice to see someone trying even if her coord was terrible.
>>468009A good wig with bangs would easily fix hair issues in a lot of cases and I think the makeup wouldn't even be such a big issue if she had a fitting hairstyle.
Unpopular opinion but even no makeup is honestly just fine in a lot of simpler coords, although good skincare and grooming become crucial, which is what itas miss. It's skipping basic hygiene and poor styling skills that really ruin a coord, not just lack of makeup… Unless you're doing insane clown drag makeup like a lot of people are, for some reason, I guess.

I know I'll get crucified for this by her fangirls but it's baffling to me how extremely inconsistent in terms of quality her coords are.
They're such a hit or miss. She has so many incredible coords but recently when it's bad it's really bad despite her wearing exclusively burando.
I feel like her coords have gotten slightly worse over the years with her drag and e-girl fashion bleeding into the lolita stuff.
So many of these could be fixed really easily too. Picrel would be a cute casual coord if it wasn't for the hair which I guess shows the importance of details when it comes to lolita because it really does so much worse because of it.

I feel like it's very telling that 99% of moids who wear lolita won't even give styles like ouji or aristo a second glance kek. It's so obvious that they don't care about clothing no matter how much they say they're wearing lolita because they "love the fashion."
No. 488613
>>486082All the troons I've met through lolita gravitate towards sweet, it's uncanny. It's almost to the point that I feel bad for the 'normal' sweet lolitas. The AGPs/sissies and dd/lg kink communities are so gross and unfortunately that's all normies see when they catch sight of sweet lolitas: someone advertising their kink. It's even worse when they're a blue-haired genderspecials or itas in nekomimi because that REALLY makes the rest of us all look like we're there for the Steampunk & Furries Sex Party.
like newbies will complain about 'gatekeeping' and 'the laws of lolita' but ffs I do not want to stand next to some of y'all. and like it or not, 'gatekeeping' is part of all subcultures. If standards are so lax that ANYBODY is part of your subculture because they're wearing a knee-length skirt and a petticoat, that 'subculture' doesn't exist, there is no culture to it, it is simply a person wearing clothing. I guess that's what the new generation sees it as, but that wasn't always what it was.
and frankly the culture is part of what attracted me to it, if the whole thing was just 'human-sized doll dresses which cost a lot' I would still think they were beautiful but I probably wouldn't save up to buy and wear them in the same way I don't save up to buy and wear haute couture, because I don't feel any kind of personal connection to it.
No. 488908
>>488613This is half the reason I bowed out of the local comm, and I'm sure a lot of nonas here have the same experience. I had already made my friends, and it was just… really embarrassing to be seen with loud/obnoxious/unwashed genderspecials that have bad hair and can't style.
I think the problem is that a lot of newer lolitas don't have an interest in fashion outside of lolita, they just see lolita as an extension of their quirky internet animu persona. I think that's part of why the "rules" are enforced, it's an attempt to give people with no actual sense of style some guardrails so they don't look like garbage. Whenever you see people who wear EGL really well, I feel like they usually have a background in some other alternative fashion and developed a good eye from that. The other problem is that people try to make "being a lolita" into their personality, but don't have any other hobbies that would involve them in the subculture (visual kei music, sewing, embroidery, history, literature, art, film, fashion). So basically like you said, subculture is dead and everyone just thinks lolita is wearing $30 Taobao dresses.

>>488908It really feels like a lot of newer lolitas learned about it through social media trends and are just playing dress-up for the AEsThetIC, they don't have a good eye for well-made dresses or any interest in lolita's roots. It's not about wearing cute or pretty clothes, it's just larp. They don't care if their clothes are designed with quality or wearability in mind as long as it looks kawiwi enough so there's no point in shelling out for brand. Comms then tolerate them hoping they'll improve, but they usually don't learn to dress because their view of the fashion is skewed from the very beginning.

Can we post about ouji itas here? It's crazy that the fashion subcult is so small, but majority of what I'm seeing are disasters. Nowadays, it's overun with overweight gendies in Princess Chronicles and other cheap taobao brands.
What I hate the most is that none of them seem to care about grooming themselves or applying just the minimum amount of concealer to hide their acne scars and raccoon eyes. You would think that in a fashion where the goal is to be princely, that they would care more.

I love "vintage" itahood. I don't know if it's the nostalgia speaking or what but it's actually soulful in comparison to today's maximalist ita style. Most of them probably coord just fine today because they have access to better pieces. I like that they radiate joy and excitement in every picture. And it makes me realize at least 50% of what makes a coord ita is 2010s millenial quirky makeup and hair choices. I would defend itas if they still looked like picrel

Teaparties are
flat mary jane shoes right? I imagine they'd be more comfortable but they don't look as good as a heeled mary jane shoe like picrel.
On the topic of shoes, I used to be neutral to rocking horse shoes since they're a classic staple piece, but after rolling my ankles in them multiple times and eating shit going up/down stairs I've grown to absolutely hate them

On the topic of shoes: tea parties are the flat mary janes that typically have a bow on the toe, scalloped trim and the crossed straps like picrel. I owned a pair when I was starting out in EGL many years ago and they're surprisingly uncomfortable despite being flat, the ones I owned were also extremely slippery on the soles so I ate shit in them. Surprisingly, this has never happened in my RHS kek.

The goldilocks zone for shoes would be heeled mary janes, though they can't surpass 5cm otherwise I'll start stumbling. I think I struggle in platform shoes in general since I struggle to get a balance if my forefoot isnt on the ground.

I have a few pairs of specialty EGL shoes from Yosuke, but they all have pretty high platforms. I'm used to walking in platforms, but I have a pair of Clark's and a pair of Spring Step granny boots for when I have to walk long distances. Clarks and Fluevog specifically are very comfortable and make a lot of low-profile heeled mary janes and shoes that don't kill your feet, and you can find them for lower prices secondhand on eBay. Picrel are the Fluevog Kitcheners, I'm always on the hunt for them.

>>529736AYRT, I will say that I think you see nose and gauges less in older snaps because those are very "Western" piercings. Piercing trends vary by area because (in countries where they don't have actual cultural significance) they're largely influenced by counterculture music scenes. You see a lot more pierced JP lolitas with lip piercings I've noticed. I get annoyed when people pearl-clutch about piercings "ruining" a coord because IMO they genuinely don't have an effect as long as they're well-done, clean, and have good quality jewelry in them.

Her description says "unsure if this is sweet or classic" it's a mess is what it is. Never seen anybody max the shirring on literal Bodyline before.

I want to like her but her coords always seem off to me. Is it that they're to ott? I mean picrel is just a mess but some coords she does are almost nice.

>>532310>it seems like the style is leaning toward extremely over-decorated coord now thoughthis is funny because it actually isn't. maybe the last time you looked into lolita was the 2010s but old school and "proto" lolita (pls no arguments) have seen a resurgence in popularity since covid. i rarely see people wearing OTT styles anymore.
>>532449yeah this one sucks so it deserves to be here but otherwise i feel she's a little unkempt somehow? she would benefit from a face sticker or better styling.

>>532608i mean… yeah, you are an aspie because have you never been harassed or yelled at while wearing lolita?
and what do you do for work? i'd argue that some jobs might not take you seriously depending on what sub-style you wear.
as someone who wears lolita i completely understand why people are turned off from wearing it out of fear, especially if introverted or nervous. i feel like you have to like attention at least a little bit to wear it.
No. 532635
>>532608>>532618nta but why do you need to wear Lolita for work? Just wear it in your free time or once in a while. Not everyone wants to or can be a Lifestyler. Regarding people judging you: why would you care what a rando thought of you. Also they might admire you so give it a try
nonny.
No. 532979
>>532618i don't think it's that you have to like attention so much as it is that you have to not care about getting it when it happens as a natural result of wearing a very ostentatious outfit. if the proposed value of wearing/enjoying the outfit doesn't outweigh whatever negative attention a person is afraid of receiving, then wearing it just might not be for them. but they could consider themselves a collector/hoarder and just style fits on a mannequin or in their mirror without wearing it outside, I've seen people who enjoy the fashion that way.
i would say that whenever i wear lolita or otome, i know on some level that i'm going to attract some stares, but i just try to intentionally block other people's reactions out as much as possible and focus on whatever errand i'm running in the moment. you do have to develop somewhat of a thicker skin/dgaf attitude but that's good for people as just a general life skill imo.

>>532510Interesting. I feel like the old school fad has been waning for a bit and that people are going back to sweet, but it might just be the algorithm on my socmed. As an example, picrel is always thrown into my feed despite me not following her. While I wouldn't consider her to be an ita, her coords just aren't to my tastes because I don't enjoy OTT, so maybe because I keep seeing OTT when I don't want to I have a confirmation bias that it's back in style.
>>532618>have you never been harassed or yelled at while wearing lolitanta, and not meaning this as a direct attack at you, but I have never had anyone yell at me or harass me in lolita, and I've worn it at least weekly for nearly a decade now. The closest thing I've gotten to "harassment" is that some people will ask why I'm dressed the way I am, which is hardly harassment, but more of a curiousity. I often wonder about what the circumstances must be like for lolitas who do get yelled at, since I see people online say it occurs fairly frequently. Is it a cultural difference for where they live vs where I live that people act like that towards them or what?

>>533187>Is it a cultural difference for where they live vs where I live that people act like that towards them or what?Where I live it is really realistic that groups of teen boys will follow you, yell at you, bark at you, record you and even spit on you for wearing anything out of the norm as a woman. It also even happens to normie women. I'm scared of wearing lolita out, especially alone because of it. I've personally witnessed spitting right in the face happening, and when i did wear lolita out I had men stop dead in their tracks on their bikes to glare at me while I waited for my bus, and then biked away when I got on the bus.
For ref I live in a scandinavian medium sized city, locals mostly dont care but immigrants (not trying to racebait) and teens can be insanely cruel.
It was nothing like this when I was a teenager in early 2010s, we could wear whatever without any harrassment.

>>533340Same same. Ime it's either non-white teens, adult women (they'll mostly record you) and odd white men (incl. AGP crossdressers) that look like reddit jannies. The teenagers are the most hostile group but the redditor types will follow you around. Medium-sized cities suck.

>>534242AYRT, you'd actually be surprised. But this also varies entirely based on geographic location, substyle, age etc,. I've noticed since I've hit my mid-20's moids have stopped hitting on me almost entirely, which is really nice (but also horrifying that I got hit on most when I was 18-19). I wear gothic or aristo most days when I'm not working and need to go out; I've heard from a lot of people that you get less attention in gothic compared to sweet, and I think that's very accurate to my experience. Men typically leave me alone, but I get a lot of compliments from women, especially women over 50. All to say, if it's specifically male attention you're worried about, I think most men that aren't AGPs don't pay EGL a lot of mind outside.
