Lolita is a fashion style that originates in the Japan of the early nineteen eighties. It’s a street-fashion inspired by the clothing and aesthetics of the Victorian and Rococo periods. The Lolita fashion-style has greatly evolved since it origins and by today there are more than ten different Lolita styles known. The most widely know Lolita styles are Sweet Lolita, Gothic Lolita and Classic Lolita.
But what really makes a Lolita outfit? The Lolita style in general is characterized by wearing a bell-shaped skirt or dress with petticoats and bloomers underneath, a blouse, knee-length, socks and ideally Mary Jane footwear. Is that all? No, because the Lolita style is more than a fashion trend. It’s a lifestyle that many Japanese women choose instead of getting married and having children. It’s a way of escaping modern society pressure of dressing and styling up to fit with men’s sexual fantasies. The Lolita-style is a fashion style that aims to create a world of cuteness and beauty instead of fulfilling sexual-fantasies. Although many people who first hear about Lolita style misunderstand it’s conception because of the widely known novel “Lolita” by Vladimir Nabokov that created a new understanding of the word Lolita.
Probably the most known Lolita style in the western world is the gothic-Lolita, which is primarily inspired by Victorian style. Basically, the gothic Lolita has nothing to do with gothic rock and gothic subculture of the western countries. Both styles are inspired by Victorian and Rococo style periods however. What separates the gothic Lolita style from other Lolita style is the use of dark colors and the wearing of modest dresses in comparison to other Lolita styles. A sweet Lolita style uses way more lace, ruffles and bows in their outfit than a gothic-Lolita.
