Choosing Your Lolita Style

Lolita is an interesting fashion, in that there is an incredible variety of styles within it.I have often seen questions of this nature: Can I be Lolita if I don’t like too much lace? Am I a “real” Lolita if I only like Punk Lolita? Do I have to choose only one style and stick with it forever? Can I wear Sweet and Gothic style together?

First off, because there are many styles of Lolita, no style is “more Lolita” than another.  There is also no rule which says you cannot wear any or all of the styles to your heart’s content.

Most Lolita styles have a basic color scheme.  Lolita also looks best when it works with only two or three colors in a single outfit, and so that pink Angelic Pretty skirt you just bought will probably need entirely pink and white accessories.

Now, if you buy another pink skirt, you have all the same components to put into your outfit. You do not have to run out and get anything new to match it.Even if you have a large budget, chances are that you will end up with fewer potential coordinates than you would if you stayed close to your color and style of choice.

Deciding on your style is the difficult part, especially when you cannot simply walk into a store and try it on yourself. The important thing to ask is whether it will look good on you, and whether you will feel good wearing it.
