The Lolita Diaries

Hey guys hope everyone is well , I would just like to say that before I write about two more types of Lolita , that A-Levels suck! Spent the week indoors revising and I am so bored it is unbelievable.
Any way moving on to this weeks Lolita styles

• Sailor Lolita
• Punk Lolita

Sailor Lolita
Sailor Lolita is a very nautical themed style of Lolita which is very much inspired by Japanese Sailor styled uniforms which consists of sailor collars, dark blues, and whites which are often key factors in recognising this style. Nautical motifs are often used in this style; symbols such as ship anchors and wheels make very cute additions to this style.


Like most Lolita styles the same bell-shaped skirt is expected, quite often this skirt may be pleated, and the outfit may often include a puffed-short-sleeved blouse with pockets.


Although striped socks may not work with a lot of Lolita styles, they often look nice when coordinated into a Sailor Lolita outfit.


Again minimal make-up with suit this style, including some lip-gloss to stop your lips from cracking if you'll be out near the sea!

Example 

Punk Lolita
Punk Lolita is perhaps one of the most challenging styles of Lolita to pull-off, because it takes someone with a lot of knowledge of Lolita fashion to be able to fuse the image of a Lolita with that of the Eastern punk style.


Punk Lolita comes generally in two forms.


First is an outfit that conforms to the general shape of Lolita, a bell shape knee length skirt (or a bit shorter for this style) but without as many clean lines as the other styles. Accessories and fabric choice are very important to this style: deconstructed fabrics and fishnets are a good choice, as are chains and studs. Also layering is key to this style! A Punk Lolita outfit is not simple; wearing a studded belt over your skirt doesn't make your outfit punk just as wearing a plaid fabric doesn't make your outfit punk.


The second form of Punk Lolita is an outfit that has a lighter feeling than a normal punk outfit and takes considerable inspiration from the Lolita style but doesn't quite conform to the general shape. It is a much girlier punk outfit with frills or bows. Though skirts may not be knee length and bell shaped they are still not skin tight and crotch length.


Makeup of course can be a bit heavier for Punk style than with the Sweet or Classic styles.

Once again praying for all those in Japan who have suffered another earthquake.
