What is Lolita?



     Lolita is a fashion subculture that began in Japan and has spread worldwide.  This style of clothing tends to focus on doll-like and detailed clothing.  While it has many different styles, such as gothic, sweet, and classic, they all incorporate innocence and modesty to some degree.

     Most of the original silhouettes used a puffy dress or knee-length skirt, but the styles have expanded over the years.  Now, Lolita also includes long skirts, blouses, headdresses, and stockings.

     
     Lolita focuses on being feminine and remaining modest in modern society.  It is not a way to get the attention of men, but rather to be seen as "cute" instead of "sexy".

     A Lolita, as a person, is anyone who dresses in the style.  They don't have to act a certain way to qualify.  You are following a style, but you should always keep a unique personality.  An important thing to remember is to be confident and happy with what you wear~
