And now for the controversial coords

>Is it a taboo?
How can it be when lolitas use cardigans, jackets, berets, etc in coords all the time?

> When does it work? When doesn't it work?
The biggest problem with using non-lolita clothing with lolita pieces is cut. Most western pieces are cut to end at the hips or accentuate them, but lolita pieces are all about the waist. So pieces like OP pic work because it accentuates the waist and keeps to the lolita silhouette.
It's basically why peignors didn't really work that well. They didn't flatter the silhouette.
