altrough not everything brands make is lolita, this excuse also seems to be said a bit to much. I've heard people say this about t-shirts (the regular t-shirts with a print, not the fancy cutsews) and some other items they didn't find lolita enough for their rules, even trough in Japan, people wear that stuff as lolita all the time.

I agree with >>9481558 that the rules are there to help newbies dress. They are more guidelines, and once you got a grasp of the fashion, you can break one or two rules and keep it lolita. Sadly, to many people misunderstand that as you can look horrible and call it lolita because they are guidelines :/.

It's funny how you can be lolita in Japan while wearing sneakers and no blouse under a JSK, or a t-shirt and skirt combo, and people scream ita here. Yes, 99% of the time it looks bad here, but that's because a lot of time western people do it, it are poorfags who can't or don't want to buy proper clothes so they just trow their sneakers and t-shirt on it, and a lolita coord, even without blouse, or with a t-shirt, or with sneakers, will need to be somewhat cohesive.

I feel the Chinese are more stricked with looking good and cohesive than the Japanese to begin with hahaha. To me, those Chinese OTT coords are perfection, and make me kinda want surgery if it wouldn't look so horrible on white people. Pic related.

And yes, being Asian helps looking good. Not because of yellow fever, but because most Asians just have a more yougthfull face and body, which makes it more easy to look cute. Add to that, that they learn to take care of their skin way better than most western people do and you'll easily look better. Also, down turned lacrimal ducts tend to be found more pretty, and although any race can have that, Asians have it almost always. Science is so nice :).
