/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Lolita fashion and most J-fashions vary between their most Over The Top (OTT) and more street style friendly versions. While wearing J-fashion, what are some intentional adjustments or choices you've made to make the looks more comfortable / wearable for you? Maybe your body type means sipping either the top most or bottom most row of shirring makes a world of difference, or maybe your location means the weather dictates certain outerwear / innerwear choices?

I'll start - Lolita in rural high wind / dry weather farming area
>Always long bloomers
>Never hoop skirts
>Wear actual sturdy boots in a nice brown
>Place more focus on unique hats over hair (the wind!)
>Avoid solid white main pieces
>Go for busier prints that can hide the not-always but offending specks of dirt
