>What is your definition of casual lolita? Is it casual by lolita standards or normie standards?
Casual by lolita standards. If I wanted to be casual by normie standards, I just wouldn't wear lolita at all.

>What makes an outfit casual or not?
Minimal accessories, simple color coordination and cuts, and a "lived in" feeling. I think cardigans make outfits more casual for some reason.

>What is easier to wear casually: OPs, JSKs or skirts?
Skirts and JSKs.

>Can wigs ever be considered casual?
Yes, but only if the wig is passable as real hair and not styled in an OTT way.

>What is your definition of casual lolita? Is it casual by lolita standards or normie standards?
it is lolita mixed with casual jfash elements. for casual lolita, some rules of lolita are broken or bent to accommodate a more relaxed, comfy coordinate. there must be enough "lolita" in the coord to keep it as "casual lolita" rather than a "casual mix coord".

>What makes an outfit casual or not?
the combination of items should not be too neat nor too clean. the silhouette should feel freer or more relaxed than a lolita coordinate.

comparing the sweet lolita coord in this image with the casual lolita coord, what makes the casual coord "casual" is the sweat shirt, the un-lolita shoes, the more relaxed hair style, and the absence of a petticoat. each coord will be different, though.

>What is easier to wear casually: OPs, JSKs or skirts?
skirts usually have fewer fancy, uncasual elements. they are easy to dress down.

>Can wigs ever be considered casual?
yes

>What is your definition of casual lolita? Is it casual by lolita standards or normie standards?

Casual by lolita standards. It's a comfier, easier way to wear lolita than normal.

>What makes an outfit casual or not?

Casual is simplifying or even excluding certain things that would be necessary for a normal coord. For example, wearing a tee or bolero instead of a blouse, plain legwear or none at all, minimal or no jewelry, smaller and less conspicuous headwear. It gives off a comfy vibe.

>What is easier to wear casually: OPs, JSKs or skirts?

For me, it's OPs. I can just thrown on the OP, headwear, shoes and be out the door in few mins. It's the easiest and fastest kind of coord to put on.

>Can wigs ever be considered casual?

In natural colors and toned down styles, sure.

Thank you for this thread.

I am a little afraid of derailing, but does anyone have suggestions on where to buy cutsews in this day and age, particularly ones that will fit 100+ cm chests? (I am aware stretch is a thing. I typically look for 88+ cm cardigans for myself and that works)

Most cutsews I find are older and thereby a lot smaller.

MAXICIMAM but the stock on CDJapan is sometimes limited depending on which specific cutsew. And their cutsews are the kinds with lacy collars and look very blouse-like still. The large/lovely size is usually fine for fitting the chest but they are a bit short so unless you have a higher sitting natural waist they may be too short to wear with skirts which many causal coords often use, but fine under jsks

>>What is your definition of casual lolita? Is it casual by lolita standards or normie standards?
Casual is a style I'd wear outside of meetups for everyday activities, errands, etc. It's casual by lolita standards but it should be okayish around normies as well. I should be able to dress quickly and move around comfortably, and that includes getting as little comments from strangers as possible.
>>What makes an outfit casual or not?
Casual is: not too many items, comfortable fit (nothing is falling off or getting destroyed by the weather, I can run and sit in transport, I can take something off if I'm hot, no sliding down socks and uncomfortable shoes), moderate petticoat, practical purse.
My casual outfits usually include cardigans, plain tights, normie shoes, little make-up and hair in an updo.
>>What is easier to wear casually: OPs, JSKs or skirts?
OPs - when you have to dress quickly.
Skirts (with cutsews) when you have to move a lot.
>>Can wigs ever be considered casual?
Naural coloured and medium to short length wigs can be a lifesaver when you need to dress very quickly. So yes, some of them can.

>> No.10396538

Some of these coordinates still read like full lolia to me. Like what makes >>10396273 casual, the use of a cutsew and not a blouse?

>> No.10396558

>>10396538
Casual lolita is full lolita it's just more casual. I think that cutsews are more easy to move around in so that makes it more casual. The barret is also more practical than a big headbow because it can actually keep you warm. So basically I think casual means practical to me but it can mean other things to others such as ease of coordinating or something.

>> No.10396582

>>10396538
I find it's also the number of pieces used. Like, if you throw on an OP, headbow, socks and shoes that's really basic in terms of what you're actually wearing but you may still look really fancy because of the pieces themselves. That's why it's tricky to definre.

Casual isn’t a substyle. It’s like “summer friendly coordinates.” What that is is different to different people.

Casual coords are just coords that are easy to put on and wear around town casually. Sometimes that includes cutsews and skirts and questionable footwear but sometimes it’s just a comfy jsk, cutsews and hat

But an OP, headbow and socks is a full coordinate, and also could be easily OTT. No one would consider pic related casual.

i think the definition of casual has broadened as normal coordinates become more dressy and OTT.

I like the discussion happening ITT.
One person mentioned petticoat sizes... I'd like to add second that it's a big deciding factor whether something is casual or not. A lot of times people think skirt = casual but when it has a huge petticoat like >>10396005, it's no longer casual imo.

>Like what makes >>10396273 # casual, the use of a cutsew and not a blouse?
i don't think it is casual.

in jfash, "casual" does not mean "simple". "simple" means "simple". (or, "shimpuru" does.)

"casual" is a style of clothing. Closet Child has a section for it, along with sections for Lolita, Gothic, Punk, etc.

"casual lolita" is "casual fashion" plus "lolita fashion".

this image gives two examples of casual sweet coords. one is casual + sweet lolita, one is casual + sweet without lolita.

I think there are different levels of casual. IMO casual means that it's missing something that is usually required in coord, such as a blouse or socks. In this case she replaced the required blouse with a cutsew, when cutsews are not part of a "proper" lolita coord, so it's slightly casual.

>> No.10396675

>>10396668
yes. and "casual" brands specialize in "casual" fashion, the way "punk" brands specialize in "punk" fashion. it has nothing to do with lolita.

it is best to think of "casual lolita" as "casual style plus lolita fashion", rather than "lolita but less strict".

If you're really out of options, you can try contacting Cherie Cherise or Lady Sloth.

Cherie Cherise use to custom make dresses, then when they introduced their cutsews I think they also made them in bigger sizes. It's been years since then though, so I'm not sure if their business model has changed. If not, they might be able to help you with your sizing.

Lady Sloth has always used stretch fabric in some of her earliest dresses, so at least we do know she is able to sew with it. You could probably request a custom cutsew from her.

>What is your definition of casual lolita? Is it casual by lolita standards or normie standards?
Lolita coord that you name more daily and casual than standard at a glance. For normie standards I'd just wear hoodie and jeans.

>What makes an outfit casual or not?
Less fansy shoes and bag. Little and simple headdress. Less voluminous petticoat. Cutsew or T-shirt with loliable print/details. And maybe less marked accent on waistline.

>What is easier to wear casually: OPs, JSKs or skirts?
Some anon here says it's OP cause you don't need to choose nothing else except shoes and headwear. I understand this but I personally can't make my OP coords look casual so I use skirts and cutsews.

>> No.10397216

>>10397201
i do not think it refers to the situational appropriateness. i think "casual style" is not a Fashion like lolita or gyaru, but it is nonetheless a category which can stand on its own. you can call an outfit "casual' and not worry about qualifying it with anything else.

it can be defined by ease, comfort, and a kind of looseness or carefree-ness. it is not common to see crisp, straight lines in a casual outfit. there is a relaxed and easy-going feeling.

from my observations, casual may not be its own strict Fashion Tribe, but it has its own aesthetic elements that influence whatever fashion it is combined with.

i also think these categories all have permeable boundaries and ultimately, we mostly agree on what a casual lolita coord is when we see one.

no problem. sorry for being a cunt. i just really hate when westerners (non-japanese) define things from magazines almost explicitly, without taking japanese cultural context into consideration. japan is meticulous when it comes to defining things and using words in a certain way. and magazines tend to categorize everything in order to mirror that meticulousness. most fashion in japan is still centered around what is and isn't appropriate for any given situation, and that's where fashion terms come from initially, then they end up being applied to specific street fashions in order to "ground" them, more for the benefit of onlookers than anyone else, but they still keep their roots. another issue with a lot of street fashions in japan is that most of them, while trying to express a subculture rebellious element, also fall prey to the meticulous definitions by magazines and the like, even though most of the fashion participants simply use that as a guide. people wearing street fashion tend to be more lax, since social awareness is slightly diminished. this probably is why there are so many "rules" in lolita that the west adheres to, when in japan, most people don't on a day to day basis. i understand why many people who have never been part of japanese culture don't really grasp the importance of context, but it's frustrating for people to make their own conclusions based on a narrow view.

yes. magazines also have the agenda of selling brands to justify their advertising pricing, and sometimes those meticulous definitions have the ulterior motive of getting you to buy the product. this is what helped set Fruits apart, i think, and why Kera's current website seems a bit lifeless (the artistry is mostly gone, and it's more transparently about selling clothes)

yes, it is a term that is difficult to describe. it means different things to everyone. also, the blog mentions specifically casual items (cutsews, hoodies, printed skirts that don't need a petti, etc.) to use for people who are looking to try a casual lolita coord. so, even though the concept is different for each person, there are some ways that are commonly used for making a coord casual; such as susbtituting casual-style clothing for lolita brand clothing.

it's not that you weren't being clear, you're being perfectly clear, you just don't understand what you're saying. you very strictly defined casual a few times, you just don't seem to understand that's what you're doing (probably because you're not defining it with concrete terms or examples). you also seem to think that cultural context doesn't matter when in fact it's pretty important. and now you're just digging your heels and posting shit that isn't even lolita, because by your definition anything that looks seemingly lolita to you but doesn't have poof is lolita, including random pinkhouse stock photos which you probably only found because you looked up the brand in closet child's casual section.

>>What is your definition of casual lolita? Is it casual by lolita standards or normie standards?
Definitely casual by lolita standards, although I think normies consider sweaters/hoodies casual as well and those could be considered a staple for casual lolita imo as long as they fit the kawaii aesthetic
>>What makes an outfit casual or not?
Coords with a comfy and laid back vibe read as casual to me. I think knitwear works great for that!
>>What is easier to wear casually: OPs, JSKs or skirts?
Skirts, but JSKs and OPs can be styled casually too if you know what you're doing
>>Can wigs ever be considered casual?
Depends on the wig styling, if it looks like natural hair then why not?

>>10396616
This for example is an unnatural wig styling that pushes the coords into OTT territory

>>What is your definition of casual lolita? Is it casual by lolita standards or normie standards?
Putting on a dress is already not casual by local normie standards. I define casual as a coord I feel comfortable wearing to the grocery store.

>>What makes an outfit casual or not?
For me pretty much a cutsew, few accessories, and small poof because I live in a hot climate. I can't use hoodies, cardigans, berets, and legwarmers to give a cozy feeling. It ends up looking more "simple" than "comfy", which apparently might piss some of the definition-obsessed people off. I'm not willing to wrinkle my skirt to look more pedestrian.

>>What is easier to wear casually: OPs, JSKs or skirts?
For me, JSK with a cutsew, but for shorter women, SK. I don't like having to worry about my cutsew being too short to stay tucked all day or too short to cover the ugly shirred part of the waistband.

>>Can wigs ever be considered casual?
If they pass for natural, sure. I think extensions and partial hairpieces are more casual than a full wig, though.

Possible hot take: brand miniskirts are still lolita but specifically casual lolita.
