Is there such thing as "Casual Lolita" ?
I mean, I often see Lolita meets around here (Montreal)
But they're always wearing super flashy full-lolita outfits that really stick out in a crowd.

So is there a way to wear Lolita as a casual way rather than going FULL-BURANDO or FULL BODYLINU-DESU or will anything of the sort be considered Ita?

male /a/non passing by cgl here

There is a girl at my work who dresses like the girl in your pic, and she does a pretty good job of making it casual.

I've talked to her about it and she said the trick to make it look casual is to avoid ribbons and use top that fits your body. Don't wear anything too "fluffy".

It looks cute and sophisticated. I would ask her out on a date if she wasn't a tad bit too old for me.

Yeah no, that'd be stupid as fuck.
At least wear a decent blouse. Just not something super angelicpretty-frilly. right? (otherwise it kinda loses the casual-ness)

My issue here was "I like a lot of classic/kuro/goth-lolita brand skirts, but I don't want to wear them in a super flashy way nor do I want to be considered ita"

I don't own many graphic tees and I only wear sneakers with jeans so I don't think that would be the problem.

So I don't know if it would classify as lolita, but I genuinely like it.

There's a fulltime loli at my school, and she tends to wear her skirts with cute shirts and stuff, but it seems like she just mixes loli with more casual j-fashions on her lazy days. She does wear full loli to school sometimes though.

-Don't wear tshirts they look awkward with skirts
-Don't wear blouses under jsks, just with skirts. No one outside of loli does that and it looks weird/fancy to them.
-A plain cardigan or one with just a ruffle or two will tone down a jsk.
-Don't wear tea parties or other crazy super sweet shoes. Wear classier ones that don't stick out as much. Also avoid flats, even 1 in of heel will make the outfit much classier while remaining casual.
-Avoid super sweet pastel prints. There is no toning that down.
-Solid or lace tights over patterned socks.
-None busy prints work well since the skirts are simple and don't have a million ruffles so they look more casual then a skirt with a bustle and million ruffles and lace.

Are there any basic guidelines for punk lolita? I love that it's more casual and you can get away with cute boots or Docs. Alot of my clothing is stripey and studded, but I want to avoid looking like I just rolled in Hot Topic before I went out the door.

Safe for the Wearing no blouse under a JSK (I think it looks weabish as fuck. )

>> No.6526439

I'm the biggest ita in the world, but my go to for casual is usually to avoid a JSK and pair a cutsew, skirt and maybe a bolero with some nice tights and classy looking heels. I'd also reduce the amount of poof. Wear a petti obviously, you don't want your skirt lying there all dead and miserable, but don't go the full three pettis you'd wear to a meet.

I think a good rule for casual lolita is if you know it's still lolita and it still maintains femininity, but it integrates a sleeker, mature look over super poofy kawaii desu sparkle sparkle sunshine princess pony glitter racoon.

I activated sticky keys trying to reply to this and damned near lost all my tabs.
Anyway, OT things aside, I don't think there really are many rules to Punk Lolita. The idea is that it's punk, as long as it's still got the lolita shape you can be as anarchistic as you like.

Although, some lolitas will always call you ita, because punkloli is sort of hated by some.
I think it looks great, but striped socks can be so lazy, try and keep things fresh!

Make a tumblr too, because I don't see enough punk lolitas that aren't ita.

100%, it's her posture. If she kept her back up straight, her breasts would look amazing.
People do not realize how much posture changes how you look.
Seriously. Look in the mirror, slouch yourself forward. Then stand up straight. Your breasts look perkier, you look thinner, and you look more awake.
Everyone should check their posture when a photo is being taken of them.

It's like, simple designs, usually no print, and if print not loud, cutsews (people have forgotten about cutsews) and simple cardigans. Very little accessories, and your petticoat should be moderate, enough to give the bell or a line shape but not OTT puffy.
