I don't get why people think it's about looking like a little girl.
Sure, I want to look "youthful" in the sense that most women do (nice skin, minimal wrinkles, healthy hair, etc.), but I sure as hell don't want to look young. A lot of people are going to think you're dressed weirdly if you're wearing lolita no matter how old you are or what style you're wearing (unless you wear it so toned down that you're like FR), so just dress for yourself.
Obviously try to choose colours, cuts, and makeup that flatter you, but don't stop wearing something you love just because you're "old."

Nope, even if you're 50+ you could still rock aristocratic looks and certain classic styles, think of otome brand's namesake Jane Marple too. I do think however, unless you have the no-fucks-given attitude, ott sweet and sweet in general is probably going to start to look awkward. I would say though that it's amazing what a bit of punk-ass attitude and poise can do for pulling it off, confidence is definitely key.

Don't go for frilly socks and above knee skirts though, at least not in sweet or if you don't quite pull off the aforementioned, stylish NFG vibe.

Kokusyoku Sumire btw are rumored to be well into their 40s and still rock lolita hard, they're an older lolitas inspiration of mine.

Collage is inspiration and attitude more than anything, not so much 'all this is totes 100% lolita guys'! So please calm yo tits in advance.

Oh and with the Jane Marple brand stuff, because the focus is often on print rather than an excess of pomp, bows and frills, i would still wear the crap out of at lot of it at any age, perhaps adding a tasteful underskirt to keep everything at least just below the knee.

From reading this thread, and ita threads and my own experience it seems the general consensus is looks>age. Basic[ally, a 30 something with a cute face and nice figure will universally look more suitable in lolita than a say 19 year old with an old/mature (or just ugly) looking face especially if they are overweight and moreso if they are wearing sweet. Considering this is a fashion that's centered around beauty, aesthetics and escapism this makes sense.

Yeah. People age so differently, too, that I'm sure a lot of girls who are actually older get overlooked in these kinds of threads since people just assume they're in their mid-twenties.

The other thing is that so many lolitas don't know the first thing about fashion outside of lolita, so they often don't have a grasp of flattering colors, cuts, and make up (and if they do, it's something they learned from a Japanese tutorial, which may not look right on a white or black girl). All of those things can make a younger girl look older than she actually is.

Totally agreed. It's about how the individual pulls it off and chooses things that suit their looks, less to do with actual age or not. It's totally possible to wear sweet and choose colors, cuts and motifs that will suit you if you have mature looks- but it's about the styling.

In this case you're saying we might as well be age players pretending to be 5.

This question has been asked many times and there is no real answer. Some will say once you are old/look old, to stop wearing sweet or leave lolita period. Others will say just do what you want, it's your life.

It just comes down to if you care about what others think. If you have less confidence, easily follow the crowd and worry about the opinions of others, it will be harder to be an older sweet lolita. It's all up to your own personal feelings about it, no one can tell what you can or can not do.

that might be so but referring to 'older women' as hags etc is probably not the best starting point when attempting to showcase mature lolitas with style - shitty make-up and wigs are all over the place and is certainly not limited to older folk. Sure, call out the crap make-up or whatever if that's your thing but it would be nice, for once, not to go down the 'eeew old hags' type route whenever one of these threads is created.

I think that as I get older, I'd like to still be involved in J-fashion and gradually add a feel of sophistication. It makes me wonder if I'll end up a lone-lolita or if I'll be the resident old-schooler.

I can kind of imagine how the latter would be
>occasionally host elaborate private meet ups at my nice house
>big-ass wardrobe tour for the newbies to inspire to and try on
>be not only an experienced lolita mentor, but a kind of a big-sister/auntie figure - help them out with problems of growing up

Anyway, more pics please!

I dunno, most 30-35 year olds don't look old - shel by looks her age - she passes as a 25 year old just as she passes as an early 30 year old. I reckon 20-35 a persons age is really ambiguous based on looks. Clothing and style makes it tricky too. Someone could dress young and wear their hair a certain way and it can make them look youthful or mature.

Also looking young doesn't necessarily mean you look GOOD so I'm not sure why people keep bragging about this.

I agree, her hair always looks like a huge mess, no matter what she does and how she styles it. But I also blame her unflattering haircut for it, bangs and maybe a less yellow-ish hair dye would do wonders on her entire appearance.

It's all about how you take care of your skin with some genetics thrown in there too. People that I graduated high school with who smoke and tan, not to mention those who let themselves go and had kids clearly look way old. I'll be 33 this year and I pass for early to mid twenties at the most even without makeup on and in my hobo clothes.

I mainly wear sweet but I dabble a little in more mature styles as well. I don't wear them out in public often outside meetups or cons as I don't feel comfortable or safe without safety in numbers in my area. So it's not like I'm going out and about town doing my business dressed like a toddler. There's always someone who comes by with a very young child in a dress with a similar style or cut and I just feel awkward, haha. But it's kind of different when you're in a group or everyone is dressed differently.

I do like how Shelby adds a little more mature flair sometimes to her sweeter outfits rather than just doing the same old blouse, otks, headbow, teaparties formula.

I dont like her shoes and socks and the eyeshadow is too bright. I think if she would go for a nature makeup would be better since darker or bright eyeshadow tend to make you look older or weird when you are past 40/45.

I'm not really fond of too mature styles as you, i'm almost in my mid 20s and i look really good with bright or pastel colors, as well black. Infact i love sweet lolita and fairy kei.
Instead with muted, jewel tones or florals or mature stuff i look awful. So as you, i won't dress in classic when i hit 30, it doesn't look right on me unless it's black or dark red.

Not the same anon, but it's true though. Stereotypically it's like men that looks older are 'mature and manly', while younger-looking women are 'young and cute'. Most girls would find a 29 year old man that looks 15 unattractive, just like how a 20 year old girl that looks 40 is unattractive.

Blacks have a high amount of melanin in their skin (Asians have a good amount of melanin as well), and this generally stands up well against sun damage, the number one cause of skin aging.

Those with light skin don't do as well due to having virtually none, hence they don't age as well.

2. The girl is a domme with a humiliation fetish;
3. The girl is not a girl but a chickenhawk;

heeey I got posted! Personally, I have no issue with looking my age, I'm not trying to fool anybody in lolita (well, I try not to post really BAD photos of myself, but I don't photoshop myself all to hell etc). I tried to get out of Lolita, but it sucks me back in, so I guess I'm going to go on until I really feel like I'm not having fun anymore. My local community has always been really nice and nobody has ever said anything to my face about feeling awkward around me due to my age so *shrug*. I have to say that I do far prefer gothic - not gothic lolita but straight-up American style goth, it's a lot more flattering to my face and figure as a fashion.

Thanks for the lecture professor, but that only really applies to people who are 40+ and does nothing to explain how a woman in her late 20s or early 30s can look like an actual teenager. Sun damage does not show up that early unless you actively go tanning multiple times a week.

The real reason is that she's black (as well as overweight in that picture) and people always have a hard time telling the age of people who are of a different race than them. Plus that anon is talking about "ghetto" teenage girls, who are probably aging harder than other girls their age due to stressful circumstances. The issue isn't that the woman posted looks exceptionally youthful but that the young black women anon is comparing her to look older than you'd expect.

>>7779037
True. Plus the fact that the mental and emotional maturation of men in particular doesn't really start until they're in their 20's. Women are a few years ahead of them in that regard. I'm in my early twenties and men my age get on my nerves sometimes, I can't even imagine being around teenage boys anymore. Dating a dude who looks 15 and therefore attracts more fucktards that age?

Yeah the bullet belt w/ a skirt can give it a bellydance sort of feel and the goth/tribal/bellydance fusion was a thing a while back (in goth no trends die, they just die-back a bit, we still have some electro and rivet types, perkygoths around). I do a lot of fitted tops and big skirts that emphasize the waist which I think works on an "apple" shape like mine. In Lolita this shape makes me look fat(er) even when my BMI is in the normal range. But also having a "mature" body w/ developed breasts can kind of make Lolita fit awkwardly - that's hard to reconcile w/ the loli aesthetic for sure. I wear sports-bras under my brand to try and play it down.

I think the older you get the more important it is to look like you're wearing a real fashion and not a kid playing dress up for a costume event? I dunno, after a certain age walking around looking like you're wearing a costume is distasteful to me (unless you're at a con or something)

wow, this thread devolved quickly! ok, I'm going to actually address the hair for the one or two interested parties and then I'm gone for another year or two (CGL, you never change): Lolita is a tiny sliver of my life, I'm not changing the hair that makes me happy for a slight upgrade in my Lolita look. The more you chase perfection in Lolita, the more happiness slips away from you. Yes I could wear the perfect brand shoes rather than my bodyline comfy flats - for example - to meets and then stand around with a sour expression on my face because my feet hurt. Yes I could change my hair for a wig and plaster on makeup and it still would just make me feel insecure about my makeup melting or my wig slipping. it's a chimera, you will never catch it. I follow most of the Lolita "rules" and I'm "good" enough to have fun and to not crap up the meets or photos and in the end I care more about having a great time and being w/ the fun local folks drinking tea and carrying on. I'm willing to listen to advice, if it's practical advice and good advice I might even take it. But not at the cost of it making me unhappy. Maybe that makes me a special snowflake or something.

Never change CGL :)

ill just give my 2 cents on the whole lolitas 35+ thing. i think that maybe classic or gothic could work. not sweet. you would defiantly have to be a youthful old lady to look good in my book. heavy makeup, (god forbid circle lenses) and, unatural big wigs are nos. botox, simple maybe printless dresses, and non heeled shoes are yeses. i dont think that old ladies should worry about trying to look younger, maybe trying to look good older. but idk thats just what i think.
