Mollymews Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 agree with Syo, the general classification of the shown clothing style these days is lolita lolita is also a pretty generic term. So ends up being qualified with some associative/additive descriptor as Syo mentions, same as kawaii is and neko as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The easiest example is probably the petticoat, worn under all skirts and dresses. However Lolita is part of the vast, ever expanding umbrella of japanese street fashion.

Bree Giffen Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Another term I hear a lot in anime is MOE (Mo-Eh) which is specifically a cute girl who evokes feelings of love, innocence and the need to protect her. There is also TSUNDERE (Sun-De-Reh) who is more of a straight, unfunny person, even mean or angry, but is also lovable and cute at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolita can be kawaii, especially substyles like Sweet Lolita, which focuses on pastel colours, printed fabric with friendly designs (fruits, cake, kittens, teddybears, bunnies...) and lots of acessories. Other styles are a bit more subtile (example picture attached, this would be Qi Lolita) Why I know all this stuff? Because I'm fool enough to own an outfit myself...precisly the one in the picture. If it weren't for covid, I would have worn it at least once to an event by now. Syo, I didn't have time earlier, but I wanted to say that this is so gorgeous! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
