Gothic Lolita

Gothic Lolita style is usually a combination of black and white, often black with white lace and typically decorated with ribbons and lace trims. Skirts are knee length and may have a crinoline or petticoat to add volume. As in mainstream Japanese fashion, over-knee socks or stockings are extremely popular.

Black fishnet stockings and white or black tights are also common. Shoes or boots with high heels, think platforms rather than stilettos, complete the look.

Frilly, ruffled or lace-trimmed Victorian blouses are also popular especially with Elegant Goth Lolitas, who may also favour long skirts and jackets rather than the overtly ‘childish’ designs of the typical Gothloli.

Apart from occasionally short skirts, Lolita Goth designs are usually modest, sometimes with long lace-capped sleeves and/or high-necked blouses.
