Thoughts on Lolita fashion? Would you date or befriend someone who likes it?

I dislike the name "Lolita" fashion, as it is a subtle attempt to capitalize on, and perhaps even normalize, the phenomenon of relationships between adult men and pubescent girls.

[LittleOreoGirl]

It’s the style name but it’s nothing in relation to the book

[OlderAndWiser]

No honest person believes that.

If that's what I think it is, I think there's a spectrum of it looking good and as you go to the other side, it becomes exaggerated to a point where it's creepy and makes me think she's got some kind of mental problem.

[LittleOreoGirl]

How much is too much? Like too many decorations or?

Because Lolita fashion can range from more casual to more extreme cords depending on style and occasion

It's not bad, but can blend if it is just repetitive layering pattern (gothitelle from pokemon, which is based on the style, is a great example of bland repetitive layering). But the style does have it's variants, like the pastel, and white-primary. I honestly like the vampiric version of the style, the spider-web and bat-wing lace with the velvet blood red, purples and blacks give such a good feel to it.

Mainly a Japan thing no? don't think that I would mind it, most men don't care about fashion.

[bowenw]

I don't mind it and it would not stop me from dating someone who wears it.

[andy530]

I think it’s cute and would consider dating someone who is into it

[TallAnon]

Yeah, I like it.
I've got friends who dress like that, yes.

[slatyb]

I would, but I'm a bit old for that.

[DrPepper12]

Not familiar but idc. She can dress how she likes

[ChiTown33]

I have no idea what that is.

[dudegreat91]

Can you explain what it is?

[LittleOreoGirl]

It’s a alt style that originated from Japan typically featuring a line or bell shaped skirts, modest cuts, cute prints, frills, lace, and bows-like doll like fashion

[dudegreat91]

Okay I will look into it

[shortster]

Not sure, do you have an example of it?

[LittleOreoGirl]

I can’t insert photos at this moment but basically Lolita is an alt style that originated from Japan typically featuring a line or bell shaped skirts, modest cuts, cute prints, frills, lace, and bows-like doll like fashion. Searching “Lolita fashion” and adding the key words “classic” “sweet” “goth” “hime” “casual” etc will give good examples of common styles

[Bklynbadboy12]

I don't know what that is
