Lolita

Lolita is a street fashion that started in Japan in the 1980's and is largely inspired by the Rococo and Victorian time periods. Lolita fashion focuses on modesty and good quality materials. The term "lolita" refers to the childlike appearance of the clothing, and is used for the cuteness of the name itself. Lolita fashion is not at all meant to be sexy and is instead meant to be cute or elegant. Despite the child-like nature of Lolitas, anybody of any age can wear this style.

There are many different Lolita styles, including:


 * Aristocrat - Mature style
 * Casual Lolita - Toned down version of classic style
 * Classic Lolita - Classy look, most generic
 * Country Lolita - Prarie or farm girl lookMadam_Morbid_Photoshoot_Bemidji_MN_Gothic_Lolita_(3).jpg
