Lolita is a fashion trend similar to Harajuku and cosplay. The Lolita style is mimicked and enhanced after the French 'Lolita' fashions. Maybe you don't know; a lot of Japanese like French culture.
Lolita is the most popular among Japan's younger generation girls. Some of these girls give the style a 'gothic' flare, while others add in a sense of Harajuku. (Harajuku will be covered in another week!)
Lolita girls all follow a similar hairstyle; above is an example. The makeup includes vibrant eyelashes brushed with mascara, a cute glow of blush, and nude lips. Hair accessories are a must have in Japan's popculture fashion, which include numorous variations of bows and ribbons, clips, and hair colors.
This trend can be seen in just about every Japanese city ... not just Tokyo and Harajuku street! Japan produces these adorable Lolita dresses in various prints and styles. The rest of the Lolita style is up to the Lolita girl ! (“⌒∇⌒”)
Here is an example of the frilly, classic Lolita style dresses popular in Japan.
Here is an example of a punk/gothic style Lolita dress line in Japan.
These last 4 pictures are examples of Anime girls in Lolita style. It is quite popular in the Japanese and anime girls alike, and Lolita is so diverse in a sense because of that. Since some anime girls are styled after Lolita, anyone wanting to dress up in a cosplay like that anime would be wearing Lolita! Please try not to be confused by what I just said (*≧▽≦)
Lolita fashion is similar to Harajuku and cosplay, as they all tie in together in some ways. I shall cover other Japanese popculture styles in a later week!
