Maybe you\u2019ve already got a Lolita collection in your closet, or you&#8217;ve had your eyes on Lolita influencers on Instagram and want to give it a try yourself. There are dozens of subgenres of Lolita we could introduce you to \u00a0(a few of them could be found on one of our <strong><u><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.fromjapan.co.jp\/en\/japanese-culture\/what-is-lolita-fashion-a-guide-for-beginners.html?utm_source=BlogEn&amp;utm_medium=BlogEn_post&amp;utm_campaign=BlogEn_post_221222CasualLolitaOldBlog_en&amp;utm_term=221222CasualLolitaOldBlog_en#argument=mSgXHiXn&amp;ai=a63a3d74e63be4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">previous blog posts<\/a><\/u><\/strong>), but today, we\u2019d like to speak out to those who are looking for a more casual style of Lolita.<\/p>\n<p>What makes <strong>Casual Lolita<\/strong> interesting is that it isn\u2019t a strictly defined subgenre. It\u2019s basically what it sounds \u2013 Lolita fashion that is more toned-down, more simplistic, and more practical for everyday wear. Casual Lolita can be a fun way to add small touches of your style to your wardrobe without being constrained by huge, expensive matching pieces. It doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not\u00a0 expressive just because it&#8217;s \u201ctoned-down\u201d!<\/p>\n<h2>How do I dress in Casual Lolita?<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.fromjapan.co.jp\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/blog-lolita-2.png\" alt=\"DearMyLove Casual Lolita Japan Brand\" width=\"700\" height=\"350\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a few pieces of advice to get started with Casual Lolita. Remember that Lolita as a fashion style started as a form of going against the grain, so don\u2019t forget to be free and experiment to see what you love the best!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Stick to one or two-piece outfits<\/strong>: Some of the essentials of the most famous styles of Lolita such as sweet lolita or gothic lolita tend to be outfits that require several pieces to be put together. Casual lolita is about expressing your love for the style in an easier, looser way, so find one or two-piece outfits that are simpler and easier to put on.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid puffy petticoats<\/strong>: Though frills and ruffles might look nice, the typical petticoat you can see in lots of Lolita styles could be hard to wear sometimes. Plus, you\u2019ll have to find other pieces to complete your petticoat which defeats the purpose of going for a casual style.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be smart with accessories<\/strong>: Things like hair bows and ribbons are an easy choice to accessorize your Casual Lolita outfit. You can also add bits of jewelry and ruffled stockings (like in the image above). We want to avoid adding too many accessories \u2013 so start by testing out a few pieces that\u2019ll match your whole outfit together!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1 style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\">Where can I get Casual Lolita clothing if I\u2019m not in Japan?<\/h1>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.fromjapan.co.jp\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/blog-lolita-3.png\" alt=\"DearMyLove Casual Lolita Japan Brand\" width=\"700\" height=\"350\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Luckily, nowadays you don\u2019t have to fly to Japan to get Lolita pieces.
