Casual Lolita has to be my favorite substyle of Lolita by far as a lifestyle lolita it allows me to get the most wear out of my pieces I have spent so much money on over the years. I am a big proponent of cost per wear and for my personal lolita fashion experience I think it is a shame that some dresses may languish in my closet because I am not able to adapt them to a more casual wear. So the majority of my closet is able to be converted into more casual outfits that allow me to wear them around the house or to work. I think it’s sad that I don’t see casual lolita on the web as often as it used to be, but with the pandemic I actually think I have seen a bit of a comeback of this style seeing OTT coords swapped out for more simple and elegant coords that are easier to wear with more natural makeup and natural hair.
The more simple elegant coords that have been a trend that I really enjoy. OTT lolita will always have a place in my heart with OTT sweet being in the height of it’s popularity when I was first introduced to lolita fashion, however for me as I progress in my career into a corporate job and with student debt not being able to invest in a separate work wardrobe at this time it’s nice seeing inspiration for coords that can be passed as business formal.
Here are some of my favorite coords I found from peeps on Instagram! Go check out their feeds
