But you could save by mixing your major brand pieces with those from other brands. This is because smaller brands still sell quality, well made items and that retains its value. These coordinates are still equivalent to a brand new JSK from a major lolita brand. What you need to remember when shopping with other Japanese brands is that it won’t always mean the entire outfit will be cheaper.
The total cost of this coordinate is 33,106 JPY. The JSK is from Chantilly, the blouse and ring are from Black Peace Now, the tights are from abilletage, the boots are from Miho Matsuda, the canotier is from Morun x Muuna Stoik, the bag is from Jesus Diamante, and the corset belt is from Ozz On. You will find plenty of gothic and visual-kei brands on Wunderwelt. My rendition tried to squeeze as many colours in as possible, which I think I achieved without losing colour balance. You could easily play up the pies and tarts theme to super OTT sweet levels, but also wear this JSK more casually as a sundress. This gingham outfit is wonderfully summery and the print offers plenty of colours to coordinate with. This makes it perfect for sweet lolita, even if it’s usually other than your typical pastel type. * May 5th, availability at the time of publishing not guaranteedĪs more of an otome brand, Emily Temple Cute has a bright, colourful and often quirky look.
Moreover, each item has to be available for purchase at the time of my search.* Lastly, to exemplify my point as best as possible, there will be one coordinate for each main substyle of lolita fashion: sweet, classic, and gothic. Despite using otome brands etc., the JSK has to indisputably conform to the lolita fashion guidelines on length and silhouette. Each coordinate will include the following items: JSK, blouse or cutsew, headwear, legwear, shoes, bag, and 2 accessories. Each item has to be from a brand other than the major lolita ones and the coordinate has to be good enough to wear it to a meetup without shame. Just like in the original version, the goal is to create a complete and cohesive lolita outfit as cheaply as possible. Just think of how much more unique your outfit could be by shopping this way! But I believe that with enough time spent on researching this fashion, it is perfectly possible to achieve. And it’s true that shopping like this will require a slightly better understanding of loita fashion. Many newcomers to the fashion overlook these, either due to lack of familiarity or lack of experience with what is lolita enough. How come? Simply because they were from other lolita brands or from brands that predominantly focus on other fashions such as otome. When window shopping for those all-brand coordinates I found enough cute clothes that still fit the lolita silhouette that were much cheaper.
But can you do it using other brands? Let’s find out! However, we all know that you can make a lolita coordinate using items from major lolita brands. This was mainly to show that if you are not particularly picky, you can unlock some great bargains shopping second hand. Almost three weeks ago now I published a post on my own blog showing examples of complete all-brand coordinates that you could get from websites like Wunderwelt.
