Popular style
Sweet: Sweet Lolita, as the name suggests, belongs to the sweetest genre of clothing design in all lolita categories. Most of the fabrics of Sweet-style dresses are mainly pink, pink, blue or white. In addition, in order to create a cute and sweet, innocent atmosphere like a doll, Sweet dresses usually use more lace and cloth folds on clothing than other factions. In recent years, probably because of the often copied patterns and designs, various Sweet-series dress brands have abandoned monochrome fabrics and used a variety of printed fabrics printed with candies, cakes, small animals or describing a fairy tale scene (because the pattern is special and difficult to imitate, this kind of fabric is often a single store without a branch, so it is quite preventable).
Classical: As the name suggests, the Classical Lolita dress is the most elegant of all the Lolita dresses. Although the cloth selected for the Classical Lolita dress also likes to be based on solid colors, the solid color materials it uses must have a plain and decent and non-dazzling tone. In addition to the four basic colors of white, black, pink and blue, a variety of beautiful floral fabrics are also the favorite choice for Classic dress fabrics. Classical Lolita dresses are basically replaced with the same texture of the cloth folds as the clothes to replace the lace.
All in all, the classical Lolita dress is characterized by "simplicity but not simplicity". Due to the simple and elegant style, the Classical Lolita dress is more suitable for daily wear than other Lolita dresses, and it is more easily accepted by parents and the public.
Gothic：
Gothic Lolita is completely different from pure Gothic. Gothic Lolita borrows only some stylistic elements of Goth clothing. Almost 97% of the Gothic Lolita dresses only use black and white monochrome fabrics, and cute colors such as pink and tender yellow are completely isolated from this series. In addition, the Gothic Lolita dress is also the most commonly used cortical style of all categories of Lolita dresses.
Zhonghua style lolita: In simple terms, it is a dress style that combines Chinese style elements with lolita dress. The more common Chinese style lo skirt is the qipao element, and the combination point of the dress is mainly the qipao upper body version and the A-line skirt, and adds the details of the elements such as buckle, tassel, embroidery, etc., so foreign countries will also name this style skirt Qi Lolita.
The boom of Chinese style lolita has attracted more and more attention and recognition from lolita lovers across the country and even internationally.
