What is the difference between authentic lolita and knockoffs? What should you pay attention to when wearing lolita?

I believe that many newbies will make mistakes when they enter the lolita world. As an original style of clothing, lolita can be divided into genuine and fake styles. Wearing fake skirts is a taboo in the lolita circle. So how can lolita distinguish genuine styles?

In fact, there is a big difference between genuine and knockoff products, both in appearance and quality. The fabrics and materials of genuine Lolita clothing are in line with the theme of the clothing. It is precisely because the store uses high-quality materials and the craftsmanship is more complex and refined that the exquisiteness of Lolita clothing can be presented. The knockoff version is just made according to the appearance of the genuine product, and the quality is not taken into consideration at all, so the price will be much cheaper. The effects of wearing the two types of clothing are completely different.

There are many ways to distinguish genuine lolita clothes from fake ones. The simplest one is to see whether the patterns on the Lolita clothes are clear. This is the first method we will talk about in this issue. Generally speaking, the patterns on genuine lolita clothes are very clear, while the patterns on fake ones are mostly blurred.

The second method is to judge based on the fabric. Authentic Lolita dresses are basically made of high-quality materials, so the fabric does not reflect light or wrinkle, and the effect of wearing it is very good. The fabrics used by knockoffs are relatively ordinary, because of the low cost, so the wearing effect will not be too good, and may even be seriously wrinkled.

The third method is to judge based on the store details. Most authentic lolita stores will have very detailed introductions, especially for the display of details. The more detailed ones will also include various detailed descriptions and inspiration sources, etc. Some lolita girls said that they can also judge whether the clothing is fake or genuine by the price of the goods. Generally, the cost of genuine products is higher, so the price will also be higher. Most lolita clothes under 100 yuan are fake. But it should be noted that this statement is not a "dead" statement, because high prices are not necessarily authentic, and relatively cheap prices are not necessarily fake, because there are many genuine and original domestic brands, and there are also small skirts with full prices of two or three hundred yuan.

In addition to the above methods, there are some other tips to distinguish Shanzheng, such as product name, store products, seller show picture background, etc.

First point: Shanzheng copyright issue

This is the most important point and the most important issue to be noted. A Lolita skirt often contains the hard work of the artist and the store owner, and the fake store can easily steal the design and make a profit. So generally speaking, we need to pay attention to the authenticity of Lolita when buying and wearing it. If you go out wearing a fake little skirt, it may cause some bad "discussion". Since you want to go out happily wearing a little skirt, it is best to avoid these unnecessary problems~ Refuse to wear fake ones and protect the genuine ones.

Second point: not considering the feelings of passers-by

Sometimes, wearing some more gorgeous Lolita clothes requires matching with corresponding crinolines. The crinolines certainly enhance the beauty of the small skirt, but at the same time, they also increase the trouble. When wearing Lolita clothes in some public places, such as subways and stations, you need to consider the feelings of passers-by, do not let the crinolines occupy seats and affect passers-by's travel, and pay attention to politeness.

Third point: Wearing Lolita clothing in inappropriate occasions

This is also very important. Although it is your personal freedom to wear whatever you want, you still need to pay attention to the occasion and wear the right clothes for the right occasion. For example, in formal occasions such as funerals and weddings, it is best not to wear a Lolita skirt to avoid causing discomfort and disgust to others.

The fourth point: "Vulgar lolita girls" who don't pay attention to their image and posture management. It is worth mentioning that this taboo is not that lolita girls are "pretending" or having a "princess syndrome". It's just that since you wear a beautiful little skirt to go out and play beautifully, your personal manners should at least keep up with your clothes. Pay attention to your personal words and deeds, and don't make certain indecent moves. Otherwise, it's easy to become like some "vulgar" lolita girls and ruin the goodwill of passers-by.

No. 5: Feeling too good about yourself

They think that wearing Lolita clothes makes them like princesses, and they think highly of themselves and look down on others. This will also leave a bad impression on passers-by. In fact, no matter how beautiful Lolita is, it is essentially just a kind of clothes, a style of dressing, and there is no distinction between high and low. Wearing Lolita clothes does not mean nobility, but only represents personal dressing style and dressing preference.

Point 6: Comparison and showing off

The mentality of comparison and showing off is not desirable. Some girls who wear Japanese brands look down on girls who wear domestic brands, so a kind of contempt chain is inexplicably formed. But the same thing is that clothes should not be divided into high and low, nor are they divided into high and low, let alone Japanese and domestic brands. Japanese and domestic brands each have their own characteristics and advantages and disadvantages. It’s okay to like one, but you shouldn’t despise or look down on the other.

Point 7: Level 10 Lolita girl, too nosy

Level 10 lolita girls are actually a rather sarcastic "joke" for some lolita girls who are too controlling. Level 10 lolita girls will jump out to "correct and educate" lolita girls on the street when they see them not wearing full lolita clothes, no makeup, and no leather shoes, which is easy to make people disgusted. There are no specific requirements for wearing lolita clothes, so don't impose requirements on others. Lolita is free to match and is unique, and does not need to be constrained by a framework.

In fact, there are not too many strict requirements for wearing Lolita clothing, so newbies don't need to be too afraid. As long as you don't wear knockoffs, don't affect others, wear it in appropriate occasions, and pay attention to your words and actions, there will basically be no big problems. Girls don't need to care too much about other people's eyes and comments. After all, it is a personal freedom to wear whatever clothes are appropriate under reasonable circumstances.

There are some comments about the weird rules, saying that you can wear authentic Lolita without makeup. Whether you are willing to wear makeup when going out is your own business. After all, makeup is a matter of personal preference. If I want to use makeup to beautify my face, then I can choose to wear makeup. Nowadays, girls who wear Lolita are relatively young. If they want to wear makeup, they can choose to wear makeup. If they don’t want to wear makeup, there is actually no need to force yourself to adapt to any so-called rules. After all, wearing little skirts is just your life.

Then we have to talk about the rules that when wearing jsk, you must wear an inner layer, you cannot wear it naked, you must wear lolita shoes when wearing a lolita skirt, you must wear a full set, etc. I am curious, do you know what Lolita is? Do you know what the earliest full set of Lolita looks like? Lolita is just an ordinary clothing culture! Just like our Mori girl style, or dress, or whatever, they are all clothing, and as a clothing, it has its own cultural foundation.

You can choose to promote and comply with it at the right time, and you also have the right to mix and match or improve it. You should know that many girls who like Lolita now like sweet styles, but the earliest sweet styles are probably unacceptable to many people, and they even match them with Harajuku style "hardware". Because Lolita was actually popular in Harajuku, Japan at the beginning, so Lolita at that time was influenced by some Harajuku culture.

If wearing Lolita skirts really needs to be set, I think that if you like it, you just need to take it seriously. We just need to not belittle or elevate it. Any clothing culture is equal, and this is the real "rule". Everyone's personality and style deserve respect. You can't treat her differently just because she is a minority. Let's be a Buddhist loli girl together!
