The youngest Lolita I’ve met was eleven and the oldest Lolita I’ve met was in her mid-fifties so there’s really no right age range.įor more information, please see my age tag. Older Lolitas may have problems with finding time to wear Lolita because of a dress code at work but there are ways to deal with that as well. Very young Lolitas (11, 12, 13, that age area) will have some problems because you may be too young for a job and have problems getting the money for Lolita and you may also still be growing so you might end up outgrowing your things but there are ways to deal with things like this. Q: Am I too young/old to be a Lolita? Is there a certain age you have to be?Ī: You’re never to young or old for Lolita. Lolita is a fashion, a form of self expression, and something that is worn for the purpose of being yourself. A costume is something a person wears to look like someone or something else, to no longer be themselves. Lolita is not a costume, it is a fashion and for many Lolitas, a lifestyle.

Lolita also has nothing to do with the sexual connotation the word has gotten due to the novel written by Vladimir Nabokov and the fashion has nothing at all to do with the novel.

It is actually very common for anime artists to get the wrong idea about Lolita because they do very little research on it and end up portraying it very poorly. Lolita is NOT a costume or cosplay and has very little to do with anime in general. Lolitas are often told that they look like dolls or Alice in Wonderland as the style draws much inspiration of aesthetic from historical childrens clothing. Lolita is easily recognized by it’s modest look which features a dress or skirt (usually around knee-length) that has a very distinctive bell-shaped (or sometimes A-line although it isn’t nearly as common) silhouette.

A: Lolita is a Japanese fashion that revolves around a very feminine look that is often very cute and elegant.
