2 Coords: Striped Socks, Sweet Tartan

How to Dress in Old School Lolita ∣ Pt.1

This blog post is hopefully going to be a comprehensive guide to how to most accurately and authentically dress in old school lolita. It's all tips and tidbits that I've picked up myself over the years of wearing and admiring old school, mostly just from observing things in photos. Perhaps you will find these points helpful, or perhaps you'd prefer to ignore it and just do your own thing~! I thought I might give some tips that I feel might help you wear the style in as authentically of-the-time a way as possible, and bring light to possibly forgotten features, without being too prescriptive.

Coord: Black Socks

This is a coord I wore the other day to hang out with my friend Joshua and catch up. We had some tea at a cafe and then headed to a arts & crafts/vintage market. Then afterwards I got some coord photos. On the way to the market I noticed this graffiti'd phone box, and since I wanted to get photos in a juxtaposed environment in this coord, it worked out perfectly.
