12. Combining other fashions with Lolita

I love lolita combined with other fashions so much. Gothic lolita with western goth influences, sweet lolita with fairy kei influences, classic lolita with otome influences, I love it all. Mixing styles (and doing it well) leads to really gorgeous, really unique coords.

Plenty of sweet lolitas take inspiration from decora and fairy kei already, especially with OTT coords, and otome inspired coords are on the rise as skirt hems drop, but what I would really love to see more when it comes to mixing styles is incorporating western alternative fashions. Although rare, punk lolita is already a subset of lolita fashion, but just imagine lolita with biker leather.

Or a cybergoth lolita wearing sparkly cyberlox, big chunky pink Demonia boots, and a clear plastic jsk over a colourful petti. Or a kandi kid lolita with fishnet sleeves under their blouse and kandi up to their elbows and cute chucks and their headbow and purse made of pony beads. Lolita is an incredibly versatile fashion that, with a bit of imagination, can be combined with just about any other alt fashion out there and it's so great :D
