/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Okay I'll take the bait I'll call it vintage fashion though there is more to vintage fashion than just 50s nostalgia.

>Vintage fashion is cookie cutter
While there is variety in the vintage fashion community, the two main looks are either circle skirt or wiggle skirt. There isn't a whole lot of wiggle room for experimentation or creativity. While individual styles of lolita may be subject to a cookie cutter look, the three main styles of lolita cover a lot of variety in cuts, length, fabrics, motifs and motifs.

>Vintage fashion is typically heavily sexualized
You see many people who wear vintage fashion are into pin ups and burlesque. The style is a lot more sexual than lolita, which not everyone is comfortable with. It is also way more sexualized by outsiders, because of the ties that the vintage fashion community has to burlesque. Lolita is a good deterrent of day to day sexualization. which not everyone is comfortable with.

>The vintage fashion community is very white.
Lolita being a fashion coming from Japan may make it more appealing to non-white people.
