>wa looks good about 1 % of the time asian or not

Honestly, it just is hard to pull off period. Alot of the dresses that incorporates wa tend to look like garbage too so that can't be helping.
Punk at least while it has an Ita magnet on it at least about 25% of coords are decent or look cool.
Honestly both are sides of lolita I do not recommend for newbies.

>With the old school resurgence do you think we will see more punk coords?
Maybe. Punk has always been up there with Ero in terms of being tough to pull off, due to both substyles having huge conflicts with the foundational lolita aethstetic. I can see some people giving it a go, but at least 8/10 will crash and burn.

>Where is the line drawn before ita trash and punk gold?
If you can find a way to reconcile the softness of lolita with the hardness of punk you've got a good start. A lot of punk coords look fucky because they lean too hard into one and the other gets lost. >>10085258 is a good example of the punk aspect getting lost in the lolita aethstetic, and >>10085259 is a good example of the lolita aspect getting lost in the punk aethstetic.

>>10085262 and >>10085265 ride the line of too much punk but come out on top because they still have the basic lolita aesthetic, though a more punk version of it.
