The Chinese elements in Lolita clothing
Chinese fashion and dressing style are amongst the
most vibrant. The bright colors, the vivid patterns are not only popular in
culture, but they also represent the culture of the land.
Besides, the Chinese dressing sense is more than
just a style statement. The essence of Chinese fashion has always been derived
from the country’s evolution. From the dragon-clad robes to hanfu, the clothing
styles have constantly reflected the traditions, beliefs, and social
status.
Features of Chinese clothing
Now we know, Chinese
clothing is reliant on the culture and traditions. The aesthetic component
of their clothing comes from vibrant colors and patterns. In addition to that,
the cultural connotations have always been a stand-out feature.
The quality of these
fabrics was of the highest order. As lustrous as these fabrics flaunted, their
durability was exceptional too. Nowadays, hemp and synthetic fibers, too, are
used at scale. The cost-effectiveness of these fabrics is a major advantage.
Meanwhile, the styles of
Chinese fashion are evolving at a noticeable pace. The tunic suit is an
evergreen attire for the Chinese. Though it is meant for the male audience, the
volume of female users is increasing by the day.
Likewise, Hanfu has held
its grandeur over the years. The traditional Hanfu was growing irrelevant,
almost turning into a collectible for enthusiasts. However, with an evident
western influence, modern hanfu has been a revelation in Chinese fashion.
Colors and Patterns
As we talk about colors,
diversity is unrivaled. From the bright red to the elegant black, Chinese fashion and its love for
color are well-known. They are also very specific in matching their colors to
the seasons.
Traditionally, red is
considered auspicious and is often worn during events and festivals. Green has
always inspired growth and, likewise, worn during the spring season. During the
cold winter, dark clothing, and especially black, can be observed. Altogether,
the unique Chinese system of matching colors and their contrasts is a treat to
watch.
To go with the vibrant
colors, the Chinese love bold patterns in their clothing. Be it the majestical
dragon or butterflies, every pattern elevated the attire to look grand yet
being comfortable for the individual.
Also, water lily and peony
are a must-have floral pattern in Chinese fashion. Floral patterns are a
significant feature of Chinese culture. Patterns in China are also attached to
prosperity, wealth, and other beliefs.
Features of Lolita Clothing
Lolita is a popular
dressing trend with its roots in the Victorian and Rococo styles. Keeping up
with the latest trends and changes, Lolita fashion has evolved over the years. Despite the
evolution, its core element of youthful and doll-like look has not changed, and
rightly so.
A subculture in Japan,
Lolita clothing helps ladies flaunt cute yet dignified looks. If you think doll-like
and ladies cannot go together, then you must try Lolita fashion to embrace the
truth.
Contrary to the usual
belief, a formal Lolita dress can be a go-to outfit for formal events. This
unique fashion started a streetwear trend, growing into a popular global theme.
With many styles under its umbrella, Lolita clothing is as aesthetic as it
gets.
The basis of Lolita fashion is a skirt and a blouse. Seems common, right? Wait, the uniqueness is with the style of the skirt. Lolita style skirts are bell-shaped. Similarly, the blouses are puffy-round. This is the most basic template for Lolita clothing. There are numerous styles of Lolita clothing.
The major Lolita
types are
·
Gothic Lolita
·
Classic Lolita
·
Aristocratic Lolita
·
Sweet Lolita
Nice cotton is the most preferred fabric for Lolita
clothing. Certain Lolita types use high-quality velvet and microsuede. For
colors, Lolita is as diverse as it gets. While colors are often dependent on
the Lolita types, plain colors with a floral pattern are always a no-brainer.
For Gothic Lolita, dark colors are a norm.
The Chinese elements in
Lolita clothing
The presence of Lolita
clothing in China has grown exponentially. This can be attributed to certain
local elements that have helped the Lolita fashion connect with the Chinese at
an individual level.
At present, more and more
Lolita dresses are featuring Chinese design elements, and for all the right
reasons. We at Lolitain have taken this integration to another level by
featuring a mix of Lolita dresses that have Chinese influences.
Let's get a comprehensive
insight into how Chinese characteristics integrate with Lolita Clothing.
Focusing on the Design
The traditional Chinese clothing is usually straight cut and loose fit. For instance, these Lolita dresses feature a pleated skirt, much like what Hanfu clothing exhibits. Much of the emphasis is on making it comfortable for the individuals, and understandably so.
Another feature of this profound integration is
observed in the long sleeves of Lolita clothing, which are identical to the
traditional Chinese gowns. For instance, the Gothic Lolita Black Long
Sleeve Dress below is an example of Gothic Lolita with a touch
of Mongolian and Manchu gown design thanks to the high-collars, relatively
longer sleeves, and extended gown length.In addition, it also uses Chinese
traditional cross stitch.
This brings us to the idea of the Aristocratic
Lolita clothing, which bears resemblance to the popular Chinese dresses of
Cheongsam. Also known as Qipao, these clothes are more compact. It was popular
among the upper-class Chinese women as it gave a dignified look.
Stressing the Patterns
The diversity in Chinese fashion and Lolita
clothing is remarkable and similar. Symbols like a dragon, lions, cranes are a
common sight on Lolita clothing. Though the symbolic attachment to social
status has reduced, the symbols are still an eminent feature in Chinese
culture.
For example, this dress bears a skirt that has been
developed owing to what Lolita fashion prefers. At the same time, it features
Bamboo and Dragon Soul patterns, much for the joy of Chinese people. This is
precisely how dresses at Lolitain bring out
the essence of the combination of two distinct fashion types.
Another example of fine integration is given by
this Palace Style Pink Flower
Embroidery Lolita Prom Dress that uses symbols to a great effect. What you
see is a traditional prom style Lolita turning into a go-to outfit for modern
Chinese women. This is made possible through the employment of floral art for
this particular dress. In addition, the flowers on the skirt also use Chinese
embroidery, which makes it more elegant and elegant.Overall, many Chinese favoured patterns, including
butterflies, are used, which work wonders in elevating a woman's looks.
Here's a tip: For light and formal colour, Aristocratic and Sweet Lolita are the saviour of
all. While for the darker shades, Gothic Lolita is a no-brainer. The classic
and sweet Lolita cater to diverse audiences, as their clothing style comes in
all colour, one can imagine.
Great clothes.
