Classic Lolita is the most disciplined of all the Lolita styles. Many Classic dresses could pass for a garden party, church or summer dress. Unlike Sweet Lolita that is about looking cute, Classic Lolita is about looking refined, and pulls back to Lolita fashion's roots in Victorian fashion, being influenced from the floral patterns, and the feel of delicacy of that generation.
Bold colours aren't normally found in Classic Lolita clothing, mostly muted colours such as pink and blue, or richer jewel tones. Most dressed are usually with floral prints or solid colours.
Unlike the other styles of Lolita, many Classic Lolita skirts have an A-line shape instead of the normal bell and cupcake shaped skirt. The length of the skirt can be slightly longer than the standard knee-length and sometimes even calf-length. Socks are rarely worn with this style; it is considered too 'child-like'.
Accessories for this style are very simple, although fancy hats and bonnets can be worn. Shoes are more sophisticated with this style, unlike Sweet Lolita and is much more mature.
Like the most Lolita styles, light and natural makeup is suggested but depending on your outfit and occasion, darker makeup that is still able to create a soft look can be appropriate. Hair is usually kept in natural colours (sometimes no wigs or brightly coloured hair).
A few patterns you will mostly see in Classic Lolita are floral prints, or anything related to nature.
Some brands of this style include:
Mary Magdelene (also called MM)
Victorian Maiden (or VM)
Juliette et Justine (also JetJ or J&J)
Innocent World (also known as IW)
