Wa/Qi Lolita

    Wa Lolita is taken from traditional Japanese clothing, commonly the Yukata or Kimono. Wa Lolita (and also Qi Lolita) aren't seen very often, and seem to look like cosplay if done wrongly. 


    Qi Lolita is also very similar to Wa Lolita, except that it's based on Chinese traditional clothing.


    Wa Lolita is usually seen with a shorter version of a Yukata, but with a few frills and still maintains it's skirts shape usually with the help of petticoats.


    Traditional fabrics can be very extravagant and will look lovely, but fabric with traditional-inspired prints are also fine and can be used. Very shiny fabrics like silk are often unused, as they will make the outfit look cheap and will not really be considered as Lolita. 
    Traditional shoes such as 'Geta' may be worn, but it is more common to see Lolita shoes worn instead.


    Traditional Japanese hairclips will look so beautiful with this hairstyle. As for makeup, it is best worn light and natural as always. Geisha-inspired makeup shouldn't be worn too much, as it will look a bit too costumey and will ruin the look of this beautiful style.
    Paper fans and parasols can be held with to compliment this style.
