A Trendy Black Tutu Is An Important Attribute Of The Gothloli Subculture

It goes without saying that a lot of people pay attention to the latest fashion trends

. Every season multiple designers create elegant, chic and trendy outfits to satisfy the tastes of modern fashionistas. Still, there are people who belong to certain subcultures and have to dress in accordance with special dress codes.

It is interesting to note that the Gothic Lolita (or Gothloli) subculture attracts more and more followers not only in Japan but also in Europe and America. A typical Gothloli follower wears an airy black tutu and a Victorian blouse combined with stilettos and white or black tights.

It is important to point out that the Gothloli subculture originated in the late nineties in Japan. The fashion was influenced by Visual Kei or "visual rock" bands that popularised elaborate costumes and showy make-up. It is worth mentioning that Mana, a Visual Kei performer coined the term "Elegant Gothic Lolita" or EGL which became very popular with followers.

It is necessary to add that in spite of the fact that the name Lolita refers to the name of Nabokov's book, the fashion is not overtly sexual. Furthermore, a typical EGL fan wearing a stylish black tutu and a dainty blouse presents herself as a Victorian child and prefers to look sweet rather than sexy.

It is vital to emphasise that Gothloli followers have a special dress code that makes them easy to notice. The most popular colours of clothing and accessories are black and white. Gothloli followers pay attention to frilly or lace-trimmed Victorian blouses and ruffle skirts.

It is necessary to mention that girls prefer to wear knee high skirts featuring crinolines and petticoats. That is why an elegant black tutu often becomes a good choice for Gothloli fashionistas. In order to complete the look young fashionistas choose boots and shoes featuring high heels. It is vital to add that over knee socks and stockings are very popular with followers of Gothic Lolita subculture.

In order to look like real Gothloli followers people should pay attention to special make up. It is essential to mention that black eyeliner is a must for creating smokey or neatly defined eyes. People should not forget that a pale complexion is a trademark of Gothlolis that is why white foundation may be a good option. In addition, fashionistas may choose red or black lipstick but usually Gothloli fans prefer natural make up.

It is impossible to imagine Gothloli followers without conspicuous accessories. First of all, black bags in various forms like bats and coffins are a necessity for Gothloli outfits. Furthermore, toys like teddy bears and other stuffed animals are common. It is interesting to note that some companies offer special teddy bears made from black leather or PVC. Today it is possible to meet a Gothloli fan wearing a fashionable black tutu and a bag with toys stuck on it.

In conclusion, it is necessary to note that various subcultures attract the attention of multiple fans and followers. Originated in the late nineties in Japan, Gothic Lolita has become popular in different countries. Gothloli followers have a special dress code that usually includes a trendy black tutu, an elegant Victorian blouse and a pair of stilettos. It is interesting to note that Gothloli fashion allows girls to attract attention of people around without being vulgar.
