Me, as much as I'd love to try it out, I can't really think of a situation that would be suitable for such attire. I'm not really much into the social scene, I'm mostly a home body who more or less takes rides and walks through various towns. Not really into clubbing, or parties where such garments might be appropriate (depending on the nature of the club/party). I wouldn't dare take them into the woods with all the brambles and mud holes I get myself into. As far as the more public arena, it's mostly just me doing my daily routine, grocery shopping, pumping gas, paying bills, etc.crfriend wrote:Gothic Lolita is interesting, but I have to wonder whether it'd really do at work, and that's the environment where I spend much of my time. I know that some folks here regard some of my looks "forced" -- and, yes, some are a bit -- but lolita takes "forced" to another level altogether. I'd say it's fine for cosplay, but don't really think it'd work in the day-to-day "real world". (I also think that lolita would look utterly naff on a bloke already into his second half-century on the planet. Younger guys might well be able to pull it off in some situations, though. i cannot, at least not without much laughter from those around me.)
It would be another classic case of "all dressed up and nowhere to go".
Also as I google images of Gothic Lolita... I see a number of red flags for me.... of course the attention given to the bust area for boobs I don't have, and lest we forget 80% of the models pictured are Asian.... and we all know what that means..... teacup sized waist.
