Punk Lolita Style

About

Decora is an unrelated popular Japanese street fashion. It is characterized by excessive accessorizing and bright colors, namely pink. Some lolitas are of the opinion that decora lolita is not true lolita style, and that it is more like cosplay. What is undeniable, however, is that many younger girls frequently combine decora and lolita aspects to make their own looks. Some of the established lolita brands also market more to a younger audience and so will sometimes style their models this way.

The other lolita styles most like decora are sweet, pink, and red and they share many of the same base clothing articles.
