Now that we have some vocabulary, know some facts about Lolita fashion and know it's why's and because's, what makes a basic Lolita outfit? Well, you'll read it here.

Underwear
Don't worry, there are not specific panties and bras for Lolita. Yet. Lolita underwear is, well, what you wear underneath and what you gotta put on first. Let's move on!
Bloomers
This isn't really necessary, but I would recommend it to you. Bloomers aren't really substiting panties, at all; you actually wear them after your panties. Then, what are they for? They are for protecting you from exposing your underwear. Just imagine; you're walking relaxedly through the street, when a strong wind comes and TACHAAA!!!! It pulls up your dress and petticoat exposing your nice but intimate panties! Embarassing and totally not proper. Well, that's what panties are for. They also give an extra puff.
Petticoat
Really obvious, isn't it? The petticoat is for giving shape to the dress and make it puffy. Depending on your dress and preferences, you will use determined shapes, cuts and lengths.

Blouse
Well, you know what blouses are, right?

Outerwear
Well, you know what a JSK, an OP and a salopette is now. You may use wichever you want.
NOTE: If you're gonna use an OP, do not use a blouse. If you're gonna use a JSK or a salopette, you must use it.

Footwear
We have a nice variety here. Some platform Mary Janes seem perfect for this fashion; but you may also use them without platform or use some tea party shoes. It all depends on your coord and preferences.
Socks are also important. You may use high tights or ankle ruffled socks in case it's too hot. High tights are better with a nice or matching print.

In case you want to.

Headress
Oh, here the variety is real. But on another part I'll show them all. An alice headbow is really basic and easy to coordinate.

Accessories
Neclaces, chokers, bracelets, wrist cuffs... you may go crazy here! Of course, with moderation. I won't put any images here because I'm getting to my limit... but I'll tell you what accessories should you use for Lolita.
- pastels. In case of sweet loli, of course.
- Ruffles and/or bows. If possible.
- Lace. Again, if possible.
- If you're using sweet, you may use plastic jewelery, as Angelic Pretty's jewelery.
- Accessories don't have to be bought on a Lolita shop (they may be expensive). You may order them on eBay, Forever 21, or even on the garage sale your neighbor's doing! You never know what you will find!

Seriously, don't use this
Arm and leg warmers don't warm you up; you got no excuse to use them. They'll make your coord look like a cosplay, you'll look bad and probabbly you'll be seen as an ita by other lolitas, if you aren't one. Seriously, eyes hurt. The ita thing will be explained on next part. BTW, thanks for reading!
