Gothic lolita is a fashion style that originated in the late 1990s in the Harajuku district of Tokyo and combines aspects of the lolita and gothic fashion styles. The basic gothic lolita fashion style generally uses dark-coloured dresses with inflated knee-length skirts usually in a cupcake shape, plenty of ribbons and lace, Mary Jane shoes, and usually an umbrella or parasol, all influenced by Victorian era fashion and aiming to give a darkly elegant look. Despite the name, the lolita and gothic lolita fashion styles are not limited to young girls.
