First Combine black and white. Gothic Lolita fashion is typically black, white, gray, and sometimes a burst of deep reds or purples.The combination of black and white is the foundation upon which Gothic dress style is based. Other colors are also often included. The element of pink is added due to the childlike “Lolita” aspect of the look, however, the main staples are black and white.Second Sport lace, trims, and ribbons!The Gothic Lolita look has a hyper girly aspect to it, so the lace, ribbons, trims and frills are always in full force. Petticoat and crinoline are often added to skirts, and stockings and over-knee socks are also popular.

In accentuating the gothic aspect of the look, many Gothlolis carry around crucifixes, bats, coffins, and other rather morbid items.
