What makes a sailor lolita dress
The defining feature is the sailor collar: a square flap at the back, usually trimmed with stripes and finished with a tie or bow at the front. Around it, sailor lolita dresses use marine motifs such as anchors, ships, ropes, shells and lighthouses. Navy and white are the classic colours, with red, sax blue or pink as accents.
Sailor is less a separate style than a theme that crosses all of them: there are sweet sailor dresses in pink and sax, classic ones in navy, and even gothic versions in black.
Easy to wear
A sailor OP needs no blouse, and the collar gives a finished look on its own. It is a good first lolita dress for summer, and easy to dress down without a petticoat for a casual outing.
Colour combinations to look for
- Navy with white collar: the traditional look; also see navy lolita dresses.
