#also because frilly shorts rock and should be worn more

[abluehappyface]

And now it's my turn to complete the set of "Barbieland meets cotton candy colors" clothing designs 😎. No, that is not a skirt, but a pair of frilly shorts! Tried to go as gender neutral as possible, and I came up with this. I personally love this! I don't know if I would wear it, but it's definitely a vibe

Since Daniel wears makeup sometimes, does Terry ever want or wish he’d wear more feminine clothing? He really seems to enjoy Daniel in lingerie—and there was the way he had the boy dress on his wedding night in that sexy little number. Does Terry feminize him to an extent?  Does Daniel feminize himself? Since he is submissive to Terry, and pretty much turns to putty in his hands despite the sass and flirty nature of his personality.

That's what makes omegaverse so interesting to me, Nonnie. Is there a link between femaleness and submissiveness? Republicans would love us to believe there "naturally" should be, because that makes it easy to penalise women who don't want to do what people tell them to do! They, men, are not trying to force people to do stuff, no, a woman who doesn't obey is unnatural. You should all want to follow and do as you're told! Conveniently that belief grants more power to men without them having done anything to earn it. So no, I don't think that because Daniel chooses to be submissive towards Terry, that this means Daniel should present like a gender he isn't. Also to gender dresses is kind of modern. Romans wore tunics all the time. Who is to say that this lingerie isn't partly frilly see through little shorts, tops, straps and sock garters? Suggestively draped ties? No, Daniel likes playing with gender and gosh he may have worn a skirt and thigh highs at some point but he's a young man. Terry is very into boys, though he does appreciate the sheer beauty of some women. But no, he mated a gorgeous boy and he's married to a beautiful man who can rock his eyeliner if he wants.

After a long brake from this saga, it returns for her birthday! However, I should start this by saying the obvious fact that I don't like they way Nami and women in general are drawn, I really wish the mangaka had a middle ground between the 'If I sneeze I'll snap in half sexy girls' and the 'i will crush you in my fat rolls ugly girls' types but here we are and this is what we've got. As a result, most of my connects would usual be how I wish she her skirts would be longer n such but I'm not gonna do that because I don't want it to get in the way of the actual content in the post. Let's go: NAMI!!

'First appearance': it's not the first at all, idk what to call it tho, it's her 3rd. it's just the one in We are so technically counts. It's probably the nostalgia, but I love this look. I can't place why but I'm not even mad at the weird stripe lengths design, it's just cute to me. The sleeves are short but long enough to hide her tattoo and I adore her skirt too like the dark orange parts remind me of blood oranges!

Baratie, Loguetown, Little Garden, first Arabasta outfit, (& Long Ring Long Land) Post-Arabasta & Post-Enies Lobby: This was probably a common or local brand for her cos she's rocking that skirt in all different colors 👌 Also, I just wanna start by saying, all her t shirts actually go past her hips? So her skirts would actually be longer than they look cos she's actually draw quite strange when in tops. Anyway, shes starting off strong with this nice pink top n I like the nice shade with the white. Then, a dark blue for the first and only time ever for Nami to pick out. I personally think lighter colors are nicer for her tho. Bringing us to this BEAUTIFUL baseball jersey with purple sleves, get it bitch oml! 😘 I don't think that skirt matches very well but it's still cute. Then, she tries stripes and I think it works out well and I think the 3/4 length look is good for her too so that one is nice. The diamond pattern tank top is actually one of my favourite Pre-Skip looks just because it's so well matched with the skirt. You can't see in the picture but the dot inside the circle is the same yellow as her top so it's just very well done, definitely an actual set. And the lace? Amazing. I hate the feel of lace myself but it looks amazing.

Baratie, Drum Island, Post-Arabasta, Long Ring Long Land Whisky Peak, Post-War, Punk Hazard: Now, I don't actually have much to say about these, I just think they are worth mentioning.i like Nami in shirts with text, I always spend way too long trying to read em lol. Anyway, I like the Drum Island shirt & Punk Hazard shorts because ✨ stripes ✨

Water 7 & Enies Lobby: Nami's first dress! And also a new skirt! I like this frilly style more, I wish it stayed around tbh but oh well. Water 7 gives us the iconic blue shirt & tie with matching shoes and it's a blessing really. Then, Enies Lobby gave us the strange Denim outfit that Paulie hated with all his mind 🤣 At the time,I thought it was a cool outfit. It's not bad, the too looks a bit armour so it's go that going for it and that jacket slaps in my opinion. I like long sleeves on cropped jackets.

Thriller Bark: Pink! When I saw the first outfit, I thought something super bad was going to happen because it looked fancy and that anime for 'time to die'. Lucky for her, nothing happened at all apart for her just looking really grown up. I like her hair too, super cute. In the next fit, it's a total flip, quite punk. Her belt is a nice contrast from her skirt and I LOVE her top! Her party outfit looks like an itchy lace and the straps, while I live frills, look very irritating. It looks cute but I could never wear it myself. Lastly for this set is one of my all time favourites for Nami because she gets to wear a necklace! It's very small and hard to see but I think it's amazingly cute. This combination of her hair being down again, a nice pokadot shirt, full length jeans and a big smile from making a friend makes it all the best.

Sabaody Archipelago & Levely: As with the 3rd outfit set, I just think these are neat. She's rockin' a different necklace, shorts and a 90s style flower top then in Levely she's chillin' in a simple puff sleeve shirt with hearts a cross the chest. Simple looks, very effective

Fish-Man Island, Punk Hazard & Dressrosa: Fish-man island comin' in hot with the iconic Timeskip look and belt! This, I much prefer the Crimin bra because it's simple plus her hair is up really cutesy. Also it's funny cos that would have been expensive for she didn't steal all the outfits she did. Looks wise, Punk Hazard is my favourite but I really dislike that it doesn't cover the bottom of her boobs and its not really supportive. I think it's my favourite because it reminds me of Frankys vibes. Dressrosa's is also really cute but once again looks like the frills would tickle a bit. Also I like her shorts.

Zou: A DRESS! not only that but it's Purple, a color she's not worn before more than as sleeves years back. It's an interesting dress style, very lacy and would brake easy but it's VERY nice to look at. Her next looks bring back the ruffley frills and basic shirts. The half button shirt has her 2nd number on it and the colour matches her skirt! I like the purple coming back in her next skirt but what I like way more is her last Zou look. It's a nice halter neck with black lace trim then to make it better, her skirt is a wonderful shade of red that has an adjustable rope belt with little gold buttons on! I just- 🥰

Whole Cake Island & Wano: everyone's lord and fashion savour, WHOLE CAKE!!! I mean look at how cute she is in that first one! That fairytale aesthetic really owns my ass at this point! Then it's a total shift with that more mature sexy style red turtleneck dress no sleeves? The side by side vibes are 😘👌 love em! Plus, this arc gave us more purple AND 2 box neckline dresses which I think with Nami they really work. The forts Wano ouyfit is only here cos blue really works for her. It look okay but I don't think they are as nice as most people do. Idk what it is about it, I think it's just too square. The 2nd is nicer to my eyes, idk

And lastly, I just wanted to Shout out the First eps and the Dead End Adventure outfit cos it looks like Vector from Despicable me:

Lolita Clothing, A Collection of Cute, Elegant, Cool and Handsome

Lolita is a subculture which originates from Japan. The fashion is highly influenced by Victorian and Edwardian children's clothing and styles of the Rococo period. Lolita is distinctively cute, and its fans love it because of that. The style over the years has evolved to different sub-styles which share the same distinct aesthetic and cuteness just like original Lolita design. The fashion became popular in the 1990s as a radical form of street style. The Lolita clothing subculture is categorized into three sub-styles namely Gothic, classic and sweet Lolita.

The fashion in the 1970s wasn't popular, only a few Japanese fashion houses embraced it. The situation changed in the 1990s because more fashion houses began to merge it with urban street fashion thus making sexier, beautiful and cute. The fashion hit the streets of Shibuya, Tokyo fashion districts and since then Lolita went viral. Music bands like Princess and visual key helped to popularize the brand within and outside Japan. In some districts, the Lolita is nicknamed "Loli".

Classic Lolita

This is the original and purest version of Lolita fashion. Classic Lolita has few decorations compared to sweet Lolita, Gothic or Punk sub fashions. The print on the dresses is simple and has few adornments.  Fashion enthusiasts consider classic Lolita as a more mature style. The reason why they consider it mature is that the design is historically inspired compared to other Lolita styles. The style designers focus more elegance rather than cuteness. Authentic Classic Lolita is made from fabric with muted colors like dusty pastel and jewel tones. Also, the floral prints or solid colors are often embedded on typical Classic Lolita thus making more fancier regarding prints.

Gothic Lolita

Gothic Lolita original fashion is heavily influenced and popularized by the Visual band. The Gothic Lolita frock is made of black but not all of them.

The names were coined by Mana and Japanese Visual band Malice Mizer respectively.  The fashion is also called Bittersweet Lolita. The design is popular with Harajuku teens, and the clothes are influenced by the fantasy world feel. Gothic Lolita cosplay wearers wear heavy knee length socks and boots, bonnets and sometimes parasol which are influenced by modeled by Rococo period fashion common features. The heavy styles influence comes from the Eastern and Victorian Goth style. Most of its brands are characterized by dark colors, crosses, bats and spiders. Also, other Gothic icons and designs are seen on the dress prints. The skirts have petticoat beneath and are normally worn at knee length.  The blouses or shirts worn together with skirts are usually lace-trimmed or ruffled in Victoria style.

Sweet Lolita

Sweet Lolita has more frills and lace compared to typical Classic Lolita. The brand is different from typical Classic Lolita regarding aesthetics. The fashion uses a lot of pink, parasol and other decorations to represent an authentic baby doll look. The fashion is a hybrid of both Classic and Gothic Lolita. The style originally was inspired by Victorian children clothing and Alice in Wonderland. Sweet Lolita is characterized by pop cultures like Hello Kitty, Rilakkuma and other popular cute culture. Pastel colors together with other mute colors paint the fashion. Individuals wearing Sweet Lolita should wear huge Head bows, cute purses, and elegant parasols. Generally, fashion is worn by individuals to look cute and beautiful.

Punk Lolita

Punk Lolita is an experimental style which blends Gothic Lolita with rock style attributes. The fashion is popular with both gothic and rock lovers.  The style has been accepted all over the world due to its uniqueness, craziness, and cuteness.  The style was inspired by Vivienne Westwood and influenced by British punk style. The style consist of frilly Skirts paired with cut sews and at times it can be worn with a more delicate blouse with a tighter skirt or pant. The outfit is characterized by feminine accessories to lighten the look. Lolita silhouette look dictates that the wearer must have a bell-shaped skirt which falls down about the knees but be shorter if the wearer wants it that way.

Even though Lolita has term has a sexual connotation in the Western world, the Japanese use the name to refer to cuteness, elegance, and modesty. The fashion at first was associated with Japanese schoolgirls, but currently, the fashion trend is being rocked across the world. Before the fashion was associated with Nabokov with tempting school girl but today the fashion it’s about cuteness and beauty. s

The core feature of Lolita fashion is the frilly skirt which is often created with petticoat or crinoline.  The skirt can either have cloak-shaped or A-shaped design components. The skirt or dress can be worn with either long or short sleeved blouse.  Women wearing Lolita frequently wear fashion wig accompanied by beautiful headgears such as hair bows or bonnet.  Lolita street fashion is normally gothic cosplay style and is popularized by visual key Japanese popular music.

Lolita designer brands are darling of many due to their authenticity and cuteness. The Lolita designers make elaborate clothes which go out stock within a short period.

Conclusion

Lolita fashion is a unique style characterized by cuteness, and over the years the love for style has grown over the years across the world. This shows the importance of designers picking up classic and traditional/ ancient fashion trends and blends them with urban fashion styles.  By doing this,  they will promote essence appreciating our fashions, and many will buy and wear the brands. Lolita frocks have brought girlish stylish in our streets.

What Is A Bralette? Why Should You Have One In Your Wardrobe?

The latest craze taking the fashion world by a storm, especially lingerie is the bralette. It has been popping up or peeking out from everyone’s Instagram account. Everyone from actresses to pop stars, social media influencers and teenagers, of course, have been seen sporting this super stylish attire. But if you are totally and utterly confused with this trend and would love to wear a bralette, then we have a comprehensive guide for you. In this guide, we offer you answers to questions like, “what is a bralette”, “why should I buy one”, what is the difference between a bra and a bralette and much more. So read on to figure out exactly why everyone has been raving about bralettes.

What is a bralette?

If you have ever looked at yourself in the mirror while wearing a beautiful bra and wondered, “can this pass off as a top?”, then the one-word answer to that question is bralettes. They are basically a cute mixture of crop tops and bras which means it is socially acceptable to wear them as tops. The basic element of a bralette is to be unstructured at least in the way that they appear. They are most often designed with pretty laces and have a sexy design. But bralettes are versatile and have branched out to many different styles and you will surely find on that suite you. They are usually non-padded and non-wired making them the goddesses of comfort in the lingerie world. Bralettes typically have a longline design which means that they extend to your upper waistline and hence can be worn as a top too. Bralettes also pose as a minimal health risk. This is because of their coveted feature- comfort. They do not cause pain even if you wear them for an entire day. Even though bralettes are generally favoured by small-breasted women, even big-breasted women can wear bralettes. Some big-breasted women do not like the minimal support offered by a bralette but fret not. Many companies have now designed bralettes with wiring to offer more support to women with bigger breasts.

What are the differences between a bra and a bralette?

A bra is an intimate worn by women to support their breasts. This is the basic definition of a bra and it comes in different styles and designs according to your suiting. A bralette, however, does not always offer support to the breasts and instead is worn as more of an outerwear. While a bra is used for more functional reasons, the bralette, on the other hand, is used for fashion purposes. It offers both style and comfort- kind of like wearing comfortable clothes that are also night-out approved. You can think of the bralette as the more chilled and relaxed younger sister of the stuffy and uptight bra.

Can I wear a bra with a bralette?

One advantage of the bralette over the bra is to free yourself from the constrictions of a bra and allow your breasts the privilege of movement. However, if you love the support that a bra provides you with then you can absolutely wear it under a bralette. The best thing about wearing a bralette is that there are no steadfast rules.

Can bralettes cause sagging of the breasts?

Even though it is true that bralettes offer diminished support, but it is a myth that bralettes cause sagging. Sagging is a natural phenomenon that occurs due to many reasons like gravity and ageing and has nothing to do with bras.

How to style a bralette?

The main reason to buy a bralette is because of its versatility. It can be styled with almost any clothing and can get you out of quite a few sticky spots. For example, if you have ever worn a bra under a shirt or a dress and have been worried about it being seen or popping up, then the bralette is your saviour. A bralette will not only make it okay if it is seen through your clothing but it will also increase the stylishness of the whole outfit.

Here a few ways and styles that you can wear a bralette.

1. Neckline featured outfits:

Every time you need a lacy camisole to cover tops and dresses with lower necklines, the bralette is a fun alternative. This is because some bralettes have a higher neckline. This is especially useful in the summer because it means wearing one less layer. The high neck bralette can be worn with a low cut top or paired with an open sweater. You can also wear it without pairing it with anything. This trend also looks amazing on the beach or in the pool. 2. Lacey Bralettes:

These are the most common and wanted type of bralettes out there. A typical style is to have lace detailing on the cups or beautiful detailing ob the back. This frilly and delicate material can be paired with many different things to make a cool and stylish ensemble. It can be worn with a sheer top, under a chunky cardigan, with a chic denim jacket or even in the boudoir. It also looks extremely pretty just as a crop top which allows you to flaunt the bralette in all of its glory. You can pair this bralette crop top with a pretty skirt to create a chic ensemble or even wear it with high waisted jeans or shorts. The possibilities are endless.

3. Outfits with a low, open or cut-out back:

Typically, the prettiest part of the bralette is its back owing to the extensive lace detailing or sex straps it has on the back. Wearing a bralette with a scoop back, backless dress or tank tops are the best alternatives to wearing a backless bra or pasties. Not only is it comfortable and made of breathable and non-irritable fabric, but also it enriches the whole ensemble and makes it look better. The racerback design is a perfect combo to go with a lowered back or backless outfit.

4. Formal attire:

A bralette also looks amazing under a blazer or a suit jacket making it the perfect 9-5 attire. Especially is you hustle from 9-5 and hit the bar happy hour onwards. Wearing a bralette with a blazer makes for a great formal outfit and an amazing night out outfit too. It is also a sexy alternative to a blouse or a top.

5. Casual outfits:

A laidback lacy bralette is a great alternative to lingerie especially when you want your outfits to be casual and chill. For example, it works well on a date night when you don’t want to waste time wearing complicate but sexy lingerie. It is also useful when you want a little extra support in the night when you sleep but don’t want to wear a bra. It also looks cute worn with pyjamas or pyjama shorts on a girls’ night in or a sleepover. It makes you look cute and keeps you comfortable, so it is a win-win. You can even pair a cute bralette with a casual shirt for a relaxed look.

6. Outfits with plunging necklines:

The bralette is the best hack for outfits with a plunging neckline when the bra peeking out is a problem. Not only does the bra offer support and comfort which other alternatives may not be able to offer, but it also looks extremely chic under your outfit. The style that is best suited for this is a criss-cross front strap bralette, You can pair this with a low scoop or v-neck top or even wear one with a deeply cut dress for additional flirty flair.

7. Leather bralette:

Another chic style that you can try out is the leather bralette. You can pair it with high-waisted pants, skirts or shorts to add some extra fun and flair to your outfit. If you want to tone down the leather bralette, then you can even pair it with a fitted turtle neck or t-shirt for a more casual look. This is an especially chic look during the daytime.

8. An alternative for jewellery:

A bralette also acts as an amazing alternative for jewellery. You can pair a v-neck shirt with a strappy high-neck bralette and it will make a great alternative for a necklace.

This brings us to the end of the comprehensive guide about bralettes. Hope this guide answers all the pertinent questions about bralettes so that you can now go and rock in your bralette. If after reading this guide you have the urge to buy a bralette, The Lingerie Shop has some gorgeous bralettes that would look good with every ensemble. Happy Shopping!
