Basic Blouse

A basic blouse is your best friend. Basic, in this instance, refers to a common color in your wardrobe. This is not a blouse with minimal lace or ribbon details, just one without a theme. One white blouse for Sweet and Classic Lolita, and a blouse for Gothic Lolita, can add a vast amount of versatility to your wardrobe. A basic color will match all your lolita skirts or jumperskirts.

Prized Parasol

A parasol is a great addition to any lolita wardrobe. The parasol in itself is another great way to have a token aesthetic piece for your coordinate. Additionally, a parasol is also a versatile tool. A parasol is a great way to stay cool in the summer and a great way to keep off snow in the winter. The shade this item provides helps to protect you from harmful UV. I find that a parasol is extremely useful when I need to pose for photos to keep the sun out of my eyes.

​​Basic Bag

While a lolita bag or purse with a distinctive shape, such as a star or a heart, is extremely tempting, nothing can beat a simple or basic style. A lolita bag that is an adorable style but does not have a distinctive shape will be a welcomed addition to any wardrobe. If the bag is one of a core color, such as white for Sweet or Classic Lolita and black for Gothic Lolita is an added bonus! This will allow for an astounding amount of versatility with your coordinates.
