Hair in this style is seen being worn in pigtails, down, in a bun or odangos, or braids. Ponytails are very rare. Another common hairstyle is curled hair, to give the hair a shinier, softer look, particularly in pigtails. Split colored wigs and pastel colors wigs have become more popular in Sweet Lolita within recent years. The makeup is mostly light and neutral.
Accessories most seen in Sweet Lolita include headdresses, bows, hats or mini hats and decorative headbands, skin tights, light-colored tights, knee-high socks with lace tops, parasols, bags and jewelry that has common Sweet Lolita motifs.
Visuals
Motifs and imagery most often seen in Sweet Lolita are desserts, berries, animals, flowers, childlike fantasy elements and children's books.
