What is Nun Lolita?

Nun Lolita is a "Nun-looking" substyle of Lolita Fashion. It is one of the dark themes of elegant gothic lolita. Therefore, like Gothic Lolita, Nun Lolita also has some influence from 19th-century Gothic literature and the horror films of that time. But it's primarily inspired by Orthodox and Catholic nuns' religious clothing "habit".

• Tips on "habit"
• "Habit" is a religious costume for nuns with long black robes or tunics, a headpiece to cover the hair, and the collar and forehead/brim parts of the overall look are white. Catholic school students are also wearing it.
• Nun's Religious Clothing "Habit”
• 

The colors used in Nun Lolita are mainly solid black with a small amount of white color to achieve a basic color scheme for "Nun-style".

In addition, Nun Lolita outfits feature lace ruffles, white high neck collars, puritan collars, long bishop sleeves, buttoned cuffs, and dark themes like crosses, pentagram, churches, etc.

The makeup and hair in Nun Lolita should also be natural and simple to keep a modesty vibe.

Nun Lolita V.S. Elegant Gothic Lolita

Nun Lolita is very related to Gothic Lolita, especially Elegant Gothic Lolita. You can consider Nun Lolita as a popular dark theme in Goth Lolita. Because both of them are inspired by 19th-century Gothic Fashion, Victorian clothing, and Renaissance clothing.

Almost all Nun Lolita outfits belong to Elegant Gothic Lolita. In general, Nun Lolita is a Nun-looking elegant gothic lolita fashion and usually features a solid black dress, a white Puritan collar, motifs like stained church windows, churches, architecture, candles, crosses, roses, and so on.
