Sailor Lolita V.S. Sailor Fuku Uniform

Similarities:

1. Inspired by Sailor Outfits
According to the image above, you can see a sailor collar and navy blue colors in both of them. This is because both Sailor Lolita and Sailor Fuku are inspired by sailor outfits.

2. Popuar street fashion in Harajuku, Japan
Lolita Fashion and Kawaii fashion both originated from Harajuku, Japan. You can see sailor lolita and sailor fuku a lot in anime as they both give off a strong summer holiday vibe and reminds you of energetic young girls on the beach.

Differences:

1. Lolita Fashion V.S. Casual Kawaii Fashion
Sailor Lolita is a combination between Lolita Fashion and Sailor Elements, which means it follows the basic rules of Lolita Fashion. While Sailor Fuku is a casual Kawaii street fashion.
Sailor Fuku(セーラー服) is a common style of JK uniform, worn by Japanese female students in junior high school. Sailor Fuku normally contains a sailor fuku top(normally with a sailor collar, or a bowtie) and an adorable pleated skirt(normally high waist).
As far as I'm concerned, Sailor Lolita can take inspiration from Sailor Fuku, but Sailor Fuku can not do it in verse.

2. Optional Pleated skirts V.S. Shorter Pleated Skirts with more pleats
Although sometimes a sailor lolita skirt can be pleated, it's they are very different from a JK Uniform pleated skirt. The shape and length of the skirt and the numbers of the pleats are all different! Sailor Lolita skirts are longer and have fewer pleats than JK Uniform skirts.

*Tips on JK Uniforms
JK shorts for Joshi Koukousei (女子高中生) which means female high school student. The JK uniform is the uniform that Japanese girls must wear every day in school.
JK Uniform outfit is now considered a kawaii casual daily outfit.
