For a change of pace, here is a thread to post and discuss recent coords tagged as gothic lolita on various social media sites. This is like the Closet of Frills thread, but just for coords called gothic by their makers, and for more than just CoF (Instagram, Twitter, Weibo, etc.).
I will post some recent coords to start us off.

AtPie official model Connie, living the dream.
it seems like asymetrical draping is very in right now...
>>9268282
Good for her
>>9268290
insta-lolita trends are a bit different from, say, facebook/tumblr-lolita trends. brands like Sheglit (makers of the asymmetric buttcapes that are always sold out), h. Naoto, and BPN (RIP) have put out asymmetric things for a long time, but those looks seemed to remain popular in Japan without reaching the West.
then there is Moitie where most EGA label items and some EGL blouses have asymmetric qualities...
>>9268282
are self-posts alright? I wore this to a concert a little while ago (hence offbrand/cheap stuff), still not sure if it counts as lolita or just straight goth though.
>>9268280
Oh shit, I very nearly bought this on release but decided against it. Seeing it worn is making me sorely regret that decision.
>>9268302
>>9268309
selfposts are cool. i think it looks like it could work as ero-lolita, depending on what you wore with it. belts like that usually push it further towards "general goth" and away from lolita imo
>>9267321
JFC this is ugly af.
>>9267364
I love this.
>>9268309
I think that hair, legwear, and shoes could push this firmly into the lolita camp. I love square / angular blouse collars.

tag abuse or drastically different conceptions of what a gothic coord is?
>>9272061
going for specific brand tags yields better coords
here are a few more from the #gothiclolita tag

I really wish this was better quality
>>9272188
Japanese lolitas are frustrating in that regard
>>9267336
This is a legitimate question: do you consider it gothic? I mean, if this dress was all black I could start thinking of it, but with red I get this classical vibe from it.
>>9272267
same. maybe with different styling.
>pic unrelated
>>9274581
>>9274586
>>9272061
Gothic lolita can be used as a synonym for lolita fashion, especially in Japan
Why do Western lolitas have no idea what gothic is?

Those tights are amazing. Anyone know where they're from? They look like abilletage but I don't see any with that bone underlay on their website.
>>9274709
I keep saying this but no one seems to believe me, they're also a lot freer with what constitutes as gothic, even when trying to make distinctions from sweet and classic etc
>>9272267
I say yes because I'm getting a mature Victorian/Edwardian vibe from it with the buttons and corset lacing in the back.
>>9276187
I could see that considering a lot of people register any sort of period-style clothing with Gothic style/subculture. Before lolita, lots of goths were wearing frilly dresses and petticoats.

They are by DOBUSU.
>>9279263
Goddamn do those pointy toed shoes work. Hnnngh work it obsixi.
>>9279287
I love her coords, but I always think she's a bit hit or miss with her legwear and shoe choices. This here is a hit
>>9279264
Bless you, anon! Much appreciated!
>>9279678
I really like how this girl does Moitie.
>>9279678
she is reuploading her old coords while she establishes her Insta account. they are reposts rather than fresh content (see OP for thread purpose)
unless that is an enitirely new one that happens to look like her others... in which case i applaud her consistency but lament her lack of risk-taking!

What's the skirt cage thing called?
Is that just the design for that specific dress, or is that a style?
mini dump comin'
no one wants to call their shit gothic anymore (probably for the best--err on the side of caution)
>>9281537
>>9281540
>>9281543
ending with this gorgeous top-tier aristo coord
>>9281537
>no one wants to call their shit gothic anymore (probably for the best--err on the side of caution)
How comes? Can you explain this for a beginner?
>>9281554
I would assume it's because people don't want to be confused with the hot topic goth kids, but I could be totally wrong
>>9281554
it's mostly people don't want to incorrectly label their coords. a lot of time what you're seeing is classic in black, or sweet in black.
gothic is not a pejorative. it's the most beautiful of styles imo but not as popular as others.
>>9281632
That's Boz's iconic Roland coat in the long length. There isn't an under-coat or vest with this, the Roland has a false-waistcoat front to it. Rolands are a staple item that Boz release every year, in a standard version and a yearly variant, in a knee length and a long length.
>>9281821
>>9281823
these were pictures from Boz booth staff i believe
my moonrunes are not up to speed

now AtPie. sorry for mannequin rather than person, but the bxw take seemed interesting
>>9281828
maybe carnival lolita will return
>>9281643

enlighten us?
>>9283903
>>9283905
hop to any gothic thread in the archive and learn
>>9283910
I really hate that you can't post stuff from the archive without getting deleted/banned. Like what is the point of having it.
/ck/ can post stuff from their archive...
>>9281554
Because people will have a shitfit and say that it's actually a classic or sweet coord in black unless it's gothgothgoth EGA, that's why.
>>9284546
when has anyone here been banned for that?

Her make-up kind of reminds me of Bianca del Rio.
>>9284769
Revolting.
>>9286115
So what did this girl do to make you so salty vendetta-chan? This coord is totally fine besides the rain boots, but... it's raining.

I thought from the thumbnail this was a shitty St Patrick's Day outfit.
>>9290088
can't unsee. makes me wonder if it's possible to do dark green coords at all without it looking like st. patrick's day wear.

I wish AtPi would list items/do rundowns, I love their staff coords but sometimes can't pick apart the individual items.
>>9290122
Oh lord that poor bow :<

man, that shitty eye-makeup really ruined this. it looks even worse next to Mana.
it would have been very pretty if she didn't edge-overdose with that make-up experiment
>>9293913
>>9293948
I fixed this otherwise beautiful coord
>>9293908
I understand that this was supposed to be a Krampus coord, but it looks absolutely awful.
>>9293905
Love it!
>>9293953
