A lot of "lolita" seems to be based on 18th-19th century European fashion, so it makes sense that it would suit a white British person. Connor ended up with a typical 18th century shirt, ruffled at the neck. The wrist ruffles used to signal that the person did not work with their hands.

While in college in WA state, on the metro bus route, there was a girl who wore a whole lolita outfit every day. Every day is a new color and all the accessories are color coordinated, it was so pretty. It was so cool to see it in real life, but i do get nervous for her when she walks thru scary neighborhoods that i wasnt sure how they would react to such a bright outfit. But she's been attending college for 2 yrs so she's been doing well

I mean tbh he's also puts himself in the most awkward situations that most people would never bother doing.

[@eggspoomgumber]

Kinda disappointed Connor didn’t end up going to the tea party in a full Lolita coord, but he honestly fits into the ouji aesthetic really well as a British orphan boy. Plus I just happened to be dressed in ouji fashion today so the release was perfect.

[@ouui]

I wish he explored ouji fashion more, since I doubt the girls even explained him what the term means, or what to look for in order to dress more masculine lolita. Indeed he looked beautiful, I'm sure you do too in your ouji clothes ♡

[@Pink-bow-blue-hat]

Even if he was RinRin's special guest, I don't think a lot of the attendees would have liked a fully grown man with a beard wearing lolita, especially at a big tea party like that it would have been taking the piss. However, if he shaved, slapped on a wig and cute makeup on like he did for the cosplay video, that would have been fine and I'm sure Connor would have looked really cute!

[@ZeldasMask]

I thought his outfit looked 🔥

[@Bisexualdragon4042]

Maybe in the future, he'll find a Lolita shop with his size. That way, he can find a better match. I definitely wanted to see him in more ruffles or a tail coat.

[@Nevae_696]

They literally had nothing in his size I’m surprised he looked that decent

[@wherethetatosat]

Rinrin's too pure. She blushes when she sees him in shorts. Meanwhile, Kaho is willing to do all sorts of unholy things to him. Now I need a crossover with both of them so they can simultaneously torture him.

[@Hoyeaaaaaaah]

YEA THIS

[@00Human0]

Kaho is just build different

[@nin2494]

Considering how many stores she's a regular at, and how enthusiastic she is to show Connor around (especially to the more... unsavory places) I'm pretty sure Kaho's basically just a sadistic Onee-San at this point lmao. I mean how many of your older female friends have headlocked you alongside muscle girls at a muscle girl bar? If you answer more than 0, lucky ass bastard Rinrin, on the other hand, is an innocent yet successful imouto and must always keep her shame in mind for the more modest audience, and thus must blush at any and everything you wouldn't show your parents even if she's technically the one making you show said things. One is shameless, the other is modest- I would definitely love to see how their dynamic works. Would Kaho corrupt Rinrin? Would their assembled knowledge of different, less and more ero, domains conflict? Or will they be pleasantly surprised at how much they have in common- enjoying Connor's embarrassment? I wanna know!

As a guy who's always been interested in lolita fashion, it's really cool to see Connor look into it! I kinda felt it wasn't something I could be comfortable actually interacting with since that space is so feminine, (not that that's a bad thing!) but seeing how openly Connor approached it kinda made me reconsider that :)

[@Enjyu_666]

I think you should deffinitely try out what you're interested in, make peace with yourself if it doesn't fit in the "norms" of your environment, and don't be afraid to take criticism, or even be laughed at and singled out 🤷in the process, and on the long term, it will probably be a great and rewarding experience. And, if you're attracted to ladies, many prefer men who are comfortable with themselves, as in not putting a boundry macho stuff/feminine stuff.

[@thetachiban57]

​@@Enjyu_666 I second this. I dress Lolita and my husband dresses Aristocrat and he's manly as heck. We've been together for more than 15 years now.

[@Cherrypoptarts]

You should check out “ouji” it’s a more masculine I guess Lolita type kinda thing… I’m not sure how to explain it. But it’s super cute, got the Lolita essence to it, and I see a lot more guys do that. While girls still do dress in it.

[@tetitous]

As someone who wears lolita but has never been to a lolita event, if you're interested in the fashion you should still try it out, just getting to feel like you're in clothes that bring you joy is honestly the most important part

[@deardaezie]

you really should try it! i wear it semi-regularly when i walk to the city and for every bad look there's at least ten compliments. the last time i wore a jsk on the train i had 5 people stop me to say that they loved my dress :)

aaa the butterfly pea flower tea to match the purple/yellow color theme was a really cute idea.

[@thetachiban57]

For anyone who really likes the outfit Connor wears to tea and would be interested in trying that style for themselves, it's not technically called "Lolita" itself as that's usually the term used for the style with dresses or skirts, but it is a very closely related style with a lot of overlap. It's kind of the "male" version of lolita although it can be worn by anyone no matter whether you're male, female, androgynous etc. Search terms to use would be "Ouji", "Kodona", "Boystyle", "Aristocrat", "Neo Victorian" and "Dandy"

I almost thought it was more Steampunk style, but I can see that certain details do not completely match with that. I got elements out of it.

[@thetachiban57]

@@sonerkamer2678 There is a bit of crossover due to victorian influences that are present in both. There was also a bit of a leap in the popularity of steampunk fashion in Japan a while back and the mingling of steampunk with lolita and lolita related styles was an element of that.

[@kawaiimagicalex5170]

ieah me too im lolita yeas i like connor with rinrin

[@TheBeriorgar]

connor absolutely rocked that outfit, i'll be waiting for him to do a trash taste episode dressed up like that

[@sky_high_yellow]

This was so peaceful compared to your usual videos of trying new things and you looked great in my opinion! Everyone seemed so welcoming and everything looked pleasant from the staff at the store, to the tea party, just thoroughly pleasant and enjoyable to watch! Also, a very happy birthday to RinRin who seems so lovely, which is always nice to find out about someone you've seen in magazines forever and all over the alternative subculture. Truly a duo I never knew I needed.

[@kingarchlich5142]

Honestly, I really appreciate the cafe owner's joy in what he does.

[@matthewrempel6646]

No matter how many times Connor tries to undercut himself, and hide behind self-deprecating humour, I want to be clear that he actually looks really great!!! In all of these videos he does so much better than he gives himself credit for, and I wish he would have more confidence in himself both in and out of this style of video

[@suso5782]

I totally agree with you!!!

[@furuyawn]

always makes me so happy to see respectful lolita fashion content made by people outside of the community!!

[@remeech]

Thank you rinrin for providing us connor in lolita clothing

[@cossetta]

as a full time lolita its so nice to see positive light of our fashion!! ik before your editors were making it seem weird whenever you said the word lolita so im glad to see this perspective shift!!

[@panpan_pokan]

I loveeeed the final fit on Connor so so much...!!! the subtle colour suits him immensely and i feel like ouji/kodona style looks just lovely on him !! I feel like it was a better choice than choosing a dress and bonnet unless he expressed an interest in specifically dressing femme so it's obvious he felt more comfy in ouji and it wasn't just for the sake of the video gimmick of tryin lolita fashion kind of thing ;; w ; 💙 I wanna visit cafe Acorite so badly ahhh.... thank you for the tea pot showcase at the end i'm totally in love...

[@ginaluisa._]

"Turns out: good clothes can be quite expensive" *cuts to sponsor* I see what you did there

[@sifiz467]

Am I the only one who thinks that most of the outfits he tried on actually suited him decently well? 😂

[@mellyjamieson91]

The cat dress looked pretty cute on him 🙈😂

[@Rust1809]

Got us used to seeing him crossdressed, didn't he. Also anything over the sameshirt is an upgrade!

[@englishatheart]

No hate meant, but people really should stop implying they're so unique and special that they could possibly be the "only one" out of billions of people on this planet that has a certain opinion. 😝

[@sukatidi]

i really liked the cat dress, i think that was the only other thing apart from the final outfit that actually suited him personally

[@sonialinsey8083]

I mean everything looks good on someone who is young, handsome and reasonably fit lol.

[@Tiana_Skye]

Such a fun and cute video, and props to you for rocking that outfit so well! Also to RinRin for making sure the look came together. I tried to dabble in Lolita fashion as a teen in the early to mid 2000s, but the lifestyle was just too expensive. Still --- it's absolutely lovely. :)

[@miraculous_posts1810]

Connor being so consistently respectful in these kind of videos always make them easy to watch :)

[@indirakirana]

i started wearing lolita a few years ago and for me it's been my everyday wear (as long as I'm not going to the office 😅). People don't dress that bright where i live (seeing someone in pastels is already quite rare) so i definitely get some looks when i wear it esp on public transportation but i just love how i feel and look when i wear lolita fashion so i don't pay it any mind. unlike a lot of other lolitas theres not really a community of lolitas where i live but i def still have fun playing dressup on my own 💗💗

[@cernanwinterfox85]

This is amazing. This really hits home for me. As a guy who wants nothing more than to be cute, but is built to play rugby this gives me some hope.

[@dickwintered]

Yes! You go and explore your cuteness!

[@M1N1Girl007]

​@@dickwinteredUr comment sounded sarcastic 😅

[@dickwintered]

​@@M1N1Girl007omg! No not at all. I think the sexiest and manliest guys are ones who embrace all sides of their masculinity and femininity.

[@M1N1Girl007]

​@@dickwinteredTHATS TRUE😊

[@cernanwinterfox85]

Sadly winter is upon us soon. Full lumberjack is the style of the season, but next spring maybe. I'll try to find something pretty that can fit my shoulders. In seriousness though, it's super cool to see that it's more and more possible to get anything (or more, or even some things) in any size these days.

[@Jayness____]

I LOVE LOLITA FASHION OMG I NEVER THOUGHT I NEEDED THIS COLLAB

[@loveyrose073]

Before they made the final outfit, I saw the shirt in the back and was like “that one. That’s the one.” And the way Rinrin styled it?? Immaculate 😌👌 he looked sooooo good, he looked amazing, I loved it 💜💜 and I’m glad he loved it too, it shows when someone actually likes the outfit they’re wearing, I’ve only just noticed this now 😅 but if someone isn’t feeling their outfit, if they’re not feeling confident, you can tell, and it makes the fit look bad, even if it’s not…. But that end fit and how he felt with it, just pulled everything together 💜 although, tbh, it was a really great fit, the harness was a suuuuper nice touch 👌 like, I want that fit actually 😂😂 I wanna go to that shop now haha

[@belhougoldenwind]

Yaaas Moi Même Moitié is the way! Its an iconic brand (created by Mana, the leader of one of the most iconic japanese 90s bands: Malice Mizer), and Connor looked really cool and handsome in this gothic look.

[@GrubbyGub]

Connor ended up looking so good, it’s insane! I was glad he ended up in a Lolita outfit that suited him and he felt ok with:)

[@voidmatic]

as someone that really loves lolita fashion and alternative fashion in general (seeing rinrin in a cdawgva vid is a real treat), I'm always really happy with just how lovely and respectful connor is any time he tries something new like this :)

[@salsan8198]

This is such a great video !! Ouji (prince/boy style) would definitely suit Connor I think ! 😄 (I wish they talked more about that style within lolita fashion more since there's more to it than just dresses for those who prefer pants or shorts c: )

[@meepneeks]

This was so wholesome. Connor's final look was smashing. I hope he goes back (maybe with the boys, their ladies or Chris) for another fancy fit tea party uwu.

[@Iovenamin]

I’m obsessed with this video ! Your open mind-ness to Lolita is so prevalent throughout the video. The outfit at the end actually suited you so much and to see a community be so accepting of you is so cute!! 😭🫶

[@little_black_kookie4086]

this was one of the most wholesome videos Conner has ever done. it was so cuteee! my heart was melting the whole time.

[@Adrian-Maxwell]

Connor can say what he wants but both the tea party and the goth/punk outfit (the long black shirt RinRin had to help him out of) both looked absolutely fire on him. Also, I want to see him (properly) dress up as Ciel.

[@sonialinsey8083]

Yeah I mean if you’ve ever been to japan with a talk white dude they get mobbed by young women for photos. Connor looks a lot like my Japanese teacher that I went with years ago. I bet all the lolita girls wanted pics with him even if they were being polite.

[@primarinaprincess]

Lolita is one of those fashion trends that invoke a memory of my weeb years as someone who had recently gotten into anime and manga who fell in love with the way the dresses were so cute and doll like. I loved in particular this Alice in Wonderland themed dress that I've always wanted but never got nor do I think is even available anymore. But you look fantastic in that outfit, great video!

[@aurin-clover]

hey this seems like a wonderful memory, I was just wondering if have you checked lacemarket or closetchild’s online shop? These are secondhand sites for lolita fashion! There’s always a chance of even rare and unavailable dresses in popping back up for sale there, especially if the dress you loved was from one of the bigger brands Sorry, I know no one asked,I just think it would be wonderful if you were able to find it again

[@zeeZerl]

I feel like RinRin could get me to wear anything and like it. I hope this dolling up of Connor continues, it's quite wholesome.

[@geminizodiac9929]

21:50 was so cute and wholesome 😭You looked so cool Conner!

[@Shimakaze2487]

glad you enjoyed the experience. the feelings of joy that surround wearing the clothes putting together an outfit and chilling with like minded friends and acquaintances you might not see or speak to often is a factor in why people may stay in the worldwide Japanese Lolita Fashion community.

[@jemma_mae_]

As soon as I saw your Instagram stories together I KNEW this was happening!! I'm so happy to see more representation on lolita fashion!!! I hope this brings more people to the fashion I adore!!😃💕

[@DarkEnchantments]

unironically, that shirt looks great on him. it's still in the beige/brown colour palette he likes to wear all the time, but ~elevated~

[@michaelahuss2123]

Ah, so fun! It was cool to show all of the different ways to enjoy Lolita fashion - Connor may have been one of the only guys at this tea party, but I hope more guys will feel comfortable in the Lolita subculture-space! Cool collab with Rin Rin, and happy birthday, too!

[@charmainearongay6448]

Safiya's lolita vid with rinrin is one of my favorite go-to's to put on the background. Glad she collaborated with one of my favorite podcast guys to put on the background. This was very charming!

[@typicalrose9918]

i really appreciate how open conor is when exploring this stuff. He is so respectful

[@cookiepielp8354]

As a Lolita myself I can really relate with that whole "It just feels right" thing. When I saw myself in a Lolita coord for the first time (even if the dress itself wasn't really my style and didn't fit properly, lol) I was just so happy looking at myself and felt so pretty! So if anyone out there thinks about becoming a Lolita and trying out the fashion, just do it! Maybe try something on from a friend or at a shop, if you're near one that sells Lolita. But if not, there's always the internet! Many indie brands are pretty affordable or there a second hand sites like Lacemarket. And if you don't like it, you can always resell it. But if you have some doubt about the fashion or if it would suit you, my advice is to just try it out and see yourself in it c:

[@yunorotten]

I have been waiting for this video ever since I was him collab with Rinrin! I have been into lolita fashion years and years and I do wear it, my only gripe with this video was that there where no mentions of lolitas sibling style ouji fashion, which is what Connor was wearing for the tea party, it ahs many names from boy style, kodona to dandy, but there is definetly a style for men and people who like more masc aesthetic and there are lolita brands who make ouji clothing like Alice and the Pirates, Metamorphose temps de fille does them from time to time and Moi meme moitie which was in this video. I was pleased that Connor that Connor tried actual lolita fashion with the triple fortune dress even if ti wasn´t a full coord

[@piotrjeske4599]

Some of those seem to be just 60-70 XIXth century menwear with more jewelry the normal.

[@Milkythefawn]

Right. Some people consider Ouji a “sibling style” while others consider it a substyle of lolita.

[@Milkythefawn]

@@piotrjeske4599 Lolita as a fashion takes inspiration from historical clothing. You wouldn’t guess it from sweet lolita (the style rinrin is wearing) But if you look at classic lolita and some Hime lolita, you’ll see the historical references Lolita and Ouji are both very inspired by historical clothes.

[@Shire_Sam]

I must admit that Connor has the frame to suit this style of clothing. He looks very dapper in a well cut suit. Congratulations to RinRin for the fantastic clothes and subtle makeup (belated birthday greetings ❤). I was trying to figure out the true male lolita style equivalent. I'm thinking maybe Georgian period clothing (think pride and prejudice) but to make it lolita add a modern twist somehow? Maybe a change in colour or pairing it with a certain style of hair?

[@Milkythefawn]

It’s called Ouji. Like lolita, it can vary in theme and style, it’s just the masculine version of lolita.

[@imamiachia]

me replaying the part at 20:45 multiple times because i wasn't expecting a voice over and thought the inner voices were taking over. lovely video though : )

[@RentandWicked]

The way I was geekimg out looking at the colour changing tea and the tea pots!! I love these kinds of things! I really love how Connor embraced the fashion and didnt make fun of it or anything and that was so wholesome refreshing to see

[@LeleputMaster13]

This was really nice and I think the clothes looked great. Stepping out of your comfort zone was really nice to experience with you. Thank you for this new cultural experience

[@ReneeCM3]

I live for Conner doing jfashion videos! Lolita is a amazing fashion, and Rinrin is a great choice to guide someone through the community and the different jfashions in general. I hope Comner does Decora at some point, it's a fun fashion and easier for men to get into sizing wise.

[@delermaincreative]

Fair play to LolitaDawg. Was a fun watch. Thank you both 😄

[@rosa97509]

i love how open connor is to different lifestyles even tho its not what hes into :)) hes super respectful
