How to Style the Coquette Aesthetic
Not to be confused with balletcore, the coquette aesthetic is simply a hyper-feminine, angelic, and soft look that empowers you to embrace your inner girly girl.
TikTok and Instagram have become hubs for everything beauty and fashion. Trends are always being recycled, and aesthetics are always changing. Balletcore and Barbicore, for example, are two of the many aesthetics that have recently emerged from fashion shows and social media this year. Now, it's all about the coquette aesthetic.
Coquette is both a trend and a mood. Just like its name, it's defined as “a woman who flirts.” Coquette is feminine, idyllic, dainty, soft, and angelic. From pink mini skirts to lace blouses, silk, knitted stockings, and chunky heels, the trend is ever-changing as celebrities like Ariana Grande and Sydney Sweeney make the aesthetic their own. The coquette look also includes pearls, gold accessories, chunky shoes, and pendant necklaces, but its most important feature is allowing your own beauty to stand out. Simplicity and ornamental, yet playful and nostalgic, your look is channeled through blends of the hyper-feminine modern trend. Think: Black Swan or Lana Del Rey in the 2010s.
What sets the coquette trend apart from others is the styles that are being interpreted and reinvented, embracing one’s femininity rather than sexualizing innocence. As more people are dressing coquette, the emerging theme of the trend is all about unapologetically being yourself. When considering this trend, think of versatility, comfort, and functionality across the ensemble of items that make this look stand out. Style is ever-changing, and trends will always have a way to come back full circle, thus, experiment.
