Full FAQ Guide – Everything You Need to Know About the Coquette Aesthetic

Before we jump into our favorite coquette outfits, let’s break down everything you need to know about the coquette aesthetic and what makes it such a dreamy style. We’re talking about the meaning behind this aesthetic, who it’s best for, and the must-have fashion essentials to help you incorporate coquette core into your style. Bring on the bows and lace!

What is the coquette aesthetic?

The coquette aesthetic is a fashion trend that celebrates all things romantic, girly, and hyper-feminine style — think: ribbons, bows, frills, lace, and florals. It takes inspiration from vintage styles, such as the Regency and Victorian eras (hello, Bridgerton!), as well as classic girlhood obsessions, like ballet and princesses.

While the word “coquette” means “a woman who tries without sincere affection to gain the attention and admiration of men” — aka, a flirty woman — this aesthetic is more about channeling your feminine side than anything else. Like the other viral girlcore trends (girl dinner! girl math!), the coquette aesthetic is about reclaiming all the things that make girlhood so special….and looking super cute at the same time!
