Flirtation & Finesse: This is Coquette Core

Are you a fan of sweet, playful, and flirty things? Your next favourite trend might be the angelic and effervescent ‘coquette style’.

Embrace your soft and flirty side with the coquette trend. Embrace pretty bows, muted colour palettes, stylish corsets, whimsical staples like milkmaid tops, baby doll dresses, lace, tights, ruffles, pretty hair accessories, flushed cheeks, and light colours.

Initially developed during Marie Antoinette’s reign, the coquette trend gained popularity during the early 2010s as an alternative style modelled after the Japanese Lolita subculture. Today, it’s all over everyone’s Tumblr feeds, thanks to romantic blogs. Several actresses follow this style, including Lana Del Ray, Sydney Sweeney, Lily Rose Depp, and Zendaya, and it’s also reflected in the fan favourite show Bridgerton.

Embrace a romantic and charming look with sweet makeup, accessories, and clothing.

One of our recommendations for excellent coquette pieces to add to your wardrobe is this stunning set featuring the Sandy Liang White Mamas Tank Top and Sandy Liang White Shorty Miniskirt. There are adorable rosebud details and a classic colour palette that add a fun edge to it, so it’s the perfect set for jazzing up your wardrobe in a subtle but playful way that embodies the coquette style.

A bow is a must-have accessory for every coquette. You’ll love the Jennifer Behr Naples satin bow hair clip. Made of black satin, this hair clip adds a sophisticated, feminine touch and will pair perfectly with any outfit you choose.
