There’s something about fashion that whispers instead of shouts — that’s the Coquette aesthetic. Think soft pastels, tiny bows, delicate ruffles and miniature florals — a look that reads romantic and playful but is utterly wearable. You’ve probably noticed it popping up everywhere: Pinterest searches for “bow outfits” jumped 900% in the past year, and TikTok is full of Coquette-inspired outfits, makeup, and lifestyle clips. People seem to be drawn to pieces that feel soft and nostalgic, yet work easily in everyday life.

So, what is Coquette exactly?

The word comes from French, meaning someone who flirts — lightly and with charm. In fashion, it’s become a style that celebrates gentle femininity. Think lace, little ruffles, satin ribbons, pastel shades, tiny floral prints… details that feel thoughtful without being overdone. While its roots trace back to Rococo, Victorian, and Regency eras, today it’s about more than just looking pretty. In 2024, Coquette is playful, nostalgic, and expressive — a way to show personality, embrace femininity, and bring a bit of whimsy into everyday style.

Social media has pushed this revival into full swing. Tumblr and Pinterest gave it a second life, and now TikTok has made it a must-watch trend. The modern Coquette isn’t about dressing up for show. It’s about mixing bows, ruffles, lace, and pastel tones into your everyday wardrobe in a way that feels personal, fun, and a little bit dreamy.

How Coquette Has Evolved

Romantic styles have always been around, but Coquette has been quietly taking over lately. You might notice hints of cottagecore, balletcore, even regencycore in the looks people are loving — all soft, dreamy vibes. What makes Coquette stand out is that flirty little twist. Tiny bows, frills, textures that feel playful without trying too hard.

Think back to Vivienne Westwood in the ’90s — frills, corsets, a kind of romantic edge that wasn’t over the top. That’s the vibe Coquette channels today, mixing a bit of old-school charm with modern wearability. It’s cozy, a little nostalgic, but still works in our fast-scrolling, everyday lives. It’s not about dressing up for a show — it’s about adding small, pretty touches that feel personal and fun.

Brands That Embody the Coquette Mood

Need some inspo? Princess Polly has the playful, youthful side down with mini dresses and pastel ruffles. For Love & Lemons leans on lace, sheer fabrics, and embroidery — flirty but still put together. Reformation goes for soft florals and shapes that work in real life. And even Stanley joins in with tiny floral details on mugs and tumblers. Coquette isn’t just a fashion trend — it’s a little mood that can show up anywhere, adding charm wherever it goes.

Honestly, part of why Coquette is so irresistible is the timing. Life moves fast, and it’s easy to get caught up in minimalism and utilitarian trends. Coquette reminds us to slow down a bit, to enjoy softness, whimsy, and beauty. It’s about reclaiming femininity in a way that’s confident, playful, and unapologetically decorative. Think of it as escapism with a purpose — softness that’s empowering.

And speaking of indulgence, that’s where LuxeCharm’s Petal Whisper press on nails come in.
