Coquette Outfits: Must-Have Pieces To Mix & Match

Coquette Dresses
The allure of coquette dresses seamlessly blends sophistication and sass. With delicate details like lace, ruffles, and soft flowy fabrics, it gives off a flirty feel that’s timeless.
Coquette outfits are also versatile. Depending on where you’re going, you can wear these pieces from day to night (say, you’re going to brunch then a museum, and dinner after).
In our day and age, most coquette dresses are also a lot more comfortable! No need to tighten corsets to the tightest they can go like they did back in the day.
For more options, pretty much any dress from LoveShackFancy is a winner.
Cutest Cardigans
Breezy summer days and nights call for lightweight cardigans. These pair well with the coquette dresses above and it’s so easy to throw on and go.
Cardigans are perfect for layering and you can easily put it on or take it off. Style-wise, you can also drape it over your shoulders or tie it around your waist when it gets warmer.
Any of these pieces are transitional for the seasons so it’s worth the investment. Whether you opt for a lace style or a printed one, you can’t go wrong.
Romantic Hair Accessories
A major part of the coquette aesthetic is delicate hair accessories. These remind me of the bows and hairpins I wore as a little girl. This style carries a lighthearted nostalgia and reminder to not lose that sense of childlike wonder.
From elegant headbands to pearl-embellished hair ties, these coquette hair accessories add an extra touch of whimsy to any outfit.
Coquette Jewelry
Of course, jewelry completes the look adding visual interest and personality. Think earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and rings adorned with intricate details like pearls, bold gemstones, ribbons, and heart motifs. This style embodies femininity and instantly elevates coquette outfits.
Handbags & Accessories
These accessories add a modern feel to the nostalgic trend. Although it has classic elements, the style feels very much like today and pairs well with the looks above! Jewelry brand Jenny Bird recently launched sunglasses and these pink frames are perfect for everyday wear.
The Moschino oversized heart motif belt adds fun and a reminder not to take getting dressed too seriously. I also love this Supergoop! x LoveShackFancy set with the floral pouch and sunscreen essentials — how cute!
Coquette Aesthetic Shoes
As for coquette-style shoes, it’s not just about footwear, it’s also a whole mood in itself. Shoes can change the whole look of an outfit. From Mary Jane style mesh ballet flats, floral mules, and bow sandals, to strappy heels, there are so many ways you can go with shoes to match your coquette outfits.
Classic Beauty Goods
Last but not least, add these beauty goods to your vanity to complete your look. Coquette makeup has also been making waves online and in real life. Think ethereal and glowy.
The focus on natural, radiant skin, rosy cheeks, soft eyeshadow, and lips with a hint of color creates an effortless elegance. Plus, the design of these beauty goods looks like works of art!
