6 Pieces that Totally Embody the Coquette Aesthetic

6 Pieces that Totally Embody the Coquette Aesthetic

Ahem *adjusts glasses*, according to the almighty Merriam Webster Dictionary, coquette means a flirt. So, as you embrace this aesthetic, the key to nailing this style is all about the femme details—think lace, pretty bows, florals—that make you feel lady like in the most modern way possible.

Scroll to discover our six favorite pieces of coquette clothing and how to layer them into your late-summer wardrobe.

Dream Angels Satin Open-Back Cami & Shorts Set

A major hallmark in coquette style is florals (groundbreaking). But really, what could be more flirtatious than essentially wearing a bouquet? We recommend either wearing the set at home to romanticize your life, pairing the camisole with a white, eyelet mini skirt, or pairing the short with an oversized white button-down (only tucked in the front for a little extra back coverage). Trend, mastered.

Dream Angels Satin Long Slip

A coquette dress is a must-have for all the girlie gals this season. This one gives you a sexy silhouette paired with a dusty-rose hue for the perfect blend of sultry and soft. Complete the look with a pair of ballet flats and a lightweight, ethereal cardigan for a pretty picnic-chic vibe (or happy hour—we can’t all be living in a fairy-tale-inspired music video).

Dream Angels Classic Lily Embroidery Corset Set

I mean, it was only a matter of time until we reached the Corset portion of this coquette styling guide. We know her, we love her, she is the moment. This lacy iteration can be styled a million ways—dress It down with your favorite jeans or glam it up with a silky maxi skirt. It’s the most versatile piece in the coquette collection, so you may need more than one.

Dream Angels Satin Lace-Trim Romper

The lace details on the top and hem of this romper are oh-so quietly delicate yet scream coquette style. And what’s another trend that will never not be cool? Leather and lace, baby. Take this whimsical one-piece to an edgier place with an oversized moto jacket that skims the bottom of the shorts and biker-inspired boots.

Dream Angels Lace Pleated Babydoll Set

This flowy, lacy beauty is the perfect top to pair with flare jeans for a 70s-inpsired take on coquette—or pair it with your favorite cutoffs for just a peek of denim. The matching coquette underwear is the finishing touch.

Dream Angels Satin Lace-Trim Cropped Top & Slip Skirt Set

This is for when you’re ready to go all in on the coquette trend. The color, lace, length, and drape are all leaning heavily into that flirty charm. Let your hair down, pick a flower in a field, release your inhibitions—you get the idea. This look with a simple, minimal heeled sandal is a complete embodiment of the aesthetic.
