    Although dressing feminine and flirty has been a classic style in fashion, the end of 2023 marked a popularization of the coquette aesthetic. The coquette aesthetic is a micro-trend that includes bows, lace, ribbon, and pearls. Social media amplified this trend, especially on TikTok, where creators displayed their own versions of the coquette aesthetic with their fashion styles.

    The micro-trend of the coquette aesthetic will be less popular over time but there will be a more simple version of this trend that continues throughout 2024. There will be less social media coverage of this aesthetic compared to when its popularity was at its peak. However, individuals will still incorporate bows into their fashion along with girly, feminine designs going forward. Celebrities play such a large role in inspiring others with fashion and there are many examples of celebrities contributing to this trend.
