At its core, the coquette aesthetic is all about accessories and adornments. From bow stacking to balletcore, this season’s viral fashion trends would be nothing without hair bows, leg warmers, frilly socks, lace trims, and the like. As a result, it’s easy to adopt the coquette aesthetic without much commitment or closet space. Proof: these 24 coquette fashion finds on Amazon that willl transform your winter and spring outfits from simple to sartorially savvy.
When it comes to coquette outfits, there’s no such thing as too many bows, ruffles, and ribbons, a point proven by notoriously coquettish fashion designers like Simone Rocha, Sandy Liang, and Shushu/Tong. Though the coquette aesthetic’s influences are vast—ranging from Japanese kawaii culture to Degas paintings, Marie Antoinette, and the Regency period—they all share a youthful hyper-femininity and fondness for bows, pastel colors, and sheer white fabrics. While Coco Chanel once said to “look in the mirror and remove one accessory” before you leave the house, the Gen Z TikTokers behind the trend’s 1.3 billion views say to add another.
The key to successful bow stacking is to avoid overthinking. With the rate at which TikTok fashion trends come and go, bows will be dethroned before we know it. But who says you can’t have a little fun while the coquette aesthetic is still around? After all, earlier trends like Bridgertoncore and the Y2K craze suggest that many of these coquette fashion finds will carry over to 2024’s next trending aesthetic.
Of all the easy ways to bow stack, this pack of hair bows is by far one of the easiest. Add one (or more) to a braid, bun, or ponytail to make any look feel coquettish.
The inspiration behind the coquette aesthetic’s pearl obsession: 19th-century Romanticism. Throughout the era, ribbons, intricately braided hairstyles, and pearl jewelry akin to these Lele Sadoughi earrings reigned supreme, and the same can be said for our current fashion tastes.
In addition to bow-accented ballet flats, Mary Janes are a popular footwear choice for those adopting the coquette aesthetic. But paired with frilly socks, these cream flats feel surprisingly more Rococo than schoolgirl.
The beauty of the viral bow stacking trend is that it doesn’t require you to purchase new clothing or shoes (unless you want to, of course). All you have to do is tie a ribbon around something or clip on these detachable rhinestone bows, and voilà!
Though red tights were the color du jour during the holiday season, white tights will take the cake this spring. This cable-knit pair feels particularly right for the current coquette craze.

In addition to safeguarding your phone against drops, this pearl phone strap adds the style points of a pearl bracelet to your outfit.
Take a styling cue from Harajuku girls and add an oversized hair bow to your winter accessories collection. TikTokers have been clipping the same XXL bow barrettes they wear in their hair to bag handles and tank top straps, too.
The coquette aesthetic isn’t overtly sexy. Like this pink satin Fleur du Mal bra, it’s sweet, flirty, and subtly vintage-inspired.
If you’re not the hair bow type, try the trend with bow jewelry like these cutesy studs, instead.
TikTokers are dolling up their sneaker laces and tying satin ribbons around everything from their purse straps to their over-the-ear headphones. So, grab a few rolls and let the DIY projects commence!
