Today, I would love to share with you how I have collated my coquette inspired dollete aesthetic and expressed it through my fashion. I love all things femininity, kawaii, cottage core and pink and I believe my detailed steps can help you to also fully emody this aesthetic in the way that you dress. This pack will include a general background to the style, pictures for inspo, key words to use when shopping online and specific links to clothing items I have personally found ₊⊹₊ᥫ᭡.
Please enjoy this starter pack detailing all things 𝐂♡︎𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞 fashion:
TOP
In terms of your upper outfit, you want to keep an eye out for frilly and lacy fabrics pertaining to a light/pale colour pallate. Depending on your preference, you may like more preppy inspired looks, or more of a feminine flowery dainty vibe or even a cosy more covered up look.
KEYWORDS to search for: white baby tees, cotton vests with bows, frills, white lining, puff sleeve blouse, ditsy / dainty floral dress, turtlenecks, cropped cardigans, babydoll dress, milkmaid dress

BOTTOM
In terms of the bottom half of your outfit, plaid and pleaded mini skirts are where its at ᝰ.ᐟ Leg warmers and tights are always a perfect way to tye the whole look together and truly embody the dolette/coquette look. Long flowy floor length skirts can certainly go a long way in adding to that cottage core esq style. Again, keep an eye out for frilly, layered ruffles and a bow on your skirt is always a cute addition. Shoes should be along the theme of doll like chunk or classy heels as well as preppy loafers etc.
KEYWORDS to search for: plaid skirt, pleaded skirt, floor length flowy skirt, chunky loafers
