Coquettecore, balletcore, girlycore. Whatever you call it, this romantic, youthful and feminine aesthetic is so easy to fall in love. It's like the princesscore aesthetic's daintier and flirtier counterpart, but with just as much elegance and whimsy. It's also a lot more casual and easy to incorporate into your everyday outfit. Take coquettecore handbags for instance. These bags come in classic silhouettes and are embellished with the characteristic coquette touch - ribbons, bows, pastels, sateen and more! We've picked out five cute ribbon bags to get you on board this trend:
