The Coquette aesthetic, also popular as the “Dollette” aesthetic, is on a rise on the internet. Coquette is defined as a woman who is flirtatious. This aesthetic draws cues from the nostalgic 90s summer fashion and is romantic and empowering.
Aesthetics like Fairycore, Regencycore, and Soft girl come close to Coquette or Dollette aesthetic in terms of feminity and softness. However, this aesthetic is far more sensual and flirty.
This aesthetic is also known as Nymphet and is based on a character trope that originated in Vladimir Nabokov’s “Lolita”, published in 1955, and its movie adaptations from 1962 and 1997. (aesthetics.fandom.com)

It is often seen in the form of clothing that draws attention to the wearer’s body, and it is an aesthetic that has been used by many designers and brands in recent years. It has now been popularized by Tik Tok and other social media platforms.
Coquette aesthetic can be defined as a way of dressing that’s both sexy and playful, with an element of surprise. It is not just about the clothing but also about how you act and behave.
