COQUETTE

You know it. Tarot actor Avantika knows it. Having gotten a much-needed update, bows are absolutely inescapable right now. Here, we humbly suggest a few ways you can wear them without looking like everyone else.

FIRST, A HISTORY LESSON

The word "coquette" can come with a lot of connotations, some of them super dated. This delicate modern take is anything but. We're reclaiming the term and the sweet details associated with it: cute ruffles, pearls, and, yes, bows paired with workhorse staples like blouses and pencil skirts.

APPLAUSE FOR THE ADD-ONS

A lacy lingerie moment isn't complete without killer accessories hence these chic Mary Janes, a scrunchie-handle bag, this sheer stole, and (of course) the hair bows.

TIME TO RETIRE

If those around you aren't quite sure whether you're heading to bed or going out for the night, you've really nailed this look. Extra points for finally living out your Pride and Prejudice fantasies.

SEE THE LIGHT

Pastel colors like lilac, sky blue, and bubblegum pink are the moment. Although when in doubt, an all-white look also works well. Conversely, deeper colors give this trend a moody edge, which is a vibe in itself.
