How To Wear The Viral Coquette Bow Stacking Trend

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

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.

Bow Hair Clips

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.

Bow Stud Earrings

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.

Tinsley Mary Jane Flats

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.

Rhinestone Bow Detachable Shoe Clips

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!

Cable-Knit Sweater Tights

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.

Victoria Tall Boots

Uggs with bows are back with a vengeance, and they’re one of Gen Z’s favorite ways to bow stack this winter. Grab these cult-favorite Ugg Victoria boots on Amazon, and you’ll save $30.

Lace Ruffle Nylon Anklet Socks

Whether you’re channeling a Nabokov novel, Lana Del Ray album, or Japanese sub-culture, these ruffled socks will add the right level of Lolita vibes to your ballet flats, sneakers, or platform Mary Janes.

Classic Pearl Phone Strap Charm

In addition to safeguarding your phone against drops, this pearl phone strap adds the style points of a pearl bracelet to your outfit.

Large Satin Bow Hair Clips

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.

Satin Strapless Underwire Bra

The coquette aesthetic isn’t overtly hot. Like this pink satin Fleur du Mal bra, it’s sweet, flirty, and subtly vintage-inspired.

Bow Stud Earrings

If you’re not the hair bow type, try the trend with bow jewelry like these cutesy studs, instead.

Satin Ribbon

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!

Strapless Fishtail Dress

This flirty LBD makes the perfect backdrop for bow stacking, ballet flats, and coquette accessories galore. Its simple, hot silhouette will keep your statement accessories from feeling juvenile or costume-y.

Ashton Heart Pendant Necklace

Though bows may get all the glory, hearts and flowers are also key motifs of the viral coquette aesthetic. This heart-shaped Kendra Scott pendant looks charming layered among dainty everyday necklaces.

Swinger Leather Shoulder Bag

Whether it’s a sleek Coach shoulder bag or a chunky cardigan, everything feels coquettish in pink. Opt for calmer hues like bubblegum and peach (Pantone’s 2024 Color of the Year) instead of hot pink.

Mesh Bow Necklace

Adding bows on top of bows to timeless basics like tees, jeans, and LBDs gives them a whole new flair. This glittery statement necklace is equal parts coquettish and Plazacore and takes any wardrobe staple up a notch.

Satin Hair Scrunchies

What do balletcore enthusiasts, clean girls, and followers of the coquette aesthetic all have in common? Satin scrunchies.

Cashmere Leg Warmers

This cozy pair of cashmere leg warmers can skew ballet or Y2K, depending on your footwear choice. Once the leg warmer craze passes, you can style them just like slouchy socks.

Bow Claw Clip

A claw clip with a bow turns a lazy hair day into an elegant updo that earns endless compliments.

Joy Shoulder Bag

Feeling burnt out on pink now that Barbie-mania is over? Pastel blue hues bring the same youthful feel as baby pink in a refreshing new way.

Mini Bow Hair Clips

Why wear one hair bow when you can wear a dozen? This 24-pack of mini satin bow clips makes the statement hair looks on your FYP easy.

Paola Top

Puff sleeves and a sweetheart neckline make this corset-inspired bustier feel particularly sweet. Wide-leg jeans or a denim maxi skirt will keep it from feeling overly cutesy.

Monroe Heart Pearl Watch

When it comes to bracelets, rings, and watches, the coquette aesthetic is all about heart motifs and vintage-inspired designs. Consider this pearly Kate Spade New York watch your next keep-forever piece.

Sweet Swan iPhone 15 Case

In addition to dainty floral prints, you’ll see emblems of cute animals like swans, kittens, and bunnies sprinkled throughout the coquette fashion trend. Case in point: this phone case.
