How to Wear The Viral Coquette Bow Stacking Trend (2024)

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
