What's " coquette " and a guide to it

What does Coquette Mean? How do you Pronounce Coquette?

Coquette is a flirtatious, charming woman who grasps the attention of men with her confident side of femininity. One of the most asked subjects was the coquette aesthetic meaning. The origin of this French term is “ a woman who wants to seduce men to get what she wants.” It was mainly used for young girls who act like mature women also. Although it sounds like a gold-digger, I can say that this meaning no longer exists (or, let’s say so, lol). The pronunciation of coquette is /kɒˈkɛt/. I also pronounce it as coh-cat! :) Let’s get back to our main topic. These flirty coquette women are also called lolita or nymphet. These are other terms that have the same meaning as coquette. I guess it’s not a good start to talk about coquettes’ flirty and attention-seeking part. Still, it’s not the origin that interests us but the aesthetic itself. That’s why, before thinking, “this aesthetic is never for me; I’m never a flirty person,” I would like you to look at the modern coquette aesthetic, aka the dollette aesthetic

When did it Occur? Who Wears Coquette?

If you are wondering about the coquette women's aesthetic, I will give you the information in this paragraph. But first, let me tell you about the history of this coquette term. The terms nymphet, coquette, and lolita originally come from the protagonist of a book called  Lolita. With this book by Nabokov in 1955, the lolita aesthetic came into being. If you are curious about the subject, there are also movie adaptations. 

Lolita aesthetic, which sprang up during the 2014 Tumblr era, was entirely based on sexual relationships between a minor girl and older men. This problematic behavior, also known as risqué behavior, was criticized and disappeared from social media over time. It has also emerged under the coquette/dollette aesthetic in the last two years. Lana Del Rey's  Born to Die album was the biggest inspiration for this aesthetic. If you're somehow drawn to the dollette style and found this blog, I'm sure you're also a Lana Del Rey fan. And what I absolutely have to say is that Lana Del Rey fans are the people who wear coquette clothes. Of course, we are not limited to this. If you favor pink, brown, and nude tones, like old French culture and clothes, and prefer to be stylish through simplicity, coquette style is for you, too. In addition, if you like old-fashioned lace embroidery, you are already a coquette.
