In our daily lives it has been evident how the intensity of magenta little by little gave way to pastel tones; In a strong wave of independence, the feminine and delicate gradually made its way. Powersuits , loafers and all the power that the decline of the pandemic brought, opened the way to a very different, almost chaotic world that awakened in many women the desire for a scented dream of spring.
Because fashion, always fluctuating like the society that houses it, indiscriminately respects a maxim: "To every trend, there corresponds a countertrend." And this is how the hyperfeminine aesthetic little by little began to flood everything: clothing, footwear, pastries, decoration, etc. Suddenly, we were wrapped in the delicate bonds of the flirty trend , which gained even more strength in 2024.
Sidney Sweeney, Zendaya and Elle Fanning presented flirty outfits on their red carpets, integrating some dark elements.
Coquette comes from French and means the most obvious: coquette. We are talking about a sweet and childish coquetry, without confusing it with the lolitas that Vladimir Nabokov created in his 1955 novel and that was quickly adopted in the 2000s. The coquette trend speaks of a purely feminine and delicate world, of a new romanticism .

In our new reality, nostalgia has not ceased to be the main theme of fashion. The coquette trend romanticizes life, returns to childhood and takes its memories from it like the warm essence of an autumn herbal tea: it is time to heal and connect with our sweetest era, the one that was hidden behind our current identity.
The image of Marie Antoinette, by Sofia Coppola, is a great reference for this trend
Warm and pastel tones, such as pinks, purples and light blues, are preferred. An air of Marie Antoinette, the Victorian era and Jane Austen's books come to life again on the streets, sheltered under the banner of stars like Lana del Rey or Taylor Swift; and setting a trend on catwalks, as we saw in Chanel's Spring Summer 2024 Collection, or in Erdem's slingback shoes, which he presented in his collection of the same season.
The artist Lana del Rey is one of the greatest exponents of this trend

Traces of this trend in the past are revealed since the 17th century; We see it in the painting of James Tissot and previously in the most controversial and splendid style of all: French Rococo.

Warm patterns, airy dresses and exquisite hairstyles revive, adapting to modernity. We passionately experiment with fashion, to build the sweetness and kindness that reality does not give us. It is no coincidence that this extravagance has arisen at controversial times for society.
This new femininity, which opposes the classic and chic notion of the 90s, the office siren and minimalism, calls for a sensitive and sweet femininity, which has various tangential lines with the histrionic. We see all this reflected in the garments: dresses and corsets adorned with lace, toupees or ruffles, as well as exquisite floral prints. Shoes like ballet flats or mary jane They are the favorites and hair bows, the final touch that overwhelms everything.
The flirty trend has reached everywhere; such is the case of the Princess of Wales's wardrobe
Ties are the key to this season. This ornament was the protagonist of Fashion Weeks, as well as red carpets, and has been quickly adopted by celebrities and influencers. Although we already saw small glimpses of the flirty trend in 2023, this year it is here to stay.
At Regina Romero, we have the mission of taking the best of trends and adapting them to timeless models, which you can wear all the time, always full of elegance and femininity.
