Fashion Aesthetics

Though steampunk began as a science fiction genre, it has since become synonymous with an aesthetic that involves Victorian dress, gears, cool goggles, and imaginative machinery. Many people design characters or create cosplays with a steampunk aesthetic in mind, but it is just one out of many different kinds of aesthetics you can incorporate into your creative endeavors or even your daily life! Check out some of these articles below to learn more about popular fashion trends!

Gothic Fashion: The gothic aesthetic is easily one of the most recognizable aesthetics with its dark palette, eye-catching makeup, and edgy accessories. Even if you don’t go fully goth, you might be inspired by the style’s bold choices.
Fairycore Fashion: Fairycore is an aesthetic that taps into the charm and whimsy of fairies, those little flying people who sleep on flower petals and spread joy where they go. This style involves nature-inspired clothing and loose, flowing silhouettes.
Dark Cottagecore Fashion: Dark Cottagecore is a spin on the Cottagecore aesthetic, sharing with it a semi-rustic baseline look but introducing darker palettes and certain gothic elements. If you are curious, this article also introduces other niche fashion aesthetics like Witchcore or Whimsigoth.
Coquette Fashion: Coquette fashion has caught on as a result of its virality on social media platforms like TikTok, and it is a hyperfeminine aesthetic that involves lots of bows, pinks, and cute accessories. Coquette fashion is probably the closest you’ll get to looking like a princess in modern times.
Coastal Cowgirl Fashion: The Coastal Cowgirl’s style is quite self-explanatory, but it takes the best of both summertime beachy fun and country charm. This aesthetic is quite flexible, but staples include cowboy boots, jeans, and flowy dresses.
