   Dark coquette fashion varies, but there are still some major themes. These themes are:

   • Skirts: While coquette fashion isn't 100% skirts, you'll probably have an easier time winning DTI if you pair your dark coquette outfit with a pretty, flouncy skirt.
   • Bows: Bows are a must-have for coquette fashion. This includes bows on your clothes itself, as well as bows in your hair. A big bow holding back a ponytail is a signature of coquette fashion.
   • Pearls: Jewelry in general is important to the coquette style, but pearls are one of the gems of choice.
   • Corsets: Since coquette fashion is also inspired by romantic historical fashion, corsets are featured prominently in coquette styles.
   • Cute purses: A cute purse that matches your outfit is a great way to fit the coquette style.
   • Mary Janes: Mary Jane shoes aren't the only shoe you can wear in a coquette outfit, but it's a great choice due to how cute and innocent they make the wearer look.
   • Tights: A pair of white tights under your coquette outfit is a great way to tie it all together. You can also opt for thigh-high stockings if you prefer.

Tips

• Dark coquette isn't the same as goth, punk, or emo. Even though dark coquette has a dark color scheme, it's still the same flirty, pretty fashion style that coquette is. Avoid fishnets, spikes, chains, or anything that looks too "harsh."
