Style Aesthetics For 2025: Get The Look

Microtrends come and go faster than ever — but that’s part of the fun. Styles like Trad Wife, Coquette Core, and Indie Sleaze have captured the imagination of fashion lovers online, giving us playful, ever-shifting ways to dress up, experiment, and express a mood.

The Trad Wife aesthetic draws inspiration from hyper-feminine, domestic glamour — think flared skirts, cardigans, pearls, and headbands. For references, look no further than Charlotte York from Sex and the City or Bree Van de Kamp from Desperate Housewives, who both embody polished, preppy, housewife chic with a picture-perfect edge.

Coquette Core leans into softness and romantic charm, with a touch of playful innocence. Expect delicate details like bows, lace, baby pink, ruffles, ballet flats, and sheer textures. It’s flirty, feminine, and often blends a vintage mood with a TikTok-ready, hyper-styled vibe.

Then there’s Indie Sleaze — the cool, chaotic energy of the late 2000s reborn. Smudged eyeliner, vintage band tees, slip dresses with boots, leather jackets, ripped tights, and a “just rolled out of a party” attitude are the staples here. Think Kate Moss at Glastonbury or the heyday of American Apparel ads.

In this piece, I’ve put together flatlay outfits for each of these aesthetics, offering both a splurge version and an affordable alternative. Whether you want to invest in timeless designer pieces or just dip your toe into the trend with high-street finds, you’ll find inspiration here.
