Coquette Academia is described as a softer, feminine academia. Though similar to light academia, its central themes are much more feminine in nature. It is based on the aesthetics of romantic academia and coquette/dollette. It centers around being both feminine and smart. Because coquette derives from nymphet and is generally associated with teenage girlhood, coquette academia has more of an association with high school(although it can be college as well), where other academia aesthetics like romantic academia are focused specifically on higher education, particularly prestigious universities.
Images of ballet shoes or young girls dancing ballet are also included in this aesthetic, as ballet dance is very common in dollette looks, especially classical ballet, and not to mention that ballet classes are found a lot in arts academies, mainly aimed at a feminine side or in any media that treats this in a delicate, fantasy and feminine way. (See the Ballet Academia and Balletcore page).
There can also be a darker version of coquette academia, inspired by dark academia(as opposed to light academia) and dark coquette.
